Mini 3D Printed Hovercraft

- 3D printing isn't just about prototyping, it can also be used to produce unique parts that couldn't be manufactured 'easily' by any other method. As far as I am aware (correct me if I am wrong), the hollow ducts of this hovercraft frame couldn't be manufactured in ONE piece using any other manufacturing technique.
3D printer STL files will be coming next week!! I want to improve on the skirt type and a few various other things before releasing the stl files. The stl files will be available to all of my Patreon supporters. However, if you don't wish to support me via Patreon, I've started uploading my stl files to Gumroad: gumroad.com/tomstanton

I tried making an rc hovercraft way back by repurposing cheap rc car parts and a cardboard frame. Not quite powerful enough. Now that I've got a so far unused 3d printer sitting on a shelf I might give this another try. Great video.
Using starlite filament? :D
use a garbage bag or something dont use starlite filament its to thick

William Osman Yep, it is a lot of bees
Your design is so perfect! Everything just fits and it makes me so happy. Can you do a video in the future where you show us your workflow when designing something like this?
Just from an industrial design point of view only that model is truly an elegant design. The integrated servo mount and wire channels are a step above! Well done sir.
Absolutely brilliant!!
Oh, very nice! Looking forward to trying this one out! Thanks Tom!
Probably nothing you haven't heard before - amazing design, great print, great idea and amazing execution - 10/10 - simply awesome!
Your projects never disappoint. Love the research you put in and explain to us. Nice job Tom!
Dual rudder for sure- Your hovercraft is working perfectly if it is hard to control (that was an interesting rudder hack and yes throttle=steering)! As a long time hovercraft enthusiast it takes practice and some nerve to pilot and even with many years experience things can get dicey ;)
your so dumb he fixed the problem
@@Curttygaming Actually read the comment
You could make a 3 rudder design where the middle rudder pivots and the outer two rudders are simply attached to the middle rudder and set backwards a bit making a diamond formation which will allow full range of rotation your original single rudder has.
Super impressive Tom. Love how you go through the troubleshooting throughout the video and you also take the time to add some graphics (turbulence, air vectors, etc)... keep it up!
That servo and motor mount using one bolt is a truly beautiful thing! An engenius design! I love it!
Tom Stanton uploads a video... day improved
9001% -- thats over 9000!
It´s true, isn´t it? Tom offers a unique type of "thinking man´s" flight-based RC vid, well laced with 3D printing and leavened with plenty of concise yet thorough explanations.
It was his superb video on vortex generators (on a VTOL) that got me hooked on his channel and I´ve had my day improved by each and every video he´s posted ever since.
could not agree more!
You can tell that Tom carefully researches a good proportion of the theory behind his projects.
I agree
There are few things more satisfying to watch than a bin bag skirt hovercraft rise up from the ground the first time you tried it out. I even clapped a little bit I think :) Well done mate!
I love how you approach everything as an engineer! Congrats! Keep it up!
Your videos are so well made. Your explanation is not only informative but preemptively assumes all arguments.
Looks great! I hope you try version 2 over water :)
I watch many RC plane channels and multi rotor channels and yours is right at the top of my list. You and FliteTest are the best. Keep up the great work you are doing.
David Bischof
Flite Test dropped significantly on my list when they lost the European. I really enjoyed his stuff
TissuePaper the Swedish guy? yeah I miss him
I hope you have PeterSripol on your list also.
Peter siprol too
I love the detailed explanations of your design features and decisions. You really do an excellent job. I wish I could like it more than once!!
This is an absolute brilliant design! Thanks for sharing!
for extensive tail rudder testing, you might want to make a removable base for the rudder. then, when you want to introduce pivot points or whatever, you simply print a new rudder base instead of the whole chasis
Awesome, brave enough to give it a go on water?
Colin Hickey He needs to waterproof the electronics
HB You mean spray them with two coats of the spray-on polyurethane he almost absolutely has in his workshop?
TissuePaper that is still waterproofing it.
Appreciate he would need some water proofing, kind of a given.
I would've loved to give this a go, not on water but at the moment the loch near where I live has iced over. Would be fantastic to see it out on that.
