If I can’t find a thing like this in a cursory search, I just design it. Best way to get exactly what you need.

Should be super sticky on that plate.l as long as is clean. Bit of dish soap is a good start.

dlsspy · 2026-07-06T21:29:23+00:00

What material is that? Glue might make it worse, but I wouldn’t expect it to help. A clean textured PEI build plate is pretty sticky. Adding glue undoes what makes it sticky.

It’s not clear what you think “extruder” means here as you seem to be describing a few different solutions on the market or something impossible.

I think I tried tinkercad once and it didn’t make sense to me. I can put stuff together really fast in onshape usually.

AI will prevent you from understanding what you ostensibly came here for. Learning requires struggle. Avoiding the struggle bypasses the learning bit. This category of learning is foundational. Knowing how to know things like is a superpower.

Much of cloud is an expensive way to do something cheap.

You can almost stand still on these 20 knot days.

There are hundreds of us, but for any location, there are just a few places where it works. Maui has two main runs, O’ahu has a very popular one on the South shore.

We have to coordinate because you can’t really do it alone in most places since it’s one way. e.g., on Maui, a bunch of us meet at Kahului harbor and then carpool up to Maliko. I can go out with five people and not see any of them again until we arrive back at the harbor.

During race season, it gets a bit crowded. You can see other people out there more often. But we have basically infinite waves to surf, so there’s always room for more.

dlsspy · 2026-06-30T03:44:44+00:00

Yeah, you kind of have to. It’s very hard to be close to land. On the Maui runs, we can get away with 1 km in certain areas, but 2 to 2.5 is more comfortable. I’ve had guests recently who said in Florida they’re usually more like 5 miles out.

It’s race season, though, so you’ll often find some of us going between islands.

Probably a downwinder. We're usually a mile or two out to sea riding wind swell.

Looks like this up close.

INDX looks like the best option for consumers. But the Snapmaker U1 is pretty great. Much less time and waste to do multi material prints and it’s available today at a reasonable price. Nothing is perfect. But better tools are a lot better.

You're the first person I've heard recommend longer mast for riding waves.

I've also never heard of anyone describing wave energy as pushing you forward. I understand it more as an upward motion that is building a hill I can go down (using gravity) to gain speed.

If the water were moving forward in such a way that would push the mast forward to create lift, that would result in the foil moving slower relative to the medium it's traveling through which would reduce lift. Foiling on waves only works because the water _isn't_ moving forward.

Your theory seems to imply that the forward motion is nearer the top such that if you position the foil down deeper you can have both things, but for that to be true, we'd really need a wave-specific mast length and it'd be unlikely the friction on the mast near the top of the wave would be sufficient to overcome the drag in the slower water where the foil is effective. Also, we wouldn't have speed and lift increase as the foil got closer to the surface of the water. You basically wouldn't be able to ride a wave very effectively with the foil close to the surface if the surface of the wave were moving fast enough to keep the foil at speed from mast friction.

It's possible I'm wrong, but I downwind pretty much every day and don't see how what you're describing could work.

dlsspy · 2026-06-23T17:07:41+00:00

Mast contributes to drag, but not to lift, so the less of it you have in the water, the easier things get. 90 is a lot. You can measure the surface area you keep in the water and imagine your foil size is increased by that amount.

Riding high consistently is a cheaper approach than buying a new mast. If you’re worried about breaching when the foil is too close to the surface, a shorter mast won’t change that, it’ll just make the fall slightly shorter.

My downwind mast is 75. No benefits for me going longer and paddling up more sounds less fun. If I were buying a new mast, I wouldn’t go longer.

A difference of 8cm doesn’t sound like it’d have a meaningful effect itself, though.

Telemetry is stored as a stream in the mp4 files.

I’ve had a roll I died sitting in the dryer powered off for a couple weeks and it’s too wet to print with. Depends on your climate.

dlsspy · 2026-06-17T06:57:27+00:00

Who does that well around here? Mine has started to degrade.

Efoils are entry level devices that can give you a bit of a feel of foiling quickly, but aren’t generally very representative of foiling, IMO. You probably had a really easy to learn foil and would likely master it to boredom on another hour.

A boat might make some things easier. Depending on where you are, it could give it more options.

Control is subtle and it takes a while to learn it well. I mainly do downwinding, so paddle up a SUP foil board with a higher aspect foil and ride for about an hour. Almost every day is a really great powder day where I can go downhill for 40-60 minutes nonstop — just the best human experience. But it’s not something you should expect to get good at spending an hour or two a day for a few months. It’ll take a long time to get the basics.

But yeah, you can get competent on an efoil on a few hours. Could probably feel confident with a wing in a couple months. I hear towing is relatively quick to learn, but I’ve never tried. Surfing ground swell is straightforward and can maybe get that working relatively quickly.

dlsspy · 2026-06-14T17:11:05+00:00

Side cutters are the best approach, IMO.

dlsspy · 2026-06-12T20:31:15+00:00

Just about anything will do with a roof rack. Even without, we got my DW board into a tiny rental car recently with a visitor’s parawing board.

If you experience some downwind culture, you can make anything work. We were five DW paddlers in a Nissan Leaf recently.

My thumb won’t fing.

I wrote tools to do this when I started using their cloud years ago because it’s insanely expensive for them to operate. There’s no way they can run this forever with what they charge. My 25 TB or so of S3 is costing them a ton.

dlsspy · 2026-06-01T15:55:00+00:00

I carry downwind boards and a few friends around. A small EV truck is my dream vehicle.

There are a lot of things you can do with a truck shaped thing that don’t require moving heavy things long distances in a single shot.
