RS Aero Speedpuck mount

thingiverse

I wanted a lightweight and low-profile speedpuck mount for my RS Aero dinghy that minimizes the risk of lines getting tangled in the mount. To achieve this, I created a design that diverges slightly from the original carbon mount (which is also quite pricey). The 3D printed mount tips the scales at around 90 grams. For optimal results, I highly recommend using FormFutura ApolloX ASA material, as it boasts excellent UV resistance, water resistance, heat (sun) resistance, and prints exceptionally well. However, you are free to choose your preferred material. To assemble this speedpuck mount, you'll need a Type 1 connecting base with a button-fix attachment, which can be sourced for approximately 3 EUR/USD from the RS sailing store or other online retailers. You'll also require stainless steel wood/metal screws: * Six 3mm diameter screws that are clipped to a length of about 10mm (to prevent them from protruding through the back of the base) * Two 4mm diameter screws for securing the button-fix, which should be between 10 and 30mm in length I strongly advise using an additional thin line to secure the speedpuck itself at the vang cleat, as shown in the accompanying image.
