Weed Deflector for Nelo 520

thingiverse

This is a weed deflector designed for Gen 2 Nelo 520 L surfski. Will probably fit on other skis too. Comes in two versions, a larger sturdy one and a small and small/thin version. I printed it with PETG and attached using heavy-duty Scotch double sided mounting tape. It holds very well despite being in the water and is non-permanent like epoxies. I printed it with 100% infill, tree supports and sliced it deliberately angled (see attached pic). With this orientation of layer lines it comes out pretty strong. Note that the flat side of the part is not actually flat, it has a slight curve to match the shape of the 520's hull in front of the rudder. Which is probably not a big deal if you attach with tape that has some thickness or any filling adhesives like silicone or polyurethane.
