This was my first attempt at 3D printing an RC boat. With plans to print a large navy ship I wanted to confirm that I could actually get a 3d printed boat running so I tried this file from Thingiverse. It still needs lights and paint but it runs surprisingly well. Power is from a 3s lipo and a brushless outrunner - pics in a later post. I'm planning to make an autonomous boat this year and this is a potential candidate
Printed from ASA and ABS filament on a Bambu X1 Carbon and glued together with acetone. Acetone dissolves ABS and ASA so it's also nice to dissolve the support scraps in a jar of acetone to make a filler putty.
You might notice the different colors on the suprtstructure, that's because it's just resting on top and can be knocked off and lost requiring a reprint
Does anyone have suggestions for a colour scheme?

This tug is awesome JS. Online I've noticed online that some 3D prints are getting huge!

Always great to see more 3D printing used for model boats. Thanks for posting this. Also, do you print with 100,% fill? If so, drop it down to get the parts to float.
