rc boat

thingiverse

this is a simple 3d printed rc boat that is powered by a 2205 2300kv outrunner motor. other similar motors could be used though. the hull can be printed in one piece on a printer having a vertical work space of around 300 mm. i used the following components: - 2205 2300 kv outrunner motor - servo - metal couplers diameter 8 mm - axle diameter 4 mm, around 120 mm long - brass tube with an inner diameter of 4 mm and an outer diameter of 5 mm and a length of about 80 mm - various nuts and m3 bolts update june 17th: the center of gravity of the boat is located too far towards the bow. in order to correct this i modified the hull (v2) such that the lipo can be placed towards the stern, right over the drive shaft. a new cover on which the lipo rests as well as a side guide for the lipo are also part of this modification. update october 9th: the boat was never very stable so i redesigned the hull (see files "Boat_v2..."). i also made it a bit larger since it was too heavy for its size. i uploaded a full hull and one that i split in two pieces. the two pieces can simply be aligned and glued together.
