Back to the Future Hoverboard

thingiverse

Replica Hoverboard from Back to the Future part 2. All parts for the bottom of the board are printed as well as the footplate on the top of the board. I also included a hole cover to mimic the area where the handlebars would have been attached. The board itself was made out of 3/4 inch plywood with approximate dimensions of 8in by 28in. About three inches were cut and beveled on the back of the board to give the end a slight angle of about 25 degrees. The edges were chamfered and painted magenta. I used full sheet sticky labels for the decals. I've included an SVG of the graphics I created based on reference photos. These are printed and the seams are cut along the diagonal lines, which hide them a bit better. While I used normal sticky labels, finding weatherproof ones may be better if you plan on using this prop outdoors where it may get wet/dirty. All 3D printed parts were printed at .2mm layer height, finished and sanded with Bondo filler and paint. The red magnetic plate holders are designed to be fastened with #4 wood screws, although I glued all the parts to the board as well. 2 in wide grip tape was painted and applied to the top of the board on the footplate as well as the front diagonal magenta strips. The footplate has a channel underneath for a pink foot strap to be glued into place. I used a trimmed strip of pink fur, but I think a strip of pink fuzz would be more accurate if you can find any.
