Description
A collection of SUP fin designs specifically for Slide-In box mounts (see last picture).
By printing the fin blade flat on its side, you get an incredibly strong part while cutting down on print time. The design features a generic base that can be reused across all the different fin blades—saving you filament, time, and weight in your SUP bag.
Print settings:
Infill: 50%
Supports: None needed
Tested Materials: Successfully tested and proven in both PLA and PETG.
Fin designs:
Touring: Features a large surface area with a swept-back leading edge.
Improves tracking (straight-line paddling)
Improves stability
River: A low-profile, shallow-depth design.
Less depth, good for shallow waters
Less chance to collect tangled river weeds
Surf: Smaller pointier profile.
Quick, responsive turns and agility in the waves.
Shark: An all-around fin size with an aggressive, eye-catching shark fin silhouette.
Solid everyday performance
Turning heads while your board is resting on the beach!
