CanTainer Ship — Modular Floating refreshment barge
Meet the CanTainer Ship, the ultimate modular refreshment carrier designed to keep your drinks and snacks afloat in style! Designed around a classic container freighter aesthetic, this modular system lets you link as many center holds together as you want. Need a single-can shuttle or a 10-can mega-freighter? Just snap the modules together!
Features:
- Modular Dovetail Design: Print the Bow and Stern, then insert as many center drink modules as your pool (or filament supply) can handle.
- Low Center of Gravity: Built-in ballast compartments in each module keep the vessel riding low and stable in the water, resisting tip-overs even when loaded.
- Fits Standard Cans: Sized to snugly hold standard 12oz cans, but I'll soon add bottle and slim can options
- Zero-Hardware Assembly: Interlocking dovetail joints mean fast assembly straight off the print bed.
Things needed:
- Weights of some kind. The ballast is designed for 40 pennies, but 1/4oz wheel weights work great too. More weight is required if you will be shipping glass bottled beverages or anything top-heavy
- 6x3 magnets
Planned additions:
Adding more sizes for cupholders (bottles, slim cans etc). Please message with sizes you'd like to see so I can make them! The beverages need to be relatively snug to avoid tip-overs. I'll also include the .step file so you can design your own custom holder.
I'm also working on getting multiple different versions of RC boat hardware (Makeroad boat kit and a CyberBrick kit) to make the stern module remote controlled so you can deliver snacks and beverages easily!
