Buoys - IALA Buoyage Set

thingiverse

Set of Buoys & topmarks following IALA standards. I designed & printed just for fun really, but they would be usable for training purposes. 4 types of Spar buoy are included along with a Pillar (Post) marker, Port & Starboard hand marks (Can & Conical) & a round marker buoy. When printing the quarters to make up multi coloured Spar buoy, you MUST print an A & B quarter in one colour and an A & B quarter in the second colour. With the round & pilar quarters, just print 2 off of the file in each colour and glue them together. I found the only parts that needed support were the sphere topmarks & cross topmarks. Each part has a 2mm hole for fixing topmarks to the buoys - a thin nail or piece of filament is ideal for this. A printer with a colour change option in the slicer is ideal for the cardinal and preferred channel buoys. Printed on a Prusa Mini + using GEEETech PLA
