René the Rubber Duck Boat

Remote-controlled rubber duck boat

Overview:

I am excited to introduce Renè, an RC-controlled rubber duck boat I created in collaboration with BambuLab. It's a remix of my larger RC duck, which was modified to use the RC components from MakerWorld.

This model uses the official-standard-remote:

Different motor couplings:

You can choose between using a PU tube or a brass coupling to connect the motor and axle. The PU tube makes assembly easier and more cost-effective, but doesn't hold as firmly. In contrast, the brass coupling is very strong, but it makes assembly more challenging because it requires you to apply minimal force while screwing it in. The coupling may bend and block rotation if you use too much force.

Maker Supply Info:

The maker supply part list is prepared for one rubber duck, but you will need a remote in addition!

If you choose the Beginner Hardware Kit, you get all parts except the ones for the driveshafts and motor coupling (B-ED001, B-DA013 und B-FC005/B-RC001). Think for them if you uncheck the individual parts.

Instructions:

You can either watch the video tutorial or refer to the assembly guide located in the documents section.
