- LOL made you click.... Well, technically it is free as the files to make one yourself are on thingiverse! :D
Hey guys! Today I've got a Hovercraft! this thing is entirely 3D printed (the hull and frame) The design is a fairly simple one which can be printed in about 24hrs depending on your printer and settings, the pieces are no larger than 200mm X 200mm x 200mm so most pursia style printers should be able to fit the parts.
The parts are up here on Thingiverse - STL Files:

I freaking love hovercrafts. If you're printing with ABS, try gluing the parts together with ABS cement. I've had pretty good luck with it.
William Osman
Better yet, ABS weld with acetone
great points! yep I tried fusing some abs together with acetone and Its amazing, the parts broke elsewhere than the joint. The hovercraft is PLA unfortunately so i'll have to try other glues!
printing it right now in ABS :D
sven forstner I print in PLA and use CA and kicker to bond my parts... works great!
@@svenforstner8155 did your room smell as bad as the legends say? I've only ever printed in PLA lol.
Instructions unclear, banana got caught in proppellor...
Hello was iT me your looking voor
matthijs jordense in
Matthijs, the banana is for scale mate ;)
the comment is a joke mate ;)
damn, i hate it when that happens
big fan keep up the good and smart work
Curtis Modz aaaaaaaahhhhhh I see what you did there.
james kenneth LOL
Curtis Modz You won't believe who's awesome
Read the first word

You have probably THE best videos on youtube, keep up the good work Peter!
true
Ha, thanks man! I'm not sure they're the best, probaby top 90% would be ok though! :D
,in a couple of months we'll be bigger than FliteTest
Peter Sripol - Making RC builds look easy
hahaha, its not so bad once you've done the same thing over and over a thousand times! :D
It's not that hard, you don't need to be a Peter to do it
"It needs some adjustments"
"it broke in half"
Looks like fun!
definitely! they're a challenge to shoot some of the stuff with just two people on hand but with multiple takes it eventually happens!
It is 😀
Cool projects + videos not split for redesigns + straightforwardness
=
Best youtuber ever
The swede told me to go 0 infill and thicker shell... I'll never go back... ;)
If David says so! I'll try it :D
I personally prefer thin walls separated by a few mm and 30% infill. I feel this acts like an I-beam for a stong and lightweight structure. Also easier to glue pieces together :)
Norge er bedre enn sverige. :)
These are literally 3 of my favorite TH-camrs what the hell
Whoa
Best construction montages out there. Seriously. A tight entertaining edit that retains narrative and construction techniques. Good stuff
I just finished my first ever hovercraft ,a foamboard quickbuild which was your design, and it works very well (duhh). Now my hands are itchin to build an outdoor hoverracer! Thanks Peter!
the part with the firecrackers was epic!
That thing is just awesome, great work! I can't stop thinking about how perfect that creek looks in terms of fly fishing though when I watch your clips! :)
This channel is so underrated, other youtubers would normally split this into 3 videos for more views, Hovercraft 1.0, Hovercraft 2.0, Blowing up rc car. But you combined them into one, this is what i love about this channel, Keep up the good work.
It very rare to see a youtuber like you I liked all vids and I'm big fan KEEP IT UP!👏🏻👌🏻👍🏻😊
I searched for a good diy channel with fun projects. Keep it up!
Awesome video. Love the builds and how they work. Keep it up Peter, your kickin ass at rc projects. Thanks for sharing.
Mate the cinematic scene between the hovercraft and the RC car was awesome. If you could do more of those that would be awesome. Keep up the good work, and awesome creations.
that outtro gets me every time, and love the things u create. :D
Damn good editing
WOW! Such a great build. Awesome action clip. Cinematography and choreography all good.
Have you heard of 3D printing Friction welding? It's when you put a piece of filament in your dremel and pull it towards you over a crack in your print or to stick things together, the filament melts and the spinning carves a channel in the print to fill with melted filament... Pretty cool if you ask me?
I have to try this. Sounds like an excellent way to joint parts if you get it to work.
I've seen it and it looks intresting! I'll try and give it a go sometime in the near future!
Sam Kelly
friction welding is good only takes a little time on bag parts as you can only put a small bit in at a time loctite universal super glue works great for pla its also waterproof and bonds in seconds
You honestly deserve millions of subs! You're so smart and creative 👍🏻
Cool I've always wanted to build a hovercraft ever since You made one on flite test
I love your stuff! Keep it coming! I really enjoy the variety.
