Basics
- A small watercraft that usually sits one person
- Is propeled by a hand paddle
- Can be made of many materials; The most common are all rigid plastic, but some inflatable ones have emerged which can be deflated to very small sizes (such as an average backpack/tote bag)
- 70 CM +/- a few cm seems to be the standard width
Industry Standards
Existing Open Source Designs
- CNC Kayaks (They Make CNC Plans for Wooden Ones)
- This 3D Printed One (in many sections) by grass roots engineering
Basic Design
Sit On Top (SOT)
One Piece 3D Printed Plastic
- Would require a HUGE D3D , or use a Belt 3D Printer
Multi Piece 3D Printed Plastic
- The more reasonable option
- The Kayak it is broken into shorter segments which can be broken apart for storage then reattached for use
- Also allows for a modular build (ie seat section, basic hull section, footrest section, fishing rod holder/cargo section, bow section, stern section, etc)
