I recently tried to buy some vertical tie downs for my kayak. Ordered YakAttack brand from Amazon. They sent me a paddle holder instead. I returned it and asked to be sent the right thing. Same thing happened again! I took it as a sign to make my own.
For use with ¼"-20 track bolts like these here and ¼"-20 nuts.
Print Directions
Tie Down
- Orient tie-down horizontally for greatest strength. Nut slot should be facing straight up!
- ABS or PETG if you can't print ABS
- 0.2mm layer height
- 6 walls
- 4 top & bottom layers
- 65% infill
- tree supports on build plate only
- block supports inside the model where the bolt goes
Washer
- Orient the washer flat on the build plate
- TPU. I can imagine that PLA may work? Or just find a thick rubber grommet
- 0.2mm layer height
- 2 walls
- 3 top/bottom layers
- 25% infill
- no supports
Assembly
- Slide the ¼" nut into the tie-down nut-slot. In PETG this was a bit loose. In ABS I found I needed to press it quite hard (i.e., punch and hammer)
- Put the washer over the bolt
- Insert bolt into bottom of tie down
- Attach to kayak track and go!
