Delta Kite Spreader Joint

thingiverse

This is a joint needed to build a delta kite. I followed this guide from Public Labs to make my kite, but I got the idea from this Japanese guide on kite making and this part. This is used to attach a spreader spar across the back of a delta. It is designed to take an 8mm spar like a fiberglass driveway marker. There are two versions: one takes a 1/4-inch wooden dowel and a fiberglass spar, and the other takes two fiberglass spars. Shout out to Tailor for writing 99% of this and letting me publish it.
