3D Printed Motorized Boat

I designed this motorized boat awhile back on Tinkercad.

Step 1: Supplies I Used

• Motor
• AA battery
• wires
• contact battery spring
• o ring
• sealer
• screws
• 3d printed parts

Step 2: Tools I Used

• 3D printer

Step 3: Design

I designed this boat in Tinkercad. I started my design by lining up 3 cylinders. Added wedge to help it cut through the water. I designed a case for the motor and the inserted into the boat. I made a spinner by inserting a rotated rectangle into a cylinder flipping it then adding a hole to put it onto the motor. I uploaded a AA battery holder from thingiverse http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:331394. I cut off the screw holes so that it would fit well in the boat.

Step 4: Assembling

1. Insert motor
2. bring wires out the hole
3. Insert cover
4. Put sealer around cover
5. Screw in cover
6. put o ring onto motor
7. Put spinner onto motor
8. add contacts to battery holder
9. Insert battery holder
10. Connect wires to battery holder
11. insert battery

this made me smile. I might make one to excite my nephew and niece about building things. Great job!
