This week I focused on ways to make this surfboard modular.
I wanted this surfboard modular for 2 reasons :
I thought about creating 2 plugs on each part and linking the whole thing with 2 wires passing inside the plugs.
The difficulty here is to avoid leaking. Each part must be totally water proof. So I have to think about making joints.
Also to prevent the fiber glass overlay of having inner pressure problem I have to add goretex valves on each of the 3 parts of the board I guess.
The good thing with 3d Printing is that I can include all the plugs (fins, leash, valves) inside the structure with some boolean techniques.
One more problem I had to solve was the density of the tessellation on the high curvature parts. Rails are really important parts of the board design and hydrodynamics. Rails must be smooth and straight not bumpy. My solution is to add manually, on the 3d model's rails, tubes to the structure after the tessellation process. These "tubes" will act as guide for the fiber on the rails.
Problem with my model (maybe normal problem or 3D printer problem).

- We cannot print a 1.8m height object easily
- Make it foldable and easy to travel with
