RCLifeOn can. You upload your videos quiet fast as we all are interested in the content so please don’t make us desperate

[@thebeststooge]

A friendly suggestion on the coupler and that is do not print it like a tower but instead on its side. All of my couplers failed at a seam line due to twisting forces but if the layers are perpendicular to the twisting force it can't twist off. I would give that a try. I hope that helps.

[@MakersMuse]

Holy crap did that work so much better than I could have imagined. Historically I have had horrible success with RC Boats (they like to sink) but this makes me want to try it again so badly. Maybe a mini one next :P!

You can print it in parts( need software to cut) so you can have a few hour chunks .. but then you need to glue them . whatever foats ………. your boat ;)

[@ARepublicIfYouCanKeepIt]

Simon, your videography (recording and post-processing) keeps improving. From taking the servo mount off the F360 screen, to your perspective face shots, to the drone footage with helicopter sound effect, the whole video was fantastic. Oh, and the RC boat design, 3D print, integration, build and test were incredible, as well! Have an awesome day!

I liked the video just for the cat ..... regardless of your awesome work, i was watching on the tv screen , went into the history on my phone just to comment to show some support to the cat and maybe your work too

[@ColeBender]

Technically it's just a normal boat with a propeller partially inside and not a real jet boat. I think if you get an aluminum coupling and propeller you will not be bottlenecked by the 3D printing. Because of the fact that it's not a traditional jet boat I think you will also find the propeller pushing air instead of water when you go higher speeds. Absolutely loved the video as always.

[@normanmendonca2834]

My friend, you have made an epic production. This KZbin video should be up for an award, the presentation,music and overall quality is wonderful. I enjoyed it very much. Your 3d printed boat is fantastic. I love all the 3d printed parts.

[@Bare_Essence]

Ok ... you did not give yourself enough credit on the raft! The boat was awesome and worked well. The raft / video platform / boat rescue / ... worked very well! You were on the edge and did not seem to list much if at all. The anchor rope was cool too! Great job.

[@gth042]

Obviously your cinematic skeeelz are waaay up there (I'd like to see you do a full movie one day). What's your favorite effect/transition/trick you like to do? Folks seem to like the 9:04 Go"Pro", but the 5:14 was slick as well as the subtle 0:34. Thanks for your work and... have an awesome day. Nice raft thingie, btw -- seems really stable!

@ 4:14 - LOL! Favorite part of the video!!!

[@mccc4559]

Congratulations on attaining 100,000 subscribers!!! You're there my little brother. I am so proud of you. This project, your passion, the wisdom, and everything else happen to be beyond incredible!!!

[@knowledgebyte]

A really simple yet effective coupler is nothing more than a piece of fuel tubing. I bought a brass coupling, but then had to make up a TPU bush to allow the allen screws to nip the shaft without rocking off the shaft - the shaft is polished stainless-steel. Tubing is best from what I can tell.

[@Carlos-ce2gn]

That design is sooooooo CLEAN!! Great job

[@BitJul_1]

The homemade RC jetboat and raft are both super cool. And yes, try printing the shaft connector in nylon.

[@DargoDog]

Aside from it just being badass, I like this project because all of the work is not done by the 3D printer. For some reason I like that there is still fabrication and assembly to do.

[@jakew3]

Hey here's another comment. So amazing what you can accomplish with 3d printer and lots of ingenuity, plus perseverance

[@olegunter7885]

Perhaps you can make a net in Front of the water inlet so nothing can touch the Motor.... and Please build another racing drone

[@DIYBuilder]

Awesome Jetboat bro :)

[@RCAdventure]

can you color grade the drone footage and this is looking better 😉😉😉😉😉

[@keitharnold7016]

I have a little experience in RC Boats. I REALLY hope that you do the 'upgrade' and give us a video of that. A metal prop and shaft coupler would let you go FULL THROTTLE. However, this is impressive, just the way you did it.

[@thibaultlamtran9312]

Oh boy! This video is amazing I can really share this video with my friends! I also made the boat and it totally rips!

[@stevepenner3419]

Very cool. Beautiful lake! Would like to see the boat again with upgraded coupler and maybe a better prop.

[@orlovsskibet]

You always make me smile. You are such a positive person !

[@DieCastoms]

I want the same boat, but small enough to print in one piece on an Ender 3. Yes, it will need smaller electronics, I know that. Also, try using sealed bearings at the point where the propshaft enters the hull, at the point where it exists the hull, and at the point in the black jet housing. Pack between the two hull bearings with something like petroleum jelly ("Vaseline") to keep water seeping though the hull there. I also suggest even a really low "windshield" immediately in front (and maybe down the sides) of the slide in cover. Just a little ramp-shaped 'lip' on the red plastic part.

[@mikecoleman1685]

I printed this boat and I cant find the servo ,battery and motor mount you made. Do you have a link to your makes

[@blickberg8404]

Pretty cool trick pulling out the part from the screen.

[@rustyshackleford6259]

That first raft shot was something to be written about for future generations to know.

[@patprop74]

Very cool, and that fact, you posted on thingiverse is even better! A++ video as always! Cheers.

[@johnboleyjr.1698]

Awesome build. The first thought I have for the coupler between the shafts is some kind of aquarium tubing, the air line tubing or something like it. This would not only connect the two shafts together, but would provide a bit of shock absorption, and vibration dampening for the motor.

