Snowboard Pentagram Stomp Pad

thingiverse

Last season of snowboarding I started thinking of getting a stomp pad. It was soon forgotten until next family ski trip was coming up. I decided to print myself a stomp pad but did not find one I liked. So I decided to make one myself. The stomp pad is designed to either be glued or taped to the board. I used extremely strong double sided tape which was water resistant and could handle temperatures ranging from -40C to 70C. In addition I wanted the pentagram to stand out more so I decided to try painting it with nail polish. I have never tried this before so It was somewhat of an experiment. I painted it with three coats and let it dry in between. I recently tried it in the slopes and works great! I does not move at all and fills its purpose. The nail polish held unexpectedly well and from what I could see it did not wear at all. The pentagram itself was inspired by [this thing](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:27729) made by user [IWorkInPixels](https://www.thingiverse.com/IWorkInPixels/about).
