380mm Long Twin Jet Drive Work Boat

thingiverse

Hi All! I've added a 3D printable basic hull to the design, but keep in mind that there's no jet drive cut out, so you'll need to print and cut out your own drive to fit. I'm also considering including a hull with the main body of the drive already incorporated, with permission from the creator. Based on this fantastic Jet Drive design, I decided to build a twin jet drive jet boat using two of these drives printed at 50% and powered by two 370 type brushed motors. This is a 'kit' that requires some fabrication skills, gluing sheeting or planking, and other intermediate-level tasks. Please check the DXF files in the "Thing Files" section for laser cutting instructions for the hull, decks, and window glass. To assemble this kit, you'll need: * Wood: 3mm Laser plywood, 0.8mm Laser plywood, and 2mm Square balsa or softwood stringers * Plastic: 1.5mm Acrylic or similar sheet for windows * 3D Printed parts: two jet drive units printed at 50%, windows (still to be finished), door, cabin roof, adapter plates (two mirrored files) to fill the gap between jet pump and hull * Hardware: two 300-sized (I used 370) brushed motors or equivalent brushless motors, 2mm stainless steel shaft, suitable bushes for the jet pumps, piano wire for linkages, a suitable Lipo cell (I used 2s 1300mah), RX, ESC, and Servo Take a look at this short video of my first test in the kids' pool! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GS-Wt-r6vhg https://youtu.be/2CsqiXyh5hQ
