Rowing blade bow tie

Minimalist blade-shaped bow tie to reinforce any rowing identity you enjoy.

The printing process is fairly straightforward with supports needed only for the joint centre and a bit of each blade (which I recommend printing upright (as in, with the normal vector to the main area of the blade in the x-y plane) to hide layer lines).
For painting feel free to follow your favourite youtube tutorials, etc. I used a Tamiya white primer (after some sanding) on top of which I applied Tamiya acrylic paint and fixed the surface with (non-Tamiya) gloss varnish.
Any sort of string of sufficiently narrow diameter (~2.5 mm) can be used to secure the bow tie. The design incorporates a small arch on its backside for this purpose (as shown in one of the photos.)

The model of the blade is directly based on the [Concept2 Comp blade](https://www.concept2.com/oars/sweeps/blades#comp).. Hence please try to avoid any mischievous commercial use of the design which might tempt Concept2 to take it down.
