Description

This is a simple remix of the very cleverly designed balloon-powered UFO-shaped hovercraft by uhltimate.

 

I found that the original model, with its single bottom port, didn't provide quite enough air flow to allow for particularly smooth gliding. So I tweaked the model a bit to use four bottom ports to help maintain balance, especially with larger balloons, and to provide a higher/smoother hover. The tradeoff being that the balloon pressure exhausts more quickly. But with uhltimate's rather ingenious removable valve design, it's very simple to remove the balloon for rapid reinflation.

 

Hats off to uhltimate and this design, and all of their designs. I've been fidgeting with their OTF fidget knife all day! If you found me before them, please go check out their other models!

It doesn't really skate across the surface and the air comes out of the balloon too fast for it to last very long. I'd advise sticking with the original design listed in the description. Otherwise it prints okay.

tried both original and this version. I found original better because 4 hole version shorten run time a lot.
