Race Boat

thingiverse

This is a scale hydroplane boat model (or thunderboat) that I created, based on the "Banshee X" design from the arcade game "Hydro Thunder Hurricane". To make it even more authentic, I added a car-inspired spoiler. The overall length of the boat is about 14 centimeters and its width is around 6 centimeters. The model can be printed quickly, in under two hours, due to its simple design which allows for single-layer printing. However, when working on an earlier version of this design, I discovered that it was unable to stand upright properly without support material or excessive surface contact with the print bed. I decided to revise the model's design again and created a third iteration that stands steady on its own stern, ensuring good adhesion to the bed while also requiring minimal to no additional support material for printing.
