Radio Control Racing Boat - Aerotrooper

Please read before printing:

This is a work in progress. I'm currently fine tuning the boat, so I've decided to release the current design now in a “beta” state and keep working to upload updated files. Please understand that there is some room for improvement here. I welcome your feedback to help make this design the best it can be.

PLA is not recommended for the boat parts (it works, but ABS, ASA, or PETG would be better).

You can use the included 3MF files with pre-plated parts, or arrange the individual parts yourself.

Recommended print settings (100% scale, 0.4mm nozzle):

Use PETG or similar material with 15% infill.

Print the blue parts in soft material like TPU.

Apply normal (manual) support with snug style to Casco Trasero.STEP

Apply tree (auto) supports to Gavia.STEP:

Assembly Manual: ‘Think twice print once’:

If you want to guarantee the watertightness of the hull, I recommend applying one or two coats of clear varnish.
