Fingerboard Skate Park

I designed and printed a miniature skate park, to be used with fingerboards. After going to real skate parks with my friends, we often argue about how we would design our own skate parks differently. With this project, I got to try it out myself.

I'm from Berkeley High School in Berkeley, California.

The whole project was designed in Fusion 360, and printed on a Prusa 3D printer.

To make this 3D print, use my design linked below this step, or make your own in Fusion 360!

To start, make sure to sketch your ideas on paper first, then draw it in fusion. I decided to stay simple, with just a staircase, ledge, and a ramp. You can experiment with other skatepark features like halfpipes, rails, bowls, etc. in your own designs. Sketching and extruding is really all you need in this design. There's no need to over complicate things, since simple geometry is ideal for skateparks.

Sizing for this project is crucial. You want to make sure the features of the park are in proportion with your fingerboard, and that it will fit within the boundaries of your printer. My printer had a max length of 7.5 in, so I adjusted it to fit.

For print settings, I used PLA with a 10% square infill.
