    DIY Cheap Quick Release Weights

    I tried that, and it went from a quick release to a no release lol. Playing with the length coming off the dog bone is what changes the removal force.

    DIY Cheap Quick Release Weights

    Experimenting with my own quick release weight straps. Strap goes onto belt and through weight. Still needs to be sewn in two places and a red dog bone pull added. Withstands quite a bit of shock force. Might also embroider the pull tab.

    Is this a bastard force fin?

    Patents expire to drive innovation and protect consumers from price gouging. If you have a huge margin and stop innovating competition can keep you honest. Sounds like you didn't like that. I'm also guessing you are a fan of generic medication and don't buy the name brand... I'm saying this...

    Fun With Carbon Fiber

    They will def wear out, and un reinforced they were totally just save a dive. They make a small desktop waterjet now. I would use something like the to cut some stainless steel peices to pop rivet around the wrench to take the load. Regulators and such arent held on with a lot of force...

    Fun With Carbon Fiber

    These will definitely delaminate unsealed (I'm an engineer) but this was just a POC. The cuts would also have to be sealed because a raw carbon edge would make quick work of cutting through anything that isn't super hard (webbing, paracord, shockcord)

    Fun With Carbon Fiber

    Experiment with a more flexible inner webbing with a coating to make it easy to doff and don. The problem with it is the added thickness makes it a pain in the ass for existing quality buckles and triglides to use. One thing I'd like to try some time is ironing the strap, seeing if it can...

    Fun With Carbon Fiber

    I had, but pack ability for travel was the primary concern. If I could make it flexible, or maybe pack with a similar shape like force fins instead of freedive fins, that could be doable. Lastly this is just a machined piece of carbon fiber plate and doesn't require a mold which makes it very...

    Fun With Carbon Fiber

    Made a carbon fiber single tank backplate. Mares XR Wing doesn't fit it like I had hoped (they only have two tank slots, I wanted a single center one) Fun project none the less, save a dive cf wrench cut outs on the side.

    MAKO Interchangeable Competition II Freedive Fins

    Not to hijack, but I know some other manufacturers make just the open heal bit you could order and try to adapt. Considering that with these though I'd like to try a full foot, I'm wanting a shorter blade for travel so will just try cutting them if they go on sale again.

    Oxycheq Ultra lite Sift Backplate, "dolphin tech", mares....

    Looking at getting this (i have a cf backplate I made now, and while I have integrated wrench cuts and things that make it super cool, I think I'd prefer a soft plate for travel and not constantly be in fear of abrasion damage. Looking at the Mares XR soft plate (I have the super small mares xr...

    @rhwestfall It fits perfectly on it. not full rotation, only a bit. I took the other buckle off. in order to thread the trap I'm going to have to cut the end off and hit it with a lighter, but I'll still be able to go back to the zeagle setup if needed, and now I have two stainless split...
