Description

Well, this was fun, for like 60s until the boat sank.. Consider this a show of a newbie at 3D printing! :P

  • How do you make a 3D printed boat watertight?

I'm asking since I can hear water splashing around inside the hull/support areas.. Pouring out the water and you can restart for another 60s burst of fun, and then rinse and repeat.. However, the water inside the model doesn't drain so well, so that needs fixing.

 

I also need to increase the water displacement, as water line was too high and made water leak in to the motor and batteries. I'll likely increase the angle of the motor and propeller drive shaft as well, to get the motor further up from the water.

 

Remaining steps:

  • Increase water displacement
  • Increase angle of motor/propeller drive shaft
  • Figure out how to make the hull watertight
  • Upload new and improved version to Maker World

The design uses the 030 Micro DC Motor, the AAA Battery Terminal Kit and 3pcs of the 3x8mm self tapping screws from the Maker's Beginner Kit.

 

Printed and fit for A1 mini, no AMS needed, all parts fit on one plate.

try using more walls(at least 3) and triangle infill. more walls to stop the leak. triangle infill to isolate the leak to a small area if it does leak.
