Speed Boat RC (experimental)

thingiverse

In my final attempt for a swift vessel, certain improvements are necessary. A wide stern part is essential, and to combat the high bow wave that sprays water into the boat, spray rails should be employed; this is standard on real boats. With these alterations in place, the boat runs smoothly and fast enough for personal satisfaction. For printing, it's best to use spiral vase method for a smooth surface without layer change noses. The hull thickness is 3mm, and recommended print settings are 0.3mm layer height and 0.6mm width. Ensure the model is printed hollow with one perimeter to fit within the interface part. Utilize the motorboat enlarged version's interface part from thingiverse.com/thing:284692. To fasten the motor mount, melt holes in the support using a slightly modified bowed soldering bolt (as shown in the photo), but avoid drilling as it could damage the material. The holes in the support are not designed due to printing limitations in spiral vase mode. Remaining parts can be sourced from thingiverse.com/thing:272132 (motor boat).
