Your best build yet! This boat has been made many times in TH-cam but I would rate yours as either 1st or 2nd best! Great job, enjoy it!
wow thanks! Appreciate it! I'll have to do some searching for the others.
You did a really good job man.. 👏 I'm starting to build rc boats now. First ones out of wood.
Best of luck with it... I'd love to try a wood one someday.
This boat is incredible! Great job!
Thank you! All props to the designer Printfully3D :)
another great build video, that is the big boat
Thanks! Yeah this one is the heaviest one by far.
Can I ask what KV motor you used on 3S. Do you sell the decal sheet? (I could not see this FOSS boat on your website. Thanks.
Too cool, nice job!
Thanks Jim! It was a fun build. Glad it turned out well.
Amazing!
Thanks for watching!
what engine did you use, how much hv. I installed 6s 1400kV and there was an air bubble in the propeller and the boat did not gain speed.
What software you use to design that I struggle with rounding objects smoothly, I can easily make square body vehicles like pick up trucks or hummers but struggling with my boat
I'm not much of a designer myself, I mostly print other peoples designs. But when I need to design something, I usually use Fusion 360
Very nice
🔵🔵🔵👍👍👍😀😀😀🔵🔵🔵
Thanks man! 😄
Awesome build! getting into these builds thanks to your videos. About the decals, they are a nice touch, did you make and print them on your own? Do you have a tutorial on that if that is something you do or perhaps something to look into as a future video idea. Keep up the awesome work!
Thanks for kudos and the video idea... yeah the decals make it looks a lot more finished for sure. I don't have a video on it but I just search the net for some pics to borrow and then print them out on a regular inkjet printer with clear waterslide decal paper as long as the project is a light color and the decals will look good without white (since you can't easily print white). You can get white decal paper as well if you need white but then you don't get see-through parts and you have to trim perfectly. I think the other options are solid colored decals cut out on something like a cricut or getting them printed at a printing shop but I haven't tried those options yet.
@@rcprinter awesome! Thanks for that breakdown. Really helpful. I’ll give it a shot with the printer, and may also try my hand with the wife’s cricut. Again all the best to the channel.
Looks good mate but I'm not sure I'd trust some glue to hold it together.
Hello, do you recommand to print it in PLA ? I hate PETG otherwise I prefer ABS but it cost more. Thanks
yup I printed mine in PLA
That one works well 🙂
Yeah she's a good one. Bit on the heavy side though. Weighing in at ~3kg without a battery!
@@rcprinter That's quite weighty.
Hi friend, can you share the electronic configuration you used on this boat?
can i ask waht kind of paint u used for green ? thanks , great job , im just finished printing
I think it was this one... www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/rust-oleum-painter-s-touch-2x-ultra-cover-multi-purpose-aerosol-spray-paint-primer-gloss-340-g-0482308p.0482471.html?colorCode=PAINT_PREMIXED_COLOUR_Keylime
@@rcprinter thanks man , what a great build , not a fan of the motor mount but will see how she does
what is the gray stuff that you put in 4:40 around the boat connection ?
wood filler :)
Nice build. What material did you use? Pla? Petg? What is the spray that you used? Is it glue? So you added the colour without grounding. Right?
PLA. The spray is an activator for the CA glue I was using. I added the color coat after filling, sanding and a very light coat of primer.
excellent build! your craftsmanship and attention to detail makes all the models look so good! what machine do you use to design and print those decals?
Thanks! Those decals are all just printed out on an inkjet printer with clear waterslide decals paper.
Im curious if the steps in that hull model are functioning properly. The weight has to be precise for those steps to function and be beneficial and I'm thinking based on the way your hull is displacing water right before it reaches plane , the steps are too low in the water to properly ventilate. I'd be curious if this model would actually see performance increase by removing the steps and keeping the plane surface linear all the way to the stern. I could be incorrect in my observation as it also seems like the hull is underpowered so your are not reaching enough speed to generate air compression with tunnel sufficient enough to lift the hull. This could be the reason the steps are not ventilating, at higher speeds the hull will lift and the steps will be further out of the water allowing them to ventilate.
Thanks for the tips, I'll do some more work on it next year.
In printfullys recommended printer settings it gives a lot of range like 25%-100% infill but doesn't specify for what parts, and 4-8 top and bottom layers. I printed 2 perimeters, 4 top and bottom layers, 25% infill with gyroid. Mk3s+ with prusaslicer. I printed a few of the hulls and they seem really heavy. What were your settings for the prints?
I ask myself the same question, were you able to finish the construction of the boat? Thanks
@@sebgln I completed the printing part with 2 perimeters, 4 top and bottom layers, 25% infill with gyroid in prusaslicer for all printed parts. Still waiting on some stuff from amazon and AliExpress to complete the build.
@@snider_rc Oh oh, which motor do you have choose ? Thanks for your feedback.
I had almost the same settings but 3 walls. I also used 6 top/bottom layers at a .4mm nozzle and .2 layer height. 3 walls makes many of the parts solid (good) but also makes it heavier (bad).
What is the extrusion width in tue manual ? It's recommand to have 0.48 but normaly it's 0.4 for 0.4 nozzle ? Thanks
What size bed was it printed on or what printer? I was thinking about printing it but other boats I have found are too large for my print bed...
