Well done Max... 👏👏👏 Your 3d printed projects are very nice would like to see more stuff like this 😃

[@MaxImagination]

More to come! Thanks, bro! 😃🙌

[@BuildCreation]

Thats Cool fully 3D printed Boat Max! 😃

[@MaxImagination]

Thanks, bro! Have a nice weekend 😁

[@vallepukumar6564]

Great work brother 👏 You nailed it and it's my childhood memories where I build a rc boat by using thermocol and you build far better from it and looks so professional one and thanks a lot for giving tips for other creators for making their work easy and the studio lighting theme is awesome 😎

[@MaxImagination]

Thank you for your kind remarks, Kumar! I appreciate it, brother 😎

[@owengrossman1414]

You can make leakage past the shaft less likely by coating it with the petroleum jelly before installing it.

[@MaxImagination]

That is what I ended up doing. Thanks for posting this comment to remind others. Cheers.

[@ashers_workshop]

Wow! I didn't know JLCPCB MC had those mechatronics stuff, I'll definitely check it out!

[@NorthseaKoala]

Nice Boat, looks like your filament mightve gotten a bit moist too, try and dry it out should reduce all that stringing.

[@MaxImagination]

Thanks for pointing that out. I will most likely obtain one of those dry boxes. Cheers!

[@TAPSSebas]

it is also a ender 3 and it cant print that good

[@NorthseaKoala]

@@TAPSSebas I don't know where you got that Idea from, but Ender 3s are perfectly capable of making good quality prints.

[@ThoughtlessMoose]

​@@TAPSSebas its the ender 3 v2 which can print well, I have an ender 3 pro and it has printed with no strings for a long time, I forgot what I did to remove stringing, but it wasn't moist filament

[@MR_NoBoDY469]

great project!! i am happy JLCPCB reached out to you. and you deserve more followers

[@MaxImagination]

Much appreciated! I'm happy they sponsored this video and reached out with a helping hand through me to viewers who also want to make projects as such without their own 3D printer 👍

[@GeekDetour]

Man... great project and video. 3D Printing can be waaaaay improved, though!

[@MaxImagination]

Thanks for your comment. Yup, there was too much stringing present in these prints, I have now tuned my printer to retract at the right speed to avoid this next time. We live and learn!

[@ashers_workshop]

Well done! I was surprised how small it was,very cute but capable looking boat. I noticed you had a lot of stringing on your 3d prints. You should probably play with your retraction setting and if your in a humid environment consider making (or buying) a dry box. You can build one for very cheap and in the meantime you can dry out your pla filament by placing it on your bed spaced up with something like Popsicle sticks and place a box over it with small holes on the top. Then heat your bed to like 50C and leaves for several hours. That should dry out the filament.

[@MaxImagination]

Thank you, Asher! Yes, you made a good point there with what I should do to remove stringing, I'll try that! I'll also order one of those filament dry boxes. In the meantime, would keeping my filament rolls in a sealed box or dry rice work? Asking this since I do not live in a cold country to have electric blankets or anything of the sort. Cheers!

[@daz1982123]

Sort out your retraction, that stringing should be non existent if the ender is set up properly, but thank you for the video, I'm going to do this project soon 😀

[@MaxImagination]

After this video, I had adjusted my retraction settings and the stringing is gone. Thanks anyway! Happy making 😎

[@abhinav5842]

Hey dude, Please make a detailed video on how to make a Transmitter and receiver(of audrino nano and NRF module) and its programming, I have watched your previous video on it but iam totally confused, please make it , or a simple Rc car which includes a single dc motor with servo (or instead of servo for stearing you can use dc motor😅), and this transmitter and receiver, Please Dude I beg you 😢 Please reply if your are gonna make it 🥲

[@twistidclowns]

Built one with parts I had on hand but ended up way too heavy so I need a bigger boat. Still had fun even if I had to fetch it off the bottom of the lake when it leaked. Only lost a $3 brushed esc.

[@MaxImagination]

You might need to pick a smaller, more powerful (Brushless) motor and a lighter battery. This is not supposed to happen. How did you seal the lid and what parts did you use?

[@mrchrisp8103]

The jet engine is one of the inefficent propulsion for boats. Maybe you can try alternatives and compare them, that would be interesting

[@MaxImagination]

The water jet is only as efficient as its motor. These in general do push out more water at higher speed, mine simply did not get a motor powerful enough. Will try with outboard engines and others in the future I'm sure.

[@sharadnepali7188]

Boat is great but 3d printing stringing is a nightmare so try dehyrating your filament and tweek a bit in retraction settings in cura the prints will look clean an smooth

[@MaxImagination]

I think it's the humidity that's affecting my filament, it's mainly the while one that strings a lot. I will try with adjusted settings too. Thanks.

[@adhwahakimhakim1826]

I love all you project bro thx ❤

[@MaxImagination]

Glad you like them! Stay tuned for the next one too! Thank you 😁

[@user-tu7py8bl2u]

Thid chanel is amazing. Great video!

[@MaxImagination]

Thank you so much!

[@chrisesdk8432]

Does water leak into the boat through the impeller shaft hole? It looks like you put a rubber disk with a hole for the shaft, but how well did that work?

[@MaxImagination]

It leaks through the top because of my weak sealant ring. The rubber disk only slowed down the shaft movement, so I removed it. Haven't encountered more than a drop of water leaking through the shaft hole.

[@user-qi2ys2tc6i]

I love you my friend ❣️❣️❣️❣️

[@MaxImagination]

Love ya for your kind support!

[@viciouzgamer3711]

Noticed that your pla was stringing. Your filament seems like it is wet from mosture in the air. Just a fyi a heating box may help for cleaner prints and for the filament. Keep up the work!

[@MaxImagination]

Thanks for your tip, I encountered some PLA storage boxes with temp adjustment. May consider picking up a couple of those. Cheers!

[@joegroom3195]

@@MaxImaginationI think it has to do more with your retraction settings than wet filament. Try doing some retraction tests to determine the best setting. Need to also make sure the nozzle and bed don't have play in them and the belts are tight. You should be getting better prints out of that guy. Also, awesome video! Neat little boat! Glad you included the problems you encountered, it gives others a chance to learn from your mistakes as well. Going brushless might need a water cooled esc.

[@Unknown-om8es]

thats so cool man. u are the best youtuber i have ever seen

[@MaxImagination]

I appreciate that!

[@cullendarling7916]

Having never used a 3d printer I've always wondered what that outer ring that always seems to be around the party that's being printed. Is it some sort of reference?

[@MaxImagination]

It is a reference line used to confirm proper bed leveling before it starts producing the actual print. Super handy feature to keep.

[@YashSaroj-dh5lb]

[@MCsCreations]

Fantastic work, Max! Amazing little boat!!! 😃 About the water leak, PLA isn't waterproof. What you can do is to paint a thin layer of epoxy over it, for example. And there are lots of other ways to make it waterproof. 😊 BTW, a 20A esc should be more than enough for the 180 DC motor. I used cheap 10A escs on my WPLs with one of those (although they are probably brandless). Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@MaxImagination]

Thanks for the tips, MC! I appreciate it. Totally agree, an ESC of a higher amperage would have done the trick. I may consider building a bigger jet boat in the future that is all brushless for peak efficiency and power. Thanks for you comment! Cheers! 😃

It's a bit unrelated, but how do you charge that tiny lipo (50mah)? The tp4056 does 1amps which will destroy them...

Hi. You still use the TP4056 with such battery but instead, change out the current limiting resistor for one that's 10K ohms. You can look up "TP4056 current resistor rating chart" and you will see what resistor to use according to the battery's current capacity.
