3D model description

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 anyway

Print 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 mechanism

Updates:

  • 20180826: updated wand arm to mount the rod screw from the side
  • 20200530: added wand paddle/skimmer model with screw mounting from aft
  • 20200530: added wand paddle/skimmer model with screw mounting side - maybe thats the most convenient option for mounting.
  • 20200606: added wand arm version to mount the rod screw from aft, and another version to mount the screw from both sides, to make unmount/mounting easier. mechanically is the version from 2018 with one rod screw from side more robust.
