Whitewater Kayaker Model

thingiverse

This is a model designed to teach maneuvers for whitewater kayaking. The model can edge the kayak from side to side as well as twist the torso from left and right. To build the model, print one part for each component, and two posts are required. Print Settings: Printer: DaVinci Jr. Rafts: No Supports: Yes Resolution: 0.2mm Infill: 5% Notes: Supports are necessary for the bow, stern, shoulders, torso, and head files. Post-Printing Assembly: Slide the hexagonal axle through the torso. Insert the axle into the kayak's bow along with the two posts. Attach the stern to the posts and axle. Slide the shoulders onto the torso and attach the head on top. Slide the paddle shaft through the holes in the shoulder part and attach the paddles to the ends. Use a small amount of glue to hold the axle, posts, paddles, and head in place, but be careful not to get glue on the parts of the torso and shoulders that pivot.
