DIY Drop Capsule Slide Model Kit

thingiverse

Who doesn't love a thrilling water slide? I've been fascinated by drop capsule slides lately, where you count down 3...2...1...Launch! and the floor drops out from underneath you, plummeting down the slide at breakneck speed? Why not a compact model? Absolutely! How about a fully functional one? That's great! And how about creating your own layout? Amazing! That's exactly what I've done! You're now in charge of designing your dream water slide! Simply print the (coming soon) drop capsule assembly, which includes a pod, door, base, drop floor, trigger pin, and platform. Next, print the tower pieces - base connectors and pylons - as many as you need to achieve the desired height. Finally, print as few or as many slide pieces as you want to create your unique layout! (Don't forget to print a splashdown for connecting a pump.) Once assembled, customize it to your heart's content, attach a small water pump, and get ready for some adrenaline-pumping fun! Take a leap into a simple 75-degree drop or design one with plenty of twists and turns! Check the image above for a basic layout idea and feel free to suggest more below! So step on in and 3...2...1...PRINT!
