USF Pirate Ship

thingiverse

Oops, named it USF pirate ship even though I took the logo off the sails. For a school project I designed an animatronic pirate ship. It involved red LEDs in the cannons on a timed system, a stepper motor that moved the turrets back and forth from the edge of the deck using a camshaft and spring system (to simulate cannons firing) and a servo motor to simulate the boat bobbing up and down in the waves. All of these attached files are for simply printing the boat, which has a flat base so it stands up! Note that the sail files I included are blank, so you wont get my awesome USF Bulls sails. If you have any questions or issues feel free to leave a comment. If you're interested in the full project that I did, check out my instructable on it at http://www.instructables.com/id/Animatronic-Pirate-Ship/. I posted it there shortly after I made it and I'm too lazy to try to retype/format that whole thing. It has detailed instructions, the arduino code, all of the electrical components, and all of the .stl files associated with the full project.