There are a number of 3d printed hovercraft, but this one is far superior in terms of design and elegance! Great work!
Great job Tom, every time I watch one of your videos It makes me want to improve upon my own rc projects just that much more! Very nice build.
Dat cable management... I wish I could be bothered to design those into my designs :P.
Paint it BLACK, paint tentacles on it and christen it
H.P. HOVERCRAFT
Really reaching for that one. Honestly you couldn't fit hentai into the reference as well?
Love you 😘♥️💜❤️💜❤️❤️❤️♥️♥️❤️❤️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️❤️ Ling 😘😘❤️♥️
Hey man fuck that guy!!! I love the lovecraft reference!! Jeeze didnt his mamma teach him anything?? If ya aint got nothing nice to say.......shut the fuck up ya little puke!! Hehe
What are these three comments?
@@alanmarhic6813 late to the show broski?
Very good, Tom! Your modified rudder WAS a big improvement! Dual rudders would be great but that's a major alteration so I think you did a very good job. Having a 3d printer definitely helps too!! Thanks man!
This is your best video yet. Some really nice design features. I especially like how the fan and servo mount on a single bolt.
Damn, i like it
Nice, 69 likes.
Short skirts don’t just look good on the ladies Tom they give much more stability to hovercrafts 😜
Neat build! It looks like it goes pretty well. Thanks for sharing!
Yeeesss! I'm so going to print that!! Great design too Tom!!!
The tilt to port (12:30) is compounded by engine torque. Also, at 15:45 you need to consider rudder stall.
18:07 Great toy!
Just made mine. Love it. I found a 70mm EDF on Thingyverse which i scaled to 7mm on the Z and 75mm on X and Y. Works great! Cheers Tom. Great design!
Clever design! Nice iterations & great result!
Nice, great job, I like it 😊😀😊
Someone's been watching Ivan Miranda haha. You two should collaborate sometime in the future.
Tom, one of my favorite projects so far.
Wow, that's some nice engineering done there. Love it
That’s well cool
Cool!
Its super cool that Peter Sripol is a Patreon supporter of yours, showing support for the DIY community, awesome.
ikr
Absolutely brilliant and very nicely constructed!
I reckon the HQ 6 bladed prop would be nice if cut down to fit.
You could add a heading hold heli gyro!
this is soo satisfying when putting the peaces together... SATISFACTION!!
Another well thought out design. I always enjoy your work. Thanks for sharing.
the motor/propeller housing looks like the pnp/npn type transistor symbol from a circuit diagram :-P
I thinc yu'er mom gay
Lol

Something tells me that sometime in the future, you will be flying around England in an ultralight of your own design/construction...
Very impressive Sir. I was wowed at how you thought of mounting the servo and turbine together.
This is a realy great build. Im as impressed by the simplicity as much as its strangeness. The whole thing runs on a single motor and a servo. Toy companies would kill for such a cheep build.
Mix your rudder and throttle to compensate for prop torque. You also could have mounted the entire fan on a servo for steering.Nice build!
Robert Lunsford yeh i like the idea of mounting the fan as a rudder as well great idea
Turning the whole fan would make it pretty complicated to design the air intake for the skirt... On a Hovercraft with a seperate propeller for the skirts it would work fine I guess...
or just turn the duct itself
Jusb1066 But then you lose the thrust advantage of a ducted fan.
The major problem with turning the hole fan would be the rotational forces generated from rotating a spinning object. Anyone play with a top before?
Hey, was just thinking why not tripple aerofoils on the rear, you could keep the servo in it's current position, and link the outer foils...just a thought! Great video, enjoy your channel!
Richard McDonnell Double rudders would be pretty easy, just need to drill two holes for pivots, and use the servo horns to connect linkages
I do so enjoy your videos and the explanations you give for the various decisions you make. Keep up the great work.
That's some impressive engineering on the chassis, good job man! Especially with how simple assembly is!
Is there any place you sell or give out the files for the 3D prints? I love it!
I don't have it so I'm not sure, but I think on his patreon!
nice project i like it !!
what do you think about en electric longboard !! after the electriv Bike V3 i think a an electric longboard could be your next project !!
