Instructions:

To optimise for FDM printing, all fin files are a half cross section perpendicular to the z-axis. 

  1. Pre-Process: Ensure filament is UV and water-resistant. 

  1. Process: Mirror along the x-axis within the slicer before printing the second half or opposing side fin.

  1. Post-Process: Fuse both halves together using 10 parts acetone to 1 part ASA or a marine grade epoxy. Then sand and/or vapour smooth.

Optionally, to save time and post-processing for the side fins; double the z-axis height within the scale function of the slicer. This eliminates the necessity for a second half to print and fuse but it does leave a flat edge on the inside faces.
