MOJO Elite Series Duck Floater Decoy Wing Mount

• 10/15/24 v2 Update
  • Holes on top and bottom increases by .2mm (to 4.2mm and 8.2mm)
    • The 4mm and 8mm holes were too snug, especially when removing the wing from the decoy.  I broke a printed mount as it was a little snug when taking it of the decoy.
  • 4.2mm hole for metal rod changed to a through hole
    • The replacement mount wasn't sitting all the way down on the metal rod, like the factory wing so I changed the hole to be a through hole.  Just don't push the rod in so far as to make the magnet sit funny.  I recommend gluing the magnet in first, then the rod to make sure everything sits right.
  • Adjusted model so that the walls are a multiple of .4 to ensure good wall printing.  
  • Sample print file changed to .15mm layer height

This model is a replacement part for the wings for the MOJO Mallard Elite Series Floater duck hunting decoys.  I specifically made this to repair a wing that I broke on one of my Drake Floater decoys, I was a little too enthusiastic putting out my decoys on opening morning of duck season this year and the wing broke off when it hit the water.

You could probably use this to make your own wings even if you were really motivated.

The plastic piece is molded onto a 4mm metal rod in the wing, and the rod is firmly glued into the wing body and can't be removed.  I used a large pair of side cutters to cut away the broken plastic mount from my wing, I tested whittling it away with a utility knife and that seemed to work as well.  Save the magnet from the broken wing!  It's a 7mm x 2mm magnet in case you lose it.

You may need to drill out the holes on either end depending on how tight the fit is with the metal rod and the magnet.  The bottom rod hole is 4mm, and the large magnet hole is 8mm which should be plenty big enough, but it was a snug fit on my wing so I ran a drill bit down each end and it was just enough.

I used a drop of super glue in each hole to keep it together.  I printed mine in Hatchbox Black PETG using the .20mm SPEED and Generic PETG profiles.  I used 4 perimeters and 30% Gyroid infill for strength and a 10mm outside brim - likely overkill but hey.
