Water Ski Keel

This is one of the first projects I ever 3D printed last year when we first purchased the Replicator2. This is the keel for one of my father’s water skis. We have owned these skis for 30 years. Soon after purchasing them, the right ski was run over after being dropped and the keel was broken in half. We have been skiing on it like that ever since! I wanted to solve two problems. First, fix the keel, obviously. Secondly, the keel is black to match the bottom of the ski. This makes it VERY difficult to find after being dropped and turned over in the water. So, I printed the keel in bright green and it makes it much easier to find!  I wanted to revisit it a year later to see how it is fairing under the punishing forces and water exposure. There are a few cracks, so I am planning to re-print this in ABS once I retrofit my Replicator 2.