Myster Orel nah there are too many people that have done that already
DerpyDoom yeah I know that and i have also watch many of them ! But Tom made his project in a diffrent way and maybe he will show us something very differente !!
Myster Orel Yeah that would be great. Maybe we could have a good, easy to follow tutorial(Not saying no one else doesn't have one but toms would be the best)
Tanner Constantine yeah for sure
That's awesome, dude! Really, really nice work and design! 😀
This is legit, I'm super impressed with how well it worked on the first go around. Also was really glad to see it all in a single video, I like the multi part videos as well, but sometimes they feel cut a little too short :) Excellent work on this!
*"As far as I am aware (correct me if I am wrong), the hollow ducts of this hovercraft frame couldn't be manufactured in ONE piece using any other manufacturing technique."*
Technically you could have cast the whole thing.
I thought peter sripol did something like this.
Had me and my boy enthralled. Thank you.
Tom, each time i see you've uploaded a new video - i drop everything and watch it. you are a brilliant guy and I thank you for sharing. i am not only learning a lot from you, but i do this with a smile as well. keep up the good work. waiting for your next video s to come.
What happens if you scale it up?
It would be bigger :P
pizza_boy18 Need a bigger motor
Hmm that could be interesting... I think I have a motor that will run a 6 inch propeller (3inch propeller on this) to build a 2:1 scale replica ;)
th-cam.com/video/7XRz-CzUWPE/w-d-xo.html
A really cool idea is to scale it up for outdoor use but keep most of the design. Perhaps as long as a skateboard. Some parts would still be able to be 3D printed.
Love your videos!
Hey. tom I am from India😁😁
sub to pewdiepie
Awesome build!
Nice job Tom, congrats !
FIRST
For a ginger this guy is smart. I bet he has a soul
Sundee racist idiots like you are not needed in the Community
racist
DerpyDoom its a joke idiots
DerpyDoom I found the ginger
DerpyDoom r/whoosh
The quality of your content is far above a lot of 3d printing/rc/experimental channels I see. Keep it up!
Awesome design! Can't wait to see what's next.
Awesome! I love the rudder Innovation that worked out well
Nice one Tom, always enjoyable to watch
This Stanton does great things! long live the name!
Tom Stanton
Nice design and troubleshooting.
I really like your red and blue color scheme for 3d printing, keep up the cool stuff man
Wow! This is fantastic!
Very nice. I've ordered a 3d printer so binge watching a lot of videos to get ideas and I love this.
At first I'm going to build wired control things like cranes and maybe a digger but I'll get onto RC items at some point
I wish I was born with the brains like you. you are making good functional stuff so easilly and rapidly.
Awesome work, nicely designed!
Oh man, this video spoke to me in a way that I can't describe from my childhood.
Well done, Sir Tom!
You single handedly motivated me to buy a 3d printer. Keen to get started
Thanks Tom. Enjoy the channel :) Have purchased the files to have a play with.
Yay for design without supports! I find the challenge of designing for 3d printing absolutely amazing.
Exceptionally well done mate. A very creditable job of design, construction and the problem solving was done exquisitely. Very, very impressed, thank you for sharing, 11x👍🏻👏
That was so pleasing to watch.
yet another great project, well documented, explained and really good to watch!
Looking at the printing section I can suggest a couple changes to improve your print and reduce stringing, I also have a few CR10s:
give it a coast distance of about 0.10 - 0.20 - depending on temp.
increase retraction speed.
Awesome. Very well thought out.
Super cool and clean build
I enjoyed your super-electrolytic capacitor driven rocket video so much that I'm gonna check this one out too!
Great design, always amazed by you work,
Keep up the great videos :)
this is so cool!! keep up the good work
Looks like great fun to operate.
You can use triple rudder, with linkages to main rudder. Or you can do dual rudder if you leave the servo where it is and link to two rudders, as if there was a middle rudder on it.
You are a genius man! Bravo.
can't wait for v2!!! ... I think i'm going to make one of these when you work out the kinks :) thank you
brilliant, nice work
First video I see from U . Very smart and realistic the way you analyze the problems. I did a hovercrafts and most of the issues I had you mention then and fixed them properly. Very clever. I mean I've seen aerospace engineers attacking the problems like amateurs. Pretty good video
