A Simple Yet Elegant Vessel: Designing a Lightweight Boat for Smooth Sailing. The design consists of two distinct components, each crafted with precision and care. The first part is a hollow shell, printed without infill or supports to minimize weight while maintaining structural integrity. This minimalist approach ensures a sleek and agile boat that glides effortlessly through the water. In contrast, the second component features a 100% infill print with no supports, resulting in a sturdy and rigid hull that can withstand the rigors of the sea. This combination of lightweight and robust materials creates a vessel that is both swift and secure. To further enhance its durability, the boat undergoes a specialized coating process to render it completely waterproof. This protective barrier shields the boat from the elements, ensuring that it remains in top condition even after extended exposure to water. For optimal performance, a small M5 nut can be securely fastened into the keel. By adjusting the center of gravity, this clever tweak enables the boat to navigate with increased stability and agility, making it an ideal companion for sailors of all skill levels.