Awesome and very amusing video! loved it!
Peter, this is great, having built the hovercraft you designed while at FliteTest, this must me a great step up! Can't wait to see what you do next!
Love that you cadded and 3D printed it. Well done. Enjoyed the short chase scene
Awesome... I made one years ago out of Balsa and foam with a ripstop skirt.. Having a separate control for the lift motor is a must.. it works way better that way.. I used a Brushed motor for the lift motor hooked up to a relay that plugged into the receiver then I could just flip a switch if I got in trouble and it would drop to the ground.
I remember your first one on flite test . This one,well the second one turned out great. Keep up the good work Peter. You have a bright future ahead of you,just keep going . I am sure you have your struggles but that's OK, part of life is moving past them. I always look forward to your next adventure.
Definitely looking forward to a mock II!😜
your part intros become more How To Basic every video and i love it
The Roman candle & bottle rocket ordinance were excellent! Especially used between and around the real cars.
That chase scene was awesome! You should make a full video like that!
I built one of these out of foam board and it works great! I got inspiration from your work at FT.
I love how you show the mistakes. Unlike most utubers. I love your channel. Your the best.
I like watching your projects, it reminds me of what flite test was like before they became all about the store
Great video man, been looking forward to this video. Keep up the great work.
Great job Peter this is way better then my cheerios box hovercraft lol 😂 going to give this a print! 👍😎
love your video's man, I'm new but I have already watched all your videos, and I always look forward to new ones!
make more videos about hovercrafts! Pls. Its very intersting vechicles
This guy has got true Talent and skills!
Great project!
Thanks a lot for your design and effort!
From my 3d printing experience both PLA and ABS are very well glued (technically checmically welded) by
- Dichloreethane (very aggressive to plastic, strongest bond but toxic as well). Use it to glue 3dprinted planes.
- Ethylacetate (less aggressive and much less toxic)
Holy Shit.. your designs and builds on flitetest were always the best/super creative.. your video production is ON ANOTHER LEVEL! Your channel will be #1 rc in no time
Holy ... that rc car vs hovercraft footage was amazing
For skirt material, try a $2-3 dacron stuff sack sold in walmart's backpacking isle. Most of the issues you're having seem to stem from your choice of skirt design. I'd recommend looking up "jetted skirt". That's the one I got the best performance out of back when I made an RC hovercraft. (I also tried a bag skirt, constrained bag skirt, and interlinked finger skirt.)
Dude these things you create cease to amaze me. Keep it up
Never* cease
Loved the fight between the vehicles. As a boy I dreamed of building with some friends two RC ships that can not only swim but actually sink each other and then conducting a RC-scale naval battle.
Cool slow motion and battle shots
The nacelle could be pointed down towards the centre of gravity to encourage a nose up attitude under power, and/or set behind the chassis and little lower (maybe two smaller diameter nacelles).
Hey love the videos, and also you can use an auxiliary channel with a three position switch on the lift motor so you can keep it hovering without going forward.
That was my favorite project done by you mr peter sirpol
Awesome little project there. I hope to get a 3d printer some day and make sweet stuff!
Hi Peter,..very well done and a really good instruction for others to build one, too!
Hovercrafting is big fun and as you already noticed,..weight is everything!
Thanks a lot for sharing!! 😇👍
Holger from Subwaterfilm
Wow you are so creative and smart I've been subbed for a while and your videos are always great
its probably been said but with the skirt if you pleat it with ducts around the edges to allow an air curtain your lift will be greater and more controlled. another variant is instead of one large vent in the middle of the belly move it forward one third of the hull to help with the thrust pitching the nose down into the water as you wont have as much lift under the thrust motor
YES!!! 3d printing finally! Right now im printing a shoretrooper helmet on my MP mini
I have built a couple real hovercraft and will have to try my hand at a remote control version.. maybe use your design as a starting point. Since hovercraft are near and dear to me and you did a very interesting well made video i have to give it all the likes I can great job!
Nicely executed action sequence.
Damn Peter your video editing skills are getting good!
I love your videos! They make me happy.
Happy Alentines Ay. For those of you wondering why I didn't include the V or D its because none of us got one.
INCREDIBLE
Keep up the battles. It's really unique
It's been 1 day since the last peter stripol vid was uploaded I'm already craving more
Awesome work! Love your innovation.
