Slow Build Austria / Salzburg

Hi, i found it on Facebook. Take a look to that Link: Redirecting...
It is a Startup and build Inflatable Bouard and efoils with Carbon :wink:
Mine is a not Carbon version.

Did you build a box for you inflatable and whan, how?

Thanks. I will contact them.
I’m preparing a post later this weekend (if all goes well) but in short, in the same way I did my mast clamp. 3D printed 6 parts with low infill and the plan is to pour polyester inside this weekend. At the bottom I’m going to use a 5mm aluminium sheet.

wow, what a great idea!
Do you think the structure is sting enough?
What do you think about epoxy inside?

First I plan to do the structure with wood and outside I use some layers with carbon and epoxy.
But now perhaps I print the parts like you with my Anycubic Chiron. Less infill and epoxy and after I make 1 or 2 layers with carbon :wink:

I’m building a box at the moment. Printed parts with low infill, glued together and then laminated with fiberglass. Bottom with alu plate 4mm. Top with carbon sandwich. Parts are printed.

I’m quite sure you don’t need any extra reinforcement. With either epoxy or polyester, the frame becomes rock solid. I’ve tested booth and my reason for using polyester is the price. Instead of just glue the parts together like @sat_be suggests, cut off the solid walls between the joints and then, when you pour resin inside you will have an almost solid part. I’ll explain more in my coming post later this weekend

So, after around two month i continue my work in CAD and did some testprints. PEr example if my Mastclamp fits to my 63100 motor.
Here a pic of all what i do.

and my testprint

Inside my Box i have a lot of work to construckt. I will seperate it in 3 areas. (Batteries, Elextronic and on save closed box that stops when water coming inside my mastconnector)

Here is the Adapter on the Gong mastplate…

… and here the savety waterstop box.

… here my mastclamp with duct.
The duct i decide to mount on the Fuselage. After printing in 3D i will coat it with CFK. I hope it is strong enough, when not i can easy change it with a more stronger model.

So, I bought the Flipsky 120kV Motor and change my CAD constructions to that system.

Here is my Fusion 360 CAD.

I decide to print first the Duct in PLA.

I want use the same colorscheme from my Gong Foil. I think the colors are very similar :slight_smile:

Very interesting. We could imagine that the front section of this square shape could have the same section as one half NACA airfoil section to minimize drag.

…, i am starting with 0,5mm and get slowly stronger.

… i fixed it with on screw with the backwing from the foil.

You do not need a grid at the downstream side, only upstream is important, because the propeller will repell anything which comes from the backside without danger. Only if you plan to spin the motor backwards it makes sense to have a grid at the back. Also the grid at the front side is too wide to protect the feet properly.

At moment I print my Duct without a grid!
The grid I want only when my children riding my efoil. I am working for some details for save my children. So it should not possible to start the Motor when a magnet is mount over an Reedswitch.
The grid should me only that nobody push the hands into the Propeller from the back. You are right, the front part is not save but I hope some one not put the hands complicate from the front to the running Propeller :wink:

So, the next part is printed.
I calculated the Prob Online with that link.

After theme I downloaded the Cad File and import it in my Fusion 360 and made mu constructions.
The result is a nice Propeller that fit exactly on the shaft from my motor.

Wait, you are printing without supports and still getting that quality ?

I would 100% fail I think

Yes, but on the underside i have not so a nice surface. But absolute no problem because I can clean that with a file.

Can I ask how much did you pay for this board ?
It seems a good shape and hole looks great too !
