3D Printed RC Boat with JET PROPULSION

  • In today's video I 3D printed a radio controlled boat with a jet propulsion system. Instead of a propeller behind the boat, the jet system works just like a jet ski, by a propeller integrated inside the boat moving the water in and out pushing it forward. Not only the hull of the boat is 3D printed, but the propeller, motor mount, servo holder, battery tray and even the coupler! The brushless motor was from a RC car and with a 3 cell LiPo it was too powerful. I hope you will enjoy the video!

      You can print it in parts( need software to cut) so you can have a few hour chunks .. but then you need to glue them . whatever foats ………. your boat ;)

    A friendly suggestion on the coupler and that is do not print it like a tower but instead on its side. All of my couplers failed at a seam line due to twisting forces but if the layers are perpendicular to the twisting force it can't twist off. I would give that a try. I hope that helps.

    Simon, your videography (recording and post-processing) keeps improving. From taking the servo mount off the F360 screen, to your perspective face shots, to the drone footage with helicopter sound effect, the whole video was fantastic.
    Oh, and the RC boat design, 3D print, integration, build and test were incredible, as well!
    Have an awesome day!

    That boat turned out great! I suspect you already thought of this, but wish there were a way to use 2 equal sized 2S packs in series for a more balanced boat, but other than that...WOW it was so cool!

  • @johnboleyjr.1698
    @johnboleyjr.1698 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Awesome build. The first thought I have for the coupler between the shafts is some kind of aquarium tubing, the air line tubing or something like it. This would not only connect the two shafts together, but would provide a bit of shock absorption, and vibration dampening for the motor.

    For a smaller printer, you could print the bow area as a hollow sealed unit with locating pins and matching indentations in the aft section.
    That way both halves should line up perfectly and give flotation without any weakness.

  • @zincyellowmach1523
    @zincyellowmach1523 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Awesome videos! Back in the day we used a small box full of grease right before the shaft exits the hull, the tube leads to the box of grease and the share rides through it to the motor. Water can not pass the grease. Thought that might help in the future, thanks for the good videos!

  • @QuebecoisSti

    Awesome boat! To be racing ready you should get a metal propeller, metal coupler, put bearing to hold the shaft, use a metal (or only plate in between your plastic one) motor support (may melt otherwise). Some watercooled for motor and ESC would make it holding the power overtime

    Really nice job there, you can buy a universal joint coupling with changeable fitting on both ends fairly cheaply, this will also help with reducing friction from miss-alignment between motor and shaft that you get from a solid coupling, i am amazed the 3d printed prop held together, well done.

    Technically it's just a normal boat with a propeller partially inside and not a real jet boat. I think if you get an aluminum coupling and propeller you will not be bottlenecked by the 3D printing. Because of the fact that it's not a traditional jet boat I think you will also find the propeller pushing air instead of water when you go higher speeds. Absolutely loved the video as always.

    A really simple yet effective coupler is nothing more than a piece of fuel tubing. I bought a brass coupling, but then had to make up a TPU bush to allow the allen screws to nip the shaft without rocking off the shaft - the shaft is polished stainless-steel. Tubing is best from what I can tell.

    For the shafts connections try using the metal pieces inside those couplers for AC cables which you tighten with screws (I dont know if I made myself clear). Its cheap and easy to find, the only problem is that you will have to sand down to the same radius one of the shaft or you will suffer huge vibrations