I see a new name on that table ;-) Awesome build!
Love the editing!
use inner tube material for the hovercraft with thick plastic bag as an outer layer to keep it kind of slick.
Thank you very much, for the Hovercraft. Great work
This is just awesomeness!
Best build this week ;) Keep it up.
Holy crap. That video was pure fun! Editing is great. Good detail. Love the chase part. Air soft rc fighter upcoming?
Your vids are awesome Peter...the hovercraft is an awesome idea..been hoping you would build another one ever since I seen the one you built when you were at flight test..I'm thinking about building one like that since I don't have a 3d printer..
very cool, the only suggestion is to treat it like a boat n make a water tight box or maybe some kind of baffle under skirt to keep water from easily getting to electronics upon lifting off of throttle.
Awesome videos, keep up the good work. You earned a sub :). Watched a ton of your videos
Hi Peter, I built my hovercraft out 1\2" pink foam, I used a 1 100kv w a 10" prop for hover and a 2 200kv w 6" ( park jet) for thrust. I put the hover motor on the gear switch and set it for around 35% and rudder on aeleron, works great but on water not as much, the skirt which is slightly different than yours but basicly the same collects water and is then bogged down. Full size overcome this problem by basically being a boat hull with the air vents placed at the top outside edgs so even if therss no power it floats with the vents above the water line. heres a link
Hello Peter! Realy greate Job. I Love this hovercraft and the Video )))
Love those little movie things!
The idea way to set up the lift motor on one of these is with a radio that's got a fully proportional knob for a channel. I just moved into a Futaba 6J and its sixth channel is on such a knob, so I'd use Ch6 for the lift fan on mine.
I'd probably also use a car ESC instead of a plane ESC to control the thrust fan, mostly, so I can get reverse out of it. Also, car ESCs are often already waterproofed right out of the box, which is seldom if ever the case with plane ESCs.
i use a broken quad to make my hover craft. i had to do 3 ver. of it to get it right. but unlike mine, yours is biger and has more power
I love those cinematics....
cool hover u should make the bag come out a bit of the hover so it can give more stability of the vehicle or a bit more bigger one to make it higer and a bit more big to the front/back and sides and add like a tiny hover in the front to make it more stable in the water
that's awesome Peter!
the turning nosedive is a problem with full size ones too. you need to vent a little extra air out the front corner while turning.
if you had a 6 ch controller you could tie the lift motor to the gear/flap switch and control the motor speed with the trim settings.
Maybe throw the lift motor to a switch for constant on and mix dual rate to the throttle for when your moving faster? Then youd have the brake feature via kill switch as well
Loved the "action video"!
Finally a vid I love these
just an idea for skirt material, the lining you put down to make ponds is thicker then trashbags, yet still pretty thin, and very strong. rather then glue, you might be able to heat fuse the seams. I'm not looking to make one, just using my grey matter
Idea for a better skirt: use the material you find in the higher end air matresses. It is very cut resistant, and although the weight is higher, it might be worth it.
Just found your channel ! Love it .
hey just a heads up instead of a prop for you lift use a 3D printed centrifugal impeller this will give you a more stable air cushion. then instead of rudders for directional control move the whole duct for thrust vectoring.
Awesome great work 👍 keep up the great videos
big fan keep up the good and smart work THE BESTE BRO
awesome !
Peter picks something relatable, so the viewers can understand what driving the hovercraft is like.
"it's kinda like driving a jet-ski" - V. relatable...
you for sure need a separate throttle for the lift motor, one you can dial to the speed you want and then leave it alone and just focus on driving it with the other throttle and rudders. like a real hovercraft.
or you could just have an on/of switch through a speed control for the skirt motor separately.
On water skimming: make the skirt just larger slightly at the front and the craft should angle up alternatively play with weight distribution and rear fan elevation and you might get the same effect.
exellent point! that's one of the things i'll mention in the build/construction part!
PeterSripol you learn a few things growing up near the world's last commercial hovercraft transport system ;-)
Another excellent video Peter, I can't believe you're at 110k subs already! Last time I checked you were at 11k haha.
Have you considered running the bottom facing motor on a 3 way switch? It wouldn't be hard to map the motor to an auxillary switch so you can just flick it on and the bag remains inflated so you can control speed/turning.
