Float Buoy

Are you tired of coming in off the water and looking high and low for the temporary anchor line you set?  This is the solution for you!  Maybe you want unique colors to mark your crab or lobster pots.  Maybe you just want to float a line…

This version is scalable in slicer, and feel free to remix the design to suit your needs with the .step file.

Print the model on the build plate as shown in the screen shot, no supports necessary.  I used very low infill 5% and two perimeters and it floats just fine.  FDM printing is not necessarily water tight, however it seems to fit the bill for recreational day use, in this case.  

The original use case for this was to mark jet ski anchors, no more vision quests in the shallow water looking for your anchor.  With the neon pink it is clearly visible from ¼ mile (400 meters) away or more!  It is far more flexible than just a jet ski anchor marker, and can likely be used in your water activities!!
