CHECK OUT PETER STRIPOL'S NEW VIDEO ON 3D PRINTED BOATS - kzbin.info/www/bejne/rXmwoZmnqLGsqsU

[@mandernachluca3774]

Hey, quick question, do you think that the solid aluminium coupler was the cause for the propellor failure, since couplers normally are flexible to prevent torsional vibrations of the motor from destroying the shaft and the prop?

[@willierants5880]

The boats in Peter's video were pretty good and unique in their approach, but I think without a doubt that Simon's boat is better. The boats in Peter's videos are good because they are designed to be very simple to print and build and be as inexpensive as possible. So cheers to both!

[@ametheshlgp74]

Please do longer videos because I love you videos😊

[@WillAllen22]

Very cool. Only suggestions I would have would be: 1) Battery is not balanced on center, so maybe it at least is on the proper side to counteract the rotational momentum? 2) Next design should try to either expose the heatsinks to moving air (on motor and ESC) or pump water across them. Love that no bilge is required.

[@darekmario446]

Your Videos are horribly underrated. Your Footages are awesome and your Ideas Great!

[@Hawk1966]

Nice! Ran like crazy before it broke. Great that a viewer was able to reach out and solve a problem. Maybe you should list the specs for the prop and someone might have a solution!

[@Skydance69]

your footage is amazing, in my opinion you have been improved this skill on the new level! i think you work hard for that and that is really good that you learn sth new every time, respect!

[@IzakGt]

I liked your usage of the 360 camera. Normally I'm not a fan of it because I get lost on what "I think" I should be looking at. In your video, I enjoyed how you directed the shot that I should be looking at and showcasing the camera's features. Unless I don't have the 360 feature enabled or something haha. Fun video regardless! Kudos to the viewer who custom made the coupler for you.

That is sweet. When I was young, we had made foam and cardboard molds and used fiberglass. I built one after crashing my airplane with a .61 motor and 12" air prop on a stand at the rear. It would move out- 50 years ago-

seriously good application for Tiamet 3d nano diamond filament! Prints like pla performs like 20% carbon fiber nylon

[@techhunter2005]

This is called creative ideas

[@KamenPhilip]

Really awesome build, Simon! There is room for improvement, there are two minor drawbacks in this build. Firstly, the boat is not balanced across the main axis (it is little bit tilted to the left due to the battery weight). I'm not sure how heavy is the speed controller, but if you move it to the other side, it can counterbalance the battery, to some extend and if needed, you can put additional weight. This way you will improve the overall stability, especially at higher speeds. The other problem is that there is fairly big clearance between the steering ring and the propulsion nozzle. You can clearly see the negative effect of this when the boat is running faster - there is water springing like a fountain on every direction from the gap between the two. If you make them fit together tightly, for example like a ball faucet assembly, it will greatly improve the performance. But again - an awesome build, can't wait to make one myself!

[@a.b.l4408]

¡Next level with 360 view!

[@stonebayrocker]

Sooo! You could get hold of wax filament and 3d print the shape and make a lost wax casting of a aluminium impeller! 👍🏻 That would make a good video and you could get started with alu melting/casting!!

Also, you may consider using an online service to 3D print a metal propeller... Or building the 3D printed CNC, or something entry level from gearbest... I would consider doing the whole drive train in aluminium...

[@EdyStauch]

Congratulations. I'm starting in the RC world and I'm thinking of starting with a boat. I'm still buying the components, but maybe I'll start printing soon. My printer has print area of 300x300x300 I think I'll have to split the model in two parts at least.

If ur boat gets propulsion by pumping water "inside" the boat and shooting it out at the back, you could use some thin extra tubes to make a water-cooling for the Motor ;) It's quite hard to describe my idea, think about it! :) Love your vids :3

[@not_kasper]

Maybe put some sort of netting over the intake, like some thin metal wire knotted in crosses, that would prevent stuff from coming into the prop?

