Designed from scratch with thinner vanes and a 3" deep hole to fit a 5/16" wood dowel (Home Depot).

Vane is about 3 3/4" long.

I recommend increasing printing flow to 102% as I've experienced a bit of underextruding.

I recommend attaching it with shrink tube in the front a dab of hot glue or super glue on sides. The hole is cone shaped to allow sharpening of the dowel for a better stability.

I'm not an archer, I designed it from online fletching guides.

I will add other vane designs upon request, I have no idea what design works best.

UPDATE 5/20/2019:

Added 2 degrees angle to vanes. It should increase accuracy and stability.

Also improved vanes' shape.

Added seperate model of the fletching only for flexible filament printing.

5/23/2019:

Added a fletch with no nock that can be printed in vase mode in less than 40 minutes.

I have NOT tested it yet.

Nock is too wide, I will fix it soon.

Notes:

Printed at 50mm/s with 6mm raft extra margin, 102% flow, 4 wall line count.
Fletching seems to be a bit brittle printing at 200 degrees, I'll try printing at 210 to strengthen layer adhesion.

I suggest stopping the print at 5 or 6mm to check rod diameter fit. Scale in your slicer accordingly.
