Description
Hi everyone,
This is an RC air boat I designed. All the part are 3D printed with the exception of the RC components. The list of parts needed to have a fully functioning boat is below. All the RC parts I used can be found on amazon and will be included in links below.This model was designed to print on the Creality Cr-10/s
This design has been printed and tested and works really well. I will be uploading a revision 2 which includes a slightly different steering mechanism that directs the air from the fans instead of using a rudder in the water.
Feel free to leave a comment if you like the design or have any suggestions for me!
A big shout out to LiVis, he designed and customized the Propellers I used in this design, a link to his creation here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2378965

RC parts you need:
2- motors (I used 2 brushless 2200KV motor linked below)
2- ECS
1- Transmitter & Receiver (At least 4ch)
2- 9 gram servos
2- lipo batteries
All RC parts I used are linked in the section below.
Parts you need that you have lying around the house:
-a few inches of wire or small metal rod or even a paper clip to connect the servo's to their devices
-a few screws to assemble ( Approximately 12 screws) , should be roughly 2.5mm in diameter and 10-15mm long
-8 bolts (& nuts) to bolt on the motors to the hull (Approximately 2 inches long, 2-3mm diameter, can be larger but you'd have to drill out the holes to the correct size)
If you need any help with assembly, comment or send me a note and I can help out.
note:I did not have time to print the cover before I recorded this video, hence the piece of plastic taped over the top.
