Inspiration

Sometimes it’s just about building something that has no real world value, BUT IS AWESOME!

What it does

It’s a remote control piece of craziness.

How I built it

I build the frame with a 3d printer, I connected the motor to the servo with a custom designed mount I 3d printed. I also mounted it to the cardboard with a piece I designed to hold the servo. Then with lots of soldering tape and borrowed tools I created a working device.

Challenges I ran into

Well the propulsion is on all the time. It always on and always fast. I printed 2 incorrect servo mounts before I got one that fit. I had problems with infill (how hollow a part is) and also took some incorrect measurements. I had a few problem with batteries also.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

IT MOVES! And is blast to use

What I learned

Bring tools if you want to hardware hack (It Helps). Measure twice print once; it takes a long time to print parts…

What's next for Not quite a Hovercraft...

First things first thrust control. Better batteries, then a Wi-Fi controlled setup.