I printed this on my prusa mk3s but I believe all pieces will fit on a 220x220 like an ender 3 according to the designer.
Nice boat! just wanna ask if you use any grease on the shaft ?
Yeah you can see at the 11:20 mark I added superlube before installing the shaft.
Did you use a positive or negative shaft?
Hey that's a great question. I used positive for ccw shaft rotation when viewed from stern.
Thanks mate.
Hi, thanks for all of your videos! I want this boat !!! :D
I have never built any RC model.
Could you tell me what can be the cost of non printed parts plz? Have you planned to sell a kit on your website for this boat?
Thanks
Hi, sorry we don't have kits for this one. I'd like to put a kit for one of the boats we did together but unsure which one to do yet. Not sure what the total cost was but you can find all the parts you need here: docs.google.com/presentation/d/1cmMr5UPkvT3B9z6sGOdP0n1sWMBbi4_BK_Ypv6_6utU/edit#slide=id.p
@@rcprinter Thank you for your answer 😀
Where do you buy the waterslide sticker from ?
amazon. the one I used is called "koala" waterslide decal paper
@@rcprinter thanks
Run the boat, fire the muscian.
Ha, noted!
Have you ever broke any of youe boats at a print or a glue line?
nope
What brand of printer was used? Will a Creality 3D printer suffice?
yup that should work. I used a prusa mk3s I think for this one.
Are you using thin, medium or thick CA for the hull glue up? Thanks.
I used this: www.amazon.ca/Best-instant-Wood-Stone-Automotive/dp/B00B4RD5ZK/ not sure what grade it is but I'd guess medium.
@@rcprinter thanks. I will try that.
What motor did you use?
Can inask where you git your transfer stickers from?
These are just water slide decals I printed out at home on my inkjet printer. You can easily buy packs off amazon. The only issue is that you can't print in white so you have to choose paper that has a white background or a clear background, this model is light colored so I went clear. Once printed you spray them with a clear acrylic to lock the color in.
@@rcprinter Cheers i appreciate it
hey in your instructions you mantioned to use 2 batteries but in the video you only use 1, can you alaborate on that please ?
Hey, there are spots for two different batteries in the hull so you could balance the weight with two 2s Lipo batteries for a total of 4S power assuming your esc and motor can handle 14.8V. In the video I just used one 3s battery for ease.
How much Kg of PLA for this boat to print?
I'm not really sure but I'd estimate maybe 1.25 kg.
Did you have to scale this model to print on the i3 mk3s ?
No it worked at 100% :)
Also, did you print in PETG ?
@@riles6 nope this is all PLA except the motor mount which I think was PETG
I think I'll have to buy a printer. except that boat is way to slow.
you can always add more power :)
Minimum printing volume?
Hmm, I'm not at a PC to check right now but IIRC it wouldn't quite fit on an Ender 3 bed but it did fit on a Prusa MK3 bed... So NOT 220x220 but YES to 250x210
Do you not epoxy your boats,
I do not. I've never needed to.
how big is your 3d printed boat
This hull is about 32" long and then the rudder hangs about 4" off the back.
C'est plus lourd. Que. L'original.
Do you print hulls for people for $$$???
I don't sorry. Maybe get a printer and print your own! Its not too hard and you don't need to design anything.
@@rcprinter so if I hot my own printer I can pull files from online and transfer them to the printer and that's all? Or is there more to it then that.. cause if it's not to hard I'll get one of them 200 dollar printers and just print the boats in sections.
@@dericklong6191 ya basically, you have to put them into a slicer program that converts the 3d model to instructions for your specific printer but it's really easy. Ender 3 or similar is fine for most boat models. This particular model though is a little too wide I think for a small printer. It fit on my Prusa MK3 build plate but not smaller.
@@rcprinter I ordered the ender 3 v2
@@dericklong6191 nice! Many people (myself included) got started with an ender 3. Enjoy it!
Where do u find the file for print it?

hello I made the boat in 3d printing did I install a thermal engine in it there is no risk that the ceiling please thank you cordially I am waiting for your return
What the actual fuck did you write
Bro your rc boat total weight
2.85 kg (6.3 lbs) with all electronics and cooling installed but no battery.
What the printer 3D printer name please
Prusa i3 MK3s
Weight?
2.85 kg (6.3 lbs) with all electronics and cooling installed but no battery.
Could you please 3D print a touring car 1:10 or at least a drift car? I would be very happy to see the video. Thanks
Good idea! I'll try to slide one in. Any recommendations on which one?
@@radiocontrolcardevelopment7329 Thanks have you seen the Veltro by Tahustvedt (Grumpy Modeler on youtube)? Its a remake of the awd mkultra chassis into a touring car... cults3d.com/en/3d-model/various/veltro-1-10-rally-touring-car-chassis
th-cam.com/video/PrIPfsE_TA0/w-d-xo.html
@@rcprinter yes this would also be a very interesting build. Even there is a front wheel drive version he designed.
That boat looks cool, but that music you added 😂. Not my taste, had to mute.
Dreadful background (music?) !
