The Thrash Metal - A diy aluminum rc jet boat with 3d printed skeleton

myminifactory

This project is about making your own RC Jet Boat (Hull) from sheet aluminum with the help of 3d printed templates and skeletons (sub-frames) and without a welder. It is pretty much the first prototype version so the built might be a little tricky. If you are interested, I made a video about how I made this boat, if you have any constructive questions, feel free to comment:  https://youtu.be/qtKzEbLRp1c If you want to see this boat in action, I made a video of the first test drive: https://youtu.be/6sH30PpD04U The jet that I used is a TFL 29mm jet with the 4 bladed impeller, but you can also use any other jet or even put a prop in it if you like. I also included the fusion and step files, however, they might be a little messy, so please be careful if you want to change the geometry or anything. I designed the objects in a way that they do not necessairly need support with the right slicer settings, however, for some parts it could be beneficial, if you like pretty prints. The wall thickness I chose is 1.2mm with 10% infill with a .6mm nozzle and a 300x300x400 mm print volume (or bigger)
