3D printable kite parts

This page gathers the 3D models we know about for kites and their gear. Files remain hosted on their original platforms and have not all been tested by QuadKites.org.

Before using a part, check dimensions, rod diameter, print material, layer orientation and the mechanical loads it will face. A line winder part does not have the same constraints as a frame connector.

• End caps: Watty’s recommended model, Thingiverse model 1, Thingiverse model 2
• T-connector
• Washer

For connector setup, also see Frame, connectors and bridle.

• Complete ground stake
• Ground stake heads: model 1, model 2

• Winders: model 1, model 2, model 3, model 4, model 5, model 6, model 7
• Winder integrated into handles

• Equalizers: model 1, model 2
• Revolution kite stick, designed for a 4 mm O.D. stick

This list is currently a directory of spotted files, not a tested catalog. The most useful information to add would be:

• compatible kite diameter and model;
• material and print settings used;
• feedback after several flying sessions;
• required corrections or scaling changes;
• model license and author name.
