This is a kayak hatch cover and base that can be easily retrofitted to existing kayaks. The hatch cover is about 8 inch in diameter and prints on the X1C.

The hatch is meant to be installed over an existing rim using epoxy. It can also be used in a new build.

The cover is a screw on cover. The hatch cover and base both have a hole so that a cord can be inserted to prevent loss of the hatch cover.

I did not yet get around to finishing the parts but will give them a finish sanding and a coat of epoxy.

I am still learning how to best use my X1C but be sure to enable support for the hatch cover. Also, position the parts to that they are both upright as surface finish will be better.

The parts can also be scaled if you need a smaller or larger day hatch.

In the pictures, I have not yet retrofitted the hatch so it appears to sit much higher than what it will be after installation.

I have a few other parts that I made for my kayaks and will be uploading those as well.

Enjoy and happy kayaking!

My designs 

I enjoy creating 3d models that others can use and appreciate.  It is a very fun pastime.   I find it very rewarding to see my models downloaded and printed.  I put lots of thought, time and effort to create each model print out multiple iterations to make sure it works just right. 

If you liked my model and wish to encourage me please give it a like or a boost. If you wish you can also help me with my filament costs.  Thank you.
