Swamp boat

I always wanted to design and print a swamp boat.
Now it was time to realize it.

The boat consists of two parts, which are screwed together.
For sealing the whole thing is glued around the internal cable duct.

I took the motor and ESC out of my MHQ hovership, the receiver of my model car and the servo that just was lying around.

The boat has an integrated cable duct to "invisible" do all the wirering.

This Boat is also great to use with a FPV setup =)

Print Settings

Printer:

DIY RepRap

Rafts:

Yes

Supports:

Doesn't Matter

Notes:

I printed the rear and the front out of ABS and with 15% infill.
The control surfaces are printed with 20% infill.
All other parts are printed with 50% infill.

How I Designed This

I have designed the swamp boat so all cables can run the hull in a cable duct.

The ESC and the reciever are covert in the front part of the boat.
The Battery is in the rear part to ceep the center of gravity behind the middle.

Instructions

To mount the control surfaces heat a pin needle and put it in the top and bottom around 3mm from the rounded edge.
