Ski for Daewoo/Daetech 6hp 66cm snow plow

thingiverse

This is an enhanced ski for DAETECH/DAEWOO 6HP models with a 66cm wide snowplow. I created it using SketchUp due to the original skis' subpar design and frustrating adjustability. The updated ski features a fixed 1cm working depth. Note that it may be adaptable to other models by scaling it appropriately. A future version will boast an enhanced V-shaped bottom for improved steering performance, so stay informed about updates. Update - the latest iteration, suksi3v2.stl, showcases enhanced steering and clearance. Instructions: The ski was printed with Simplify 3D & Leapfrog Creatr'14 Dual at 220C using blue 1.75mm PLA without supports (latest iterations require them), with 30% infill, and a layer height of 0.3mm. To provide additional robustness against scratches or stones, I suggest thickening the outer shell; settings included: Top solid layers = 4, Bottom solid layers = 4, Outline/perimeter = 5 shells. Using ABS might offer better performance but changing spools to it would require extra effort, and PLA provides acceptable results despite potentially becoming brittle in freezing temperatures.
