RC Battleship - Free RC Ship

cults3d

The mighty Death Gate once ruled the oceans, and in fact, the world, bearing enough firepower to bring entire nations to heel with just the very threat of its presence off their coasts. That historic era has passed but for the first time ever, you can build and command the 43 inch, 1090 mm Radio Controlled the aptly named PreDreadnought battleship: Death Gate. For it has ushered many a poor soul through Death's Gate to the great beyond. This vessel has been designed to be easy to print with no supports required for any parts of the ship, quick to assemble with no clamps or special tools, excellent handling characteristics on the water and plenty of room to add customizations such as servos, wiring and lighting. To further aid in assembly and keep things economical, only one motor, shaft and propeller are needed. It sits very nicely in the water and effortlessly slices through the waves in forward or reverse. With its sleek, yet menacing lines and Steampunk style aesthetic, the Death Gate is a spectacular creation to behold. At just over One Meter Long, it really is a magnificent looking ship, whether sitting on display, or out smoothly gliding across the water. If you like to build RC vehicles, like ships and boats or just want an incredibly impressive project to show off your 3D printer's capabilities, then you will really enjoy this awesome creation that I spent many hours designing. I use my RC ship on a tidal river and in the ocean and that is what this hull was designed for. It handles the environment very well, often at enormously greater than scale speeds, easily cruising against currents that a lesser ship could never dream of handling. (BTW: in public areas it often draws onlookers admiring its pleasing design and smooth performance, so be prepared for that, and replying that you printed it on your 3D printer when they ask you where you purchased it and how many hundreds of dollars did it cost you) Video clips of DeathGate's first Sea Trials: https://youtu.be/An8dCaNEO5M and https://youtu.be/cJbvdVHG1xk
