Tensigrity boat cradle

thingiverse

Liked my first design but thought it could be better. Firstly the stl ‘item called support’ is different to the pictures. During changes I made to the arm and foot base width, making wider. Although the base holes remained in the corner the pictures show the support ones did not. this has been corrected in the stl. The cradle only has one foot on the base, the whole thing is slightly wider and a slight adjustment to the ‘support’ shape, with the addition of a grove for the sling. The arms to are slightly wider and longer. The sling once printed is cut in half, passed through the top and glued to the base. All hull shapes are different through out their length and i thought the sling was a good way to accommodate this. I think if possible however if printable the sling could be thinner. The boat is so light it is not bending to support along its whole length. Possibly may look to use some slim bits of Foam instead Tried again to give it clean lines. Knotted the fishing line an pulled part way through and glued on the top holes. The arm holes I passed it through the hole twice the loop on the inside and glued. The base I passed through a second hole you will see, tied and glued I found that the support stl can be printed in one with supports on base. I have supplied this item cut in half that can be glued together or as one piece. Printers choice. 215c Nozzle, 60c Bed, 0.2 quality setting 15% infill
