rc boat

thingiverse

This is a basic 3D printed RC boat powered by a 2205 2300KV outrunner motor. Other similar motors could also be used. The hull can be printed as a single piece on a printer with a vertical work space of approximately 300 mm. I used the following components: - 2205 2300 KV outrunner motor - Servo - Metal couplers, diameter 8 mm - Axle, diameter 4 mm, about 120 mm long - Brass tube with an inner diameter of 4 mm and an outer diameter of 5 mm, approximately 80 mm long - Various M3 nuts and bolts June 17th Update: The center of gravity is located too far forward. To correct this, I modified the hull (V2) to place the Lipo battery towards the stern, directly over the drive shaft. A new cover that supports the Lipo as well as a side guide for it are also part of this update. October 9th Update: The boat was never very stable so I redesigned the hull (see files "Boat_V2..."). I also made it larger since it was too heavy for its size. I uploaded a full hull and one that is split into two pieces. These two pieces can be aligned and glued together.
