Rolling Kayak Model

This model is designed as a fundraiser for an incredible program called First Descents (www.firstdescents.org). First Descents operates outdoor adventure programs for young adults affected by cancer, providing life-changing experiences that promote healing and empowerment. If you choose to download this model, please consider making a donation to First Descents through the following site: support.firstdescents.org/3DPrintedEddy. The model prints in one piece (with the exception of the paddle) and can move at the waist, shoulders, arm, and head to illustrate the motion of rolling a kayak. Print with supports for both files to ensure a smooth and accurate print. A raft is recommended for the paddle file as it simplifies removal of the small supports. When finished, carefully remove the supports and gently move the different joints to snap the supports into place. For the shoulders, press down on the torso and you'll feel the supports snap in (twisting the model can break the axis inside). Make sure to also remove the supports at the bottom of the head before attempting to move it. Once removed, slide the paddle into the kayaker's arms and use a small amount of glue to connect the second paddle blade.
