FREE 3D printed RC hovercraft

and stop it oh come on let's blow aircraft [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] Oh right [Music] [Music] Oh [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] Oh [Music] [Music] [Music] you you hmm you good [Music] [Music] [Music] things pretty cool I'm kind of impressed with how heavy it is and how well it hovers it's just a little throttle I guess and wrap up this pre-beta build okay it's kind of cold I don't like this bag we bought battery I don't have a rudder Authority we go through the globalization and a broke-ass only hot food it's only hot glued on there actually does it foxy so I guess also dress this because this is okay for a first go but you need to adjust this like for real we broke in half well I was pretty awful well for the most part it actually did work okay for as heavy as it turned out this print was actually printed way too heavy for my first initial to print it was printed at 20% infill and I really wanted to try it at 10% because there's too much plastic in here kind of series mixes too heavy another thing too is the epoxy that kind of used to hold this thing together probably wasn't the best choice it kind of did split and break here and I think I'm going to dress that for version number two another thing was uh there was not enough steering Authority to see a rudder itself there's only just a single rudder on it right now I think I want to go to two twin rudder design and also the duct on the rear of it the thrust mode or whatever the servo is like terribly placed in there that's pretty awful position for the servo and a canopy is too small so I also been doing measurements there so that needs to be fixed as well and well I think it's kind of little hovercraft number two [Music] you you you you [Music] you [Music] yeah our crab that was pretty fun so for the most part though aircraft actually works pretty well maybe we have to say it's probably like am probably a 7.5 510 for my first like on 3d printed hovercraft thing 3d printing so kinda need to be so I'm still kind of learning the ropes of this stuff as I go along and also count 3d catting as well so this is kind of two things lower ones for me so as far as autograph goes the SQL files will be released check them shortly in the video if they're not released immediately they'll be on Thingiverse or something like that and so quick tips before you guys print it out and build your own make sure you print a 10% and still for the micelles and the actual whole hovercraft I printed out at 8.8% until MSM and that's on the kira as far as the power system goes these are just a 2808 point 1zz and these are now 2204 2300 k z-e max motors you can find any sort of quadcopter motors they'll all kind of work the same I started the first one also the smaller 18:06 motor but I decided to go to these other ones just because the bolt pattern is the same for all these so I danced and modified the existing in itself and plus these lures are super cheap E and finally just about anywhere drive this thing on water is the kind of another challenge too I really don't recommend this specific one or lease in this specific throttle setup because right now vo lifts motors tied into the throttle motor just to kind of make it really easy for someone who's never grown driven hovercraft to drive this thing around so you simply jab throttle it would look the thing up and turn around and it was bit kind of mixing all the tools in one especially we got in trouble you just pull it all off and all things skirt come screaming to the stop why the problem with that is it would kind of tear your skirt up and it's during water you definitely could not do that and another thing too is a I flip this in quite a bit trying to drive on water the problem was I would advance the throttles more to kind of get a look around kick more air under there it kind of lifts the scare up higher off the water but problem is this is also increased in speed as a back motor kind of shoving the hovercraft forward and if you got any water over the front of it it would start to come under and roll over I highly recommend you guys waterproof your hovercraft I recommend taking the end of the ECS blowing and full of epoxy just kind of make sure they're actually waterproof and spraying the receiver with corrosion action also the just a light a very very light gasm on the bottom of the bearings of the motors if you've got really cheap ones that are prone to rusting I also watch with my servo because eventually that thing kind of stopped working too because this thing sent quite a bit crap you don't know big garages I'll do something yeah voices ah those were the all the holes I'm looking at it driving the hovercraft is pretty easy it's really kind of like driving a jet ski where if you try to coast with the jet ski with the throttle off you really can't turn you really need be jabbing the power right as you add a rudder command it gets things kind of slip around it's like yeah it's kind of driving a jet ski on like water or driving a car on ice but as soon as well as well the car comes to bleep stop unlike ice which you continue to slide and then problem crash the skirt materials release it's a trash bag I would probably look into something a little more durable maybe like ripstop nylon however there are some weight talents is that I still have any on hand to try out with maybe even try some more heavy-duty trash bags perhaps but this is all kind of took a general thing you want kind of go at home as long as you got some general RC experience some time to tinker a 3d printer and you want a little hovercraft because I guess is kind of required to this well I guess Russ with this video uh definitely let me know what you guys think of this in the comments below mid what they're substances good words bad or whatever you want to see improvements to then yes the STL files are free like I mentioned earlier so check them out below and be sure to LIKE subscribe or do the UN card says click that little Bell thing to value you can become part of the notification squad when this thing up when I let up the new videos for this thing cuz I got some really cool stuff come up next week I might try to throw this building real real soon maybe in the next few days or either than a week because that's something really cool come up next week but more on that later and I will see you guys later [Music]
