Files to 3d print a 'knubster' style mini keel surfboard fin

This is a listing for 3d design files to produce a functional 'knubster' or mini keel fin using a desktop 3d printer. Prints great in PLA! 

The price is set to 'pay what you want' with no minimum :) Official FCS fins like this sell for £20. Print them for your friends for fun and profits...

I'm a surfer, engineer and maker, I designed this fin to 3d print and use in my own boards. The template is based on the classic Gephart Slantback keel but in knubster form.

--------------Details on the fin--------------

The airfoil profile is NACA 0010 and is double foiled (like a centre fin), see http://airfoiltools.com/airfoil/details?airfoil=naca0010-il

The dimensions are 76mm base x 48mm high x 8mm thick, the thickness is similar to a normal FCS fin. 

Single tab to fit a FCS box.

--------------3d printing and assembly--------------

There is a separate file for each fin half, they work best printed flat on a desktop 3d printer at 100% infill (solid) with low layer height (<0.3mm). The flat surfaces from the print bed of each fin half can be roughened with sandpaper and then bonded together with 5 minute epoxy glue to create the finished fin.

I can create custom designs and variations, drop me a message if you're interested!
