Balloon Boat V3 - Compatible with Mini Figures

thingiverse

Hi there again! EDIT: I added a new version of Balloon Boat - without the Ballon-option ;D so it's just a boat to combine with mini figures (because of request in comments). --> Boat_wo_Balloon.stl EDIT: First of all: Thanks a lot to everybody who likes my balloon boat, to those who printed it and to those who gave me a little tip. It is just so amazing being featured on Thingiverse. When I woke up and saw the e-mail with the notification I couldn't believe it. Ok, back to work ;) Why an edit? Another small update: - Because some users asked for it: added a smaller version of V3.1 - added a version without pins of V3.2 --> maybe it is better for people having trouble with air leaks. (But the problem for those is at first still the tube, not the pins). UPDATE TIME! What's new? - The "inner life" got's a new design. It is cleaner and the air will not leave the tube anymore. - V3.1 & V3.2 got a shorter chimney - faster print and more stability - The pin-rows are now even - Yippee, Homer J. can sit just right in the middle of the boat! - The pins become a little bit thicker - so the blocks will fit even better. - V3.2 is a "classic" balloon boat with exhaust - it's easier for kids to inflate the balloon and in my opinion the boat is more stable on the water and faster. Thanks to all for the good suggestions and thanks a lot to those who think it's worth a little tip for my next coffee when designing things :-) Previous text: Here is my new Version of "Balloon Boat" (V3). Now it is fully compatible with the famous mini-figures from Denmark. Video: http://vimeo.com/254343120 It is also much more stable on the water than the older versions are. Print it, try it and if you think it's worth it, I would be happy of a little tip. 1. Put a balloon over the chimney and blow in the exhaust. 2. Set the boat on top of water and release the "air hole". 3. Have fun! Link to V1+V2: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2735625 Greets
