My newest design is this Mini RC Boat. It only measures 6cm x 4cm x 2.5cm and can all be printed within 45 minutes! It uses electronics that can be found in cheap RC helicopters. This model was designed to be printed in vase mode/spiraling outer contour mode. This design reduces leakage, reduces imperfections that could hinder performance, and the boat can remain quick to print and light weight.

Directions and Recommendations:

• ATTENTION: Print in VASE MODE/SPIRALING OUTER CONTOUR MODE. This worked perfectly for my Lulzbot Mini using a stock 0.5mm nozzle. You may need to change nozzle width
• Make sure you get the motors and propellers on the correct sides (watch Peter Sripol's blimp video it shows you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDiqHm9TqMg)
• Cut down small drone props for the propellers
• Look at the pictures above for guidance on the proper printing orientation
• Hot glue the motors and electronics to Part 1
• Turn on the module before sealing the hull with tape
• Use tape to tape the 2 parts together seamlessly
• You may need to add some weight to the inside of the tip of the boat depending on the weight of the electronics, or your print settings
• When the boat needs to be charged, you must untape the 2 sides. Then, retape them when you want to use it again
• Most small and cheap RC helicopters should do the job, but I specifically used one called the Air Victor (https://www.amazon.com/Remote-Control-Helicopter-Blue-Camo/dp/B017KNN0RO)
