RC Airboat

thingiverse

Hi everyone, This is a high-performance RC air boat I designed. All parts are 3D printed with the exception of the advanced RC components. The list below shows what you need to have a fully functional boat. You can find all the necessary RC parts on Amazon, and links will be provided below. This model was specifically designed to print on the Creality Cr-10/s. This design has been tested and works extremely well. I'm planning to upload revision 2, which features a unique steering mechanism that directs air from the fans instead of using a rudder in water. Feel free to comment if you like this design or have any suggestions for me! A huge thank you goes out to LiVis, who designed and customized the propellers used in this model. You can find his creation here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2378965 Here are the parts you need to print: 1 - Airboat V3 hull 1- ring 1 1- ring 2 1- Angleasm 1- cover 2- elevator 2- elevator adapter 2- Motor Clamp 2- propeller6060-shaft5-st12-blade3 (Check out LiVis's page for more options) 1- rudder 1- ruddertop 2- rudderholder 1- servoext You'll also need the following RC parts: 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 the RC parts I used are linked in the section below. You may also need a few items that you likely 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 help with assembly, just comment or send me a note and I'll do my best to assist you. https://youtu.be/kNd1Z_I_YgM Note: I didn't have time to print the cover before recording this video, so it's covered with a piece of plastic taped over the top.
