3D Printed Surfboard

These are the working files for a 3D Printed surfboard I designed in AKU Shaper and exported as an STL. The STL was then imported into Meshmixer and the surfboard model was cut apart into smaller pieces for printing, alignment holes were added and a spot for a leash and vent plug.

I have included the original working files and the exported files from Meshmixer with the pieces hollowed out at 0.75 mm wall thickness (mostly, some were printed thicker).

After printing the model was glued together using Weld-On 16 and then fiberglassed.

This would make a cool wall hanger or display.

The fins were 3d printed as well but I couldn’t find the link to the ones I printed I found them on Thingiverse. I didn’t want to include the files unless I had permission.

For an in depth look at how I created it check out an Instructables I created and I posted a youtube video about it as well.