[@alessandrotorboli3782]

RCLifeOn You should try to 3D print the propeller with the Anycubic Photon, objects printed with SLA technology have a stronger layer bond and are much more resistant than those printed with FDM.

[@SarojaTheRobot]

Take your time man no rush.. Add some more musics and effects.

[@jacen3716]

Amazing!

[@yokouu4999]

Good video👍👍👍

[@ripmax333]

impressive, and it goes really well on the water but in order to be perfect IMO it must be designed to accept standard equipment which you can find easily, as you mentioned the propeller. it needs a redesigned to accept a standard size propeller.

[@MrWobling]

What about building a hydrofoil next? I too think you should try PETG for the propeller.

[@95tekki]

What about plastic molding yourself the propeller? you can 3d print it, make a mold out of silicone and then cast it with resin (imho the easiest way, since using other types of polymers usually needs heat and high pressures). Would not only cost not much, but you can mold multiples if you take good care of the silicone. Check Frank ippolito from tested if you would like to get more in depth info about it!

[@RcLifeOn]

Hey great info man! Have an awesome day!

[@95tekki]

RCLifeOn no problem! You too dude

[@chill_will9816]

Considering the range of prop sizes/ pitches available in copper, plastic, and carbon fiber, youd think he could just buy one.

[@hazzamazzard5348]

That’s awesome

[@53rdcards]

Could get the biggest metal prop you can fit in it, then 3d print a adapter sleeve for it for a perfect fit to fill any excess space

[@MrCostinyo]

maybe you can try to print the propeller using shapeways and make it from several super strong materials !

[@CyberMaster86]

i think you could modify the boat to be even faster with the equipment you already have on it :D maybe if you increase the size of the intake for the propeller you could pump more water into it?

[@EspenShampoo25]

i am a big fan of yours so dont take this the wrong way, it is not only you who this is directed against. I just noticed how many of the youtubers i watch keep on printing stuff in PLA even though we all know by now that is is not a strong material and it will degrade in sunlight. You are so clever, you can make drones, rc boats, cars etc. This is something i can only dream about being able to do! But when it comes to materials for 3d printing it seems all logic is set aside. It just baffles me. Anyways, other than that, i love the video as always. Everything you make has such a high quality. Fuunny you mention Ace Ventura in the comment section, because you remind me of him XD Ha en fin dag videre :D

[@RcLifeOn]

Thanks for watching my channel man! I think the main five reasons many KZbinrs, including myself, are using PLA is because its cheap, accessible, easy to print, doesn't smell and has moderately good properties. Obivously we have nylon and PC filament that would withstand higher temperatures and be overall a "better" option for a lot of our projects. Look at Ivan Miranda, printing huge amounts, the cost with PLA versus cost of nylon is unbeatable. For me personally I use it because its cheap and doesn't smell when printing.

[@EspenShampoo25]

I totally see your logic when it comes to that. And since you mainly do prototype ish experiments it doesnt really have to last that long either. I was wondering though, have you thought about using PET-G instead? the price of the one i buy is very similiar to PLA and it doesnt break as easy, at least not shatter like PLA. And it of course has a UV resistance to it. BTW i am loving that you take your time to answer your fans, as stated earlier i am a big fan of yours. I saw a video from Makers muse yesterday where he explains how you dont follow the same "plan" as most youtubers of pumping out videos all the time to stay relevant. And i hadnt even noticed it but you dont make that many videos a month like many of your piers. But i really think thats a good think because i have seen all your videos at least from the last year because i know when you first make a video its gonna be good. Keep doing what your doing. Your my fav 3d printer channel on here and the one i always referance when i show of 3d rprinting sites to friends :)

[@taragwendolyn]

Rigid usually translates to brittle... have you thought of trying a flex-PLA for the impeller instead? might be more resilient to the water resistance, if you can't find a rigid filament that's strong enough....
