Whisper foiling catamaran wand parts

grabcad

The Whisper foiling catamaran uses "wands" as ride height sensor to dynamically control the foil lift. Parts of that wand system break from time to time, so printing them yourself can be convenient.To produce an entire wand, you do need:carbon rod (CFK) 8mm diameter, 1m length (you will need to cut it to 830mm length)3D print paddle (lower end)3D print arm (top part of wand)2 stainless screws (3mm x 10mm or longer) -- you will clip to proper length anywayPrint material needs to be stronger than PLA, so I use e.g. ASA instead..additional replacement parts related to the wand system:lever inside of foil ride height mechanismUpdates:20180826: updated wand arm to mount the rod screw from the sidePost-PrintingFinishing the partswand arm:use 8mm drill to create a snug fit of the rod into the 3D printed partsdrill 5mm hole for the shock cord that pulls the arm backdrill 4mm hole for the hingedrill 2.5mm holes for the metal connector, and cut a M3 3mm metric thread into itdrill a 2.5mm hole into the carbon rod for the 3mm screw (I use a HSS-cobalt drill for the Carbon rod)clip the screw to a length so it just doesnt stand out on the other side of the armwand paddle:use 8mm drill to create a snug fit of the rod into the 3D printed partsdrill a 2.5mm hole for the 3mm screw (I use a HSS-cobalt drill for the Carbon rod)clip the screw to a length so it just doesnt stand out on the other side of the paddlewand rod:total length of original wand including arm and paddle is 930mmcut the carbon rod to 830mmwand ride height lever:drill 2.5mm holes for the 3mm screws (I use a HSS-cobalt drill for the Carbon rod)drill 2.5mm holes for the connecting rodcut M3 3mm metric thread into it -- you might use only 2 of three cutting tools, so that the fit of the screw is tightera tiny bit of glue helps additionally to lock the screws, so they dont open accidentally
