Surfboard Fins (FCS, FCS2, Futures)

prusaprinters

<p>Used the original model as a baseline for the normal fins - thanks for the design!</p><p>Reduced the size to match the fins i already have and increased thickness, because they seemed a little thin.</p><p>The mini-fins were designed in blender based on an image i found online.</p><p>Same for the knubster center fin.</p><p>The side fins can be used right after printing without any post-processing.</p><p>For the center fins the model needs to be printed two times with the second version mirrored. The two halves need to be glued together after printing.</p><p>The model has 3 small holes - use 2mm long pieces of filament to align the two halves while gluing them together using super glue.</p><p>I printed and tested all fins.</p><p>Edit 2020-08-22: Added a shorter version of the fins</p><p>Edit 2020-09-06: Added mini fins</p><p>Edit 2020-10-25: Added knubster center fins</p><p>Edit 2021-08-08: Added mini center fins</p><p>Edit 2021-12-25: Updated fcs2 and futures tabs</p><p>Edit 2022-09-25: Added new river surfing fin model for weaker waves</p><h3>Print Settings</h3><p><strong>Rafts:</strong></p><p>No</p><p><strong>Supports:&nbsp;</strong></p><p>No</p><p><strong>Resolution:</strong></p><p>0.15</p><p><strong>Infill:&nbsp;</strong></p><p>30%</p><p><strong>Filament:</strong> Noname PLA&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Notes:</strong></p><p>For stronger tabs and fins:<br>Perimeters: 20</p><p>Top-/Bottom-Layers: 20</p><p>I have had a few fins break at the tabs with only 7 perimeters and Top-/Bottom-Layers.</p><p>Perimeters: 7</p><p>Top-/Bottom-Layers: 7</p><p>Tick "Ensure vertical shell thickness" to have more solid infill on the flat edges (see slicer image).</p><p>For the center fins i usually use 0.1mm layer height.</p>
