Who wants to do some commission prints?

09-28-2024, 03:56 PM

Thinking about getting some stuff printed for my kite hobby, was hoping to find a rough cost estimate on doing these + shipping to me.

Edit, found a different third option, no modification needed.

First one, straight print, I can do all the assembly and find some airsoft bbs
Depending on price I may want a few of these

Airsoft Pellet Bearing Kite Reel Winder by riskable

https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2545697

This is kinda sorta a remix of the excellent "Parametric Bearing for Air Soft BBs": https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1799757 but it's so far removed from that it's essentially it's own thing. I couldn't have done it without StreetPiet's excellent work though!This kite reel/winder is awesome. It'll easily hold 1000 feet of 50lbs line (I have 500ft of it in some of the photos). It's also quite easy to print and assemble! It's also a bit of a fidget toy if you don't put any line on it... It's fun to just spin it around and around!More importantly: IT IS COMPLETELY WATERPROOF. Seriously, water (and sand to a lesser extent) won't hurt it in the slightest. It cannot rust because the bearing uses Airsoft pellets which are plastic. Enjoy a rust-free kite flying experience!I've tested flying kites with it and it works wonderfully. "Reel fast" to bring your kites in and even small kites can pull themselves up out of the reel without much resistance (it's smoooooooth and low friction).There's two versions of the kite winder included:Hearts ("Airsoft Kite Winder-Bottom Outside Hearts.stl" and "Airsoft Kite Winder-Top Hearts")Lines ("Airsoft Kite Winder-Bottom Outside Lines.stl" and "Airsoft Kite Winder-Top Lines.stl").The bottom middle section (the part you hold on to) is the same for both. Hence it is named, "Airsoft Kite Winder-Bottom Inside Universal.stl".I've made some videos with some assembly instructions and tips but really, it's not rocket science (you'll figure it out):Demonstration: https://youtu.be/N0Ny52rMRNwTip: Sand The Seams: https://youtu.be/5QSOxoE7Y3gBearing Assembly: https://youtu.be/ueLuK6rByXsTip: Nut Insersion: https://youtu.be/KfSNv67YVxwTip: Locking the Reel: https://youtu.be/EKxS3LLyz3YUPDATE 20170926: Added "199mm" versions of the APB Kite Reel "top" and "bottom" parts for those with 200mm print beds. Enjoy!

Second, straight print, will want multiple for sure

This is a kite line winder to avoid entanglements.

Third thing, will only need a set of 2

Quad Line Kite Horns for Line Winding by CocoNut

https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:21492/comments

I love my quad line kites (beamer/toxic from hq) for their incredible maneuverability and power. But when it comes to packing up they are a mess compared to my depower kite with control bar. The lines start to separate into single filaments after winding und unwinding several times. To avoid this the lines should be wound in a figure 8. To be able to do that I designed the kite horns that can be attached to the handles before packing.
