Box kite

thingiverse

A build-yourself old school box kite, made up of square frames, lengthwise tendons, corner locks, and stiffeners - all together nine different types of parts. Fairly heavy looking build but parts are hollow from the inside (not including the joint sections and stiffeners). Corner locks serve three functions: tying the corners together, attaching the wing material (inside corner), knot places for tying the yarn on the kite (in a variation of ways). This was a fast project and even faster instructions (sorry for that), still haven’t had a chance to print it out. Modelled with Autodesk Inventor 2014. My second model for printing purposes, will revise as needed after eventually testing it. Maybe later will pair with a kite thread holder/reel. Use this kite at your own risk.
