Maker's Speed Boat

My contribution to the Maker's Beginner Kit Contest!

Updated: Watertight hull and options for propeller hole diameter (as some struggled to make it fit)

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.

Assembly guide

1. Remove the supports.

2. Glue the small rectangular piece to the top.

3. Mount the AAA Battery Terminals and the 030 Micro DC Motor, and neatly pack the wires to the area behind the motor.

Please notice their position, important for the ON/OFF switch to work.

Please notice that the polarity should be in REVERSE, PLUS to MINUS on the Motor, or else boat will go backwards.

4. Push the propeller against the Motor axle.

Please notice that it will require some force, and if you still don't get it to fit there are optional propellers to choose from with bigger holes in the print profile (standard is 1.7mm hole)

5. Put the ON/OFF switch through the hole in the top part, notice the rotation of the switch.

6. Mount batteries, then put the top part on the bottom part, and align the ON/OFF switch to the battery to turn off motor.

7. Use 3pcs of 3x8mm self tapping screws to screw the top and bottom part together, using a HEX 2.0 screwdriver.

8. Enjoy!
