Hydrodynamic Planer Board Shore & Boat Trolling

Hydrodynamic Planer Board Shore & Boat Trolling (Barchino Divergente)

This is a 3D-printable Planer Board (locally known in Italy as "Barchino Divergente"), a specialized fishing accessory designed for surface trolling. Its unique hydrodynamic shape allows it to "diverge" or pull away from the shore or boat as you move, spreading your fishing lines across a wider area and reaching spots that are otherwise inaccessible.

Features

• Optimized Geometry: Specifically designed to maintain stability and a consistent angle in the water.
• Lightweight & Buoyant: Engineered for 3D printing to ensure it sits perfectly on the water surface.
• Versatile: Perfect for both saltwater and freshwater trolling.

Hardware Required To complete this build, you will need:

• 1x Stainless Steel Rod: The rod must be long enough to span across the frame.
• Threaded Ends: Both ends of the rod should be threaded (or use a fully threaded rod) to be secured through the pre-designed holes in the side hulls.
• Nuts & Washers: Use stainless steel hardware to lock the rod in place and prevent corrosion.

How it works The fishing line is attached to a ring or clip that slides along the steel bar. When you change your walking or boating direction, the pull of the line shifts the attachment point along the rail, automatically re-adjusting the board's angle to pull away from you. I attached a picture or a wood model to better understand how it works and how to mount it.

Recommended Print Settings (Bambu Studio)

• Material: PETG or ASA (for UV resistance and durability).
• Walls: 4-5 loops for a watertight seal.
• Infill: 15-30% Gyroid.
• Support: Tree supports recommended for the cross-beams.
• Post-processing: A coat of epoxy resin is suggested for 100% waterproofing over time.
