However, I also printed the part because it took me 10 minutes to design it. The left (driver's side) will be getting the PETG slider, greased with a spray-on dry silicone grease, the right (passenger's side) will be getting the Amazon part. The OEM part was actually rubber and not UHMW as most aftermarket parts are, so we'll see what the amazon part is.

The left has had about 80km put on it, and appears to be holding up just fine, The upper of the two springs originally had two spacers placed side by side, however it is impossible to open the springs up enough without completely pulling the suspension to get the second one in, so we'll be living with one of them. The actual replacement part comes in tonight so I will be able to test side by side and see how they wear over time.

tl;dr bezos and toyota can suck a dick, I have a 3d printer. Solid PETG though ABS or ASA might have a lower coefficient of friction.

Currently designing a ~1400cm^2 surf foil, 80cm span, eppler-817 profile with some serious anhedral at the tips.

STLs attached. The biggest problem I'm dealing with is stiffness across the span. 4 layers of kevlar and 3 layers of fiberglass was not enough to hold my weight. V2 (this one) has longer spars across the span, and I'm hoping to get it professionally carbon wrapped.

Any inputs on reinforcing? This thing is massive, and has to hold my weight by the mast attachment point in the center while getting beaten by waves, also has to be printable, as thin and as light as possible.

(note the attached STLs are for one half of the wing)
