I will post a parts list and cost of everything soon. Let me know if you have questions about the build. Maytech MTSKR1905WF IP67 Waterproof Esurf Remote ISDT Q8 Battgo Lipo Battery Balance Charger - Connected to an old PC Power Supply Gong Foil - Allvator Carbon - Size Large 77cm Shape3d - 149 bd magenta - 75010 Paris France - Tel. Easy modification and prop works excellent! Uno Shaper CNC The Uno shaper is a Spanish machine that works perfectly with Shape3d. Motor Mast Mount - 3d Printed PETG filamentįliteboard Propellor - $45 (Had to drill out on drill press with 12mm drill bit). Gasket - Mold Star 30 (3d printed a silicone mold) Rust-Oleum Universal All Surface Spray Paint - Dead Flat Clear Rust-Oleum Glitter Spray Paint - Midnight Black Rust-Oleum Universal All Surface Spray Paint - Matte Farmhouse Black Glass Schedule - JPS 7oz Volan, JPS 10ox Volan (I still had to shape the rocker.) Įpoxy Resin - Resin Research Slow / 1.5 Gallon The shape of the board is similar to the Standard Fliteboard but I modified the shape with a square nose on my design.ĮPS Foam Blank: I sent the shape file to Green Light Surf Supply and they cut the blank and shipped it to me. I designed the board using AkuShaper Software (free). Battery lasts about 1hr 20min.īelow are the build details including files: Board I tested the board 3 times now and it’s a blast to ride. It was a slow build but an excellent way to escape covid and stay save at home. Hopefully this information will help someone on the quest to fly above the water. In the spirit of the community and helping others I’m posting my build with all the files. I spent hours and hours doing research and looking at everyone's builds. Nice to see a community dedicated to eFoil builders. Here’s the thing with the CNC and CAD programs though: you still have to be a skilled shaper by hand to know how to design a good board on a computer and finish one that was cut on a machine.First off I want to thank everyone posting on this site. One of the biggest fears about the machine is that anyone can go and “pop-out” boards on a whim. And that this in turn could hurt the industry as we know it, taking jobs away from the craftsmen that have dedicated years into their practice. From AutoCAD I can plot/print a full size template on my own plotter. Sure, anyone CAN do it, just like anyone CAN get a blank and some tools and hack their own board out. I dont import the Shape3D file to AutoCAD, I just transfer all the dimensions. But in reality, you still have to have an understanding of how and why boards and design principles work. In 2007 Pete started working for Aku Shaper a company based on the Gold. You have to know these principles and theories, and you have to be able to hand shape at a high level to get even a decent design out of a CAD file and a machine cut. Pete purchased his first shaping machine (an APS 3000) in 2005 as a means to. If you have never played around with a CAD file, go download a free program like Shape3D or AKU Shaper, design a board, and see how it really turns out when it comes out of the machine. But you’re not done there, you still have to finish shape it to perfection. That’s where the majority of skill comes into play, and that’s not even counting the glassing process, which is a whole other level in itself. Now, most of the detailed shaping comes after a board has been roughed out. This is the stage that a machine cut will get you to, as opposed to taking an electric planer and doing it by hand. It saves shapers a little bit of time, and helps to ensure that they can get better results when duplicating certain models.
