Eleventh session on the printed foil starter - everything works great. The carbon mast was not rigid enough. Replaced it with an aluminum one, it became better but still not ideal - there is some play, heavy weight. Ordered the HM mast, but they say that it also does not have enough rigidity, and UHM is incredibly expensive (

@rttn commericial plans or will the CAD files be shared with community? (Perhaps over DMs to skip our friend at Maytec…
)
I am ready to share files, but personally. Contact me via private messages. There is one condition - personal non-commercial use. And also, I don’t have much free time now, the possibilities for consulting on the project are limited, please treat it with understanding.

Why these issues with mast stiffness , is it related to the under the board solution or it is your general foiling experience?
Did you consider Gong HM v3 €800?

I have long noticed that the carbon mast is not rigid enough, including when towing behind a boat. Today I received the HM, tomorrow I will give Axis a last chance, if this is another trip in the style of a drunken master, I will think about changing the brand.

Stiffness could be mast itself, or mast-fuse interface. What front wing did you experiance issues with? For me, 1300 on “red” fuse was fine, 1201 on “black” fuse also ok, but 1401 on “black” fuse seems mega flexy. AXIS or GY feels the same.
I will ask a friend with indiana pump gear for a comparaison test. Also tested sirius 136, with HM mast, very little flex, but heavy.
I’ll write it here so as not to repeat myself in private messages. Guys, the compartments of my device are not waterproof. This is 3D printing, the plastic can deform, delaminate, etc. And even in a waterproof device, water can easily get in, for example, when replacing the battery from the sleeve of your wetsuit. Therefore, I think that in this design it is better to focus on waterproofing the battery and its connectors and carefully filling the compartments with electronics with silicone. The internal cavity on the side opposite the regulator is filled with a piece of foam. This is still a test version, I planned to wait until it falls apart to improve it, but it does not want to)

Yes that was my feeling too with 1201.
