High-Quality 3D Model of Nylon Internal Flat Slide Are you seeking a straightforward method to make hoisting and lowering your mainsail easier? Consider installing sail slugs or slides on your sail for an effortless sailing experience. These small but mighty components enable the sail to slide smoothly inside the track and stack securely in the boom in the mast slot. By preventing the sail from catching wind, they protect it from damage at the bottom of the mast slot, also reducing wear and tear on the sail. This collection includes external sail slides, internal sail slides, and slugs for a comprehensive solution to your needs. Slugs are small barrels made of nylon, typically secured in front of the boltrope, then inserted into a slot in the mast instead of the rope. While they resemble slides in appearance, they have a unique T-shaped design facilitating easy installation in the mast slot. External slides connect to a track outside the mast. When replacing parts, it's essential to replace all hardware components at once because mismatched sizing causes sail dysfunction. For example, if you need new sail slides or slugs but cannot find matching sizes, your entire sail won't function properly unless you install matching equipment throughout. Choosing between slug and slide options relies on precision sizing for optimal fit in the mainsail slot of your boat, followed by style preferences enhancing sailing performance. If your sail features full battens, select a style designed to evenly distribute pressure among these battens, thereby preventing jams. When preparing for 3D printing, note the suggested materials: * TiTi Hard (TPU D70) * Total PA GF30 * NYLON 12, NYLON Carbon, and NYLON Carbon 2 Attention must be paid to storing nylon properly: - Store in dry locations at all times. The recommended extrusion temperature for nylon is 240-260 °C.
