3d Printed Hovercraft RC Project
Project Description
This RC hovercraft is a fully 3D-printed, modular vehicle designed for land and water traversal. It features two brushless DC motors—one providing vertical lift and the other driving forward thrust—along with a servo-controlled rudder for precise steering. The lift system channels air into a simple but effective skirt made from a household trash bag, allowing the craft to float on a cushion of air. All components are secured using M3 hardware and heat-set inserts, making the design robust, easily serviceable, and ideal for DIY experimentation.
Project Details
- Dual BLDC motor system with separate lift and thrust control.
- Fully 3D-printed frame needs no supports for efficient printing.
- Uses M3 hardware and heat-set inserts for fast and strong assembly.
- Servo-controlled rudder for precise directional movement.
- Lightweight air skirt constructed from a standard trash bag.
