DIY Drop Capsule Slide Model Kit

thingiverse

Who doesn't love a good water slide? I've been quite interested in drop capsule slides lately. You know, the ones that go 3. 2. 1. Launch! and the floor drops out from underneath you and plummet down the slide? Why not a mini model. Sure. How about a WORKING model? Great! How about a model that you can make your own layout? Awesome! So that's what I've done! You are the designer! Simply print the (coming soon) drop capsule assembly (pod, door, base, drop floor, trigger pin, and platform) and then print the tower pieces (base connectors and pylons, as many as you need for whatever height you want) and then print as few or as many slide pieces as you want to create your own layout! (you'll also want to print a splashdown so you can connect a pump) Once assembled, customize to your liking, connect a small water pump and off you go! Take a dive into a simple 75deg drop or create one with lots of turns and drops! Check the image above for the basic features and a nice moderate layout idea and suggest some below! So step on in and 3. 2. 1. PRINT! ##UPDATE LOG #####8.29.17 Don't use the older splashdown part. It's cumbersome and defective. A new one will be posted soon.
