Nice, you made quick work of that @seantab! What material did you print with?
Have you given any consideration to running your motor wires inside your mast?
Perhaps you don’t want to alter the mast but eliminating the drag from the wires can have quite an impact on the ride
@S_Roger i used Elegoo ASA from Amazon ~$20/1kg, I used white instead of black to make it more outdoor worthy and cold.
@Foilguy , Yes and no, my goal of building this was to learn how to foil since I didn’t have access to someone tow me behind jetski or boat, but eventually once i get this up and running, i will switch it to foil assist, then probably remove the whole thing once I get good at this, and do just wake thieving or wing foiling. But if this turns out to be super fun, I might do as you suggested and run wires inside the mast. Unlike other people in this forum, i don’t even know how to foil yet. In my case, I built the car in order to learn how to drive lol

Esun PLA+ worked well for printing my propellers, much stiffer than the ASA-X I tested.

There are some examples of people 3D printing “fairings” for the external wire runs that you might want to check out.

Yes for sure i I’ll check it out. Thanks. Im stoked to try this prop today if thunderstorm and rain clears up.
@sat_be thank you, i surely give it a try. Btw, thank you for sharing flite prop stl file. How did you make that prop, do you have high quality 3d scanner? I am so impressed. Even though i had to widen shaft diameter by .1mm, I think that might have been issue with my printer or print quality not your file. A++++ indeed.
I did not scan it, someone from this forum initially adapted and shared it. I also used the file to create my own version, but credits should not go to me.
I can’t agree more.The original shipped firmware must tested by the engineer of flipsky .So no need to flash the new firmware.
