rc boat - HMS FLIPPER

grabcad

HMS FLIPPER is my attempt to build a boat with paddle drive that has become reality.As a little boy, I had a toy boat to wind up that had a paddle instead of a propeller at the back. I tied it to my grandfather's fishing rod and let it cruise across the small pond. That was much more exciting than waiting for the tiny fish.HMS FLIPPER looks a bit like the lunch box my grandpa used to keep the earthworms in for fishing - and to make a long story short: The first flipper model made of the colourful PLA parts was leaking. The water penetrated through the printed walls. The second model made of translucent PETG warped so much that I didn't even put it in the water.Maybe you're still curious enough to try it out for yourselves . . .And now good luck!(Some of the electrical components here are from the GrabCAD community. Thanks a lot for that.)SolidWorks version is 2017