[@matthewdebona]

You should 3D print a catermaran and add 2 motors on each side! Try to make it as fast as you can.

[@user-dz2jv4in5z]

More motors doesn't mean more speed.

[@QuebecoisSti]

Awesome boat! To be racing ready you should get a metal propeller, metal coupler, put bearing to hold the shaft, use a metal (or only plate in between your plastic one) motor support (may melt otherwise). Some watercooled for motor and ESC would make it holding the power overtime

[@pauljs75]

So how fast can you get it before cavitation becomes an issue?

[@endliberalism4305]

Take this as a compliment my friend, coming from a black man I must say in all my years it will never cease to amaze me the White , Anglo , Icelandic, Germanic, Celtic and related blood are the only ones who “invent”, “teach”, show tutorials, help others with ideas that further advance civilization as we know it. I am ashamed of my people as the videos they produce are selfishly based IE want to be rappers, dancers, entertainers, they want to make millions but they do not want to work for it or use their minds. Rapping and dancing and making world star videos laughing at drowning victims are not what I would consider conducive to the growth of the civilized world. Thank you for this very interesting video and continue using the gift God has blessed your people with, YOUR MIND!

Hi Simon great video, loved the angle of your last few moments. Keep these great videos comming.

[@gustavocavicchia3099]

Well done!! Congratulations! I guess you like boats so much. Why don't you think about make a rocket next time!? With a real propulsion system... have you ever imagined take some pictures of stratosphere?!?! So cool!!!

[@paulmason6847]

Really nice job there, you can buy a universal joint coupling with changeable fitting on both ends fairly cheaply, this will also help with reducing friction from miss-alignment between motor and shaft that you get from a solid coupling, i am amazed the 3d printed prop held together, well done.

[@garyritter9076]

Try reprinting the coupler with wood fiber pla. Then give it a coating of saturating epoxy resin. the epoxy resin and wood will get almost as strong as steel. There have been regular boat props made this way for 15 hp

[@zincyellowmach1523]

Awesome videos! Back in the day we used a small box full of grease right before the shaft exits the hull, the tube leads to the box of grease and the share rides through it to the motor. Water can not pass the grease. Thought that might help in the future, thanks for the good videos!

[@bigpaco996]

You might want to try printing a slotted cover for the water intake so you don't suck up any big particals and ruin the impeller.

What a GREAT project! It performed so well and you knew you might have problems with the coupler before you even tried it. Great job!

[@RamonAlcaide]

For the shafts connections try using the metal pieces inside those couplers for AC cables which you tighten with screws (I dont know if I made myself clear). Its cheap and easy to find, the only problem is that you will have to sand down to the same radius one of the shaft or you will suffer huge vibrations

[@pbitsurf]

You are probably one of my favorite KZbinrs. You always inspire me to work hard on my own personal projects. Thank you for making such good videos.

[@simonyoung6120]

Do you consider the water line or balance on your boats. also try a UJ or rubber connection between motor and prop shaft to reduce vibrations

[@billysmether6237]

Well done!!!!!!!!! Excellent design!

[@greazemungkie]

Great video and boat, awesome lake!!!

[@stugotswins]

wow great video you might add a screen to keep things from getting sucked into the intake, also make the drive nozzle a conical shape to increase the pressure of the water as it exits the nozzle

[@dmanalang9037]

Is there a continuation to this video? It’ll be nice to see how you corrected the problem and how fast it is on full throttle.

This is such a coincidence! I'm currently working too on a 3d printed jetboat⭐️ super awesome!!

[@diamantinoribeiro1912]

[@theeyx]

A suggestion: use a funnel to funnel in the water jet coming out the back to make it go much faster!!

[@suchitchandrashekhar3064]

Will the receiver and transmitter work if the boat goes underwater and till what depth would it transmit or receive signals.

[@Duke-px2kk]

Thanks. You might try with a silicone tube as a connection to the shaft. Glue and strap it might work. Your raft is way nicer than mine I had when I was a kid. 👍

Nice job Simon, as always. And watching your vids makes me love your country.

[@lazyj4732]

Great build and video. For a smaller printer, you could print the bow area as a hollow sealed unit with locating pins and matching indentations in the aft section. That way both halves should line up perfectly and give flotation without any weakness.

[@pbnj6399]

That’s one hell of a boat you got there

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

That boat turned out great! I suspect you already thought of this, but wish there were a way to use 2 equal sized 2S packs in series for a more balanced boat, but other than that...WOW it was so cool! Did you end up finding a coupler to use? P.S. GREAT VIDEO!!!

[@xalwine]

Could you print the coupler out of nylon for added strength?

[@TGiFoosday]

Great video and build project. I love and scratch build my own RC Jet boats too. Just a couple of notes for you though, 1: On water jet drives it is an impeller, not a propeller. 2: On Jet boats the steering is provided by the "Steering Bucket", it is not a "Rudder", a rudder is a fin that Redirects water being pushed by a 'propeller' or flowing past it. Both result in a torque force on the transom that changes where the nose/bow is pointing. There is great satisfaction in building one yourself and having it actually work yes? Keep up the good work.

[@haipengli4769]

Nice work and clear explanation.

[@feinkostmayer934]

I think that after some time, the friction between the shaft and the boat will lead to heat and the pla could melt. But very nice idea.
