This is an experimental kite connector. It's a try to build classical octagonal kites flying stable without a tail.
I just tried it out with only one kite. It works for me, and my kite flies stable without a tail.
But I don't know, if it works with other shapes (especially with starkites).
I still consider this connector very experimental. Don't curse me, if it doesn't work with your kite.
I printed it in PLA, because of the easier removal of the support. But I belive PETg would be a better choice.
Print it solid and use support up from the print bed only.
The connector is made for 3mm rods.
The arrow points up!
For german speakers, there is a thread about it in the german Drachenforum: https://www.drachenforum.net/thread/109622-sternverbinder-mit-eddywinkel/?postID=1504805#post1504805
