Awesome 3D Printed RC Airboat

- Today I designed and built a working 3d printed RC airboat! Very exciting and I'm happy with the results. I learned a lot from the boat we made a few weeks ago: • BIG 3D Printed RC Spee...
Many of you left helpful comments that would better my chances to have a watertight 3d print, one of the most popular was to use flex seal in order to protect the PLA material from contacting the water. However, I increased the thickness slightly (4 walls/perimeters) and it worked beautifully!

Hey what's up guys, I hope you are doing good! Just wanted to say that I really appreciate you watching my videos and thumbs up on my videos is the best way to support my channel. Thanks and have an awesome day! 🙏
RCLifeOn please make a hovercraft
I enjoy how much effort you put into your videos with all that camera work, and explaining things in details to those who may not understand!
GREEN TECK GREECE Ivan Miranda Have made one!
Awesome video!
Please do NOT make a hovercraft… we're seeing that everywhere
Can you pls post the STL files for printing the case of the Powerbank you made? Pleaaaasseeee!!
I love how you are not afraid to show the failures. Not everything works the first time. and this gives me encouragement to try more things and not worry about failing. Nice!! Thank you
😊👍That's awesome! One thing good about air boats they can go anyplace and no need to be worried about the weeds!
Nice soap dish! :)
Yeah I like it a lot, really brings the bathtub to life.
huge fan of both you guys! Watch your channels regularly.
And they told me infinity war was the most ambiguous crossover event
What about a project with Joel, Simon and Angus???? And maybe Naomi boobs on the background! :D

Your cinematography skills have got next level ♥️
The quality of production of your videos is LIT
One of your best videos yet Simon - you can definitely see just how much your skills and designs make your life more enjoyable in this video (done, skateboard, boat, etc). Thanks for sharing!
Simon, your videos are really great! You live in such a beautiful place, thank's for sharing all these nice aerial shots.
I love the way you experiment, sharing errors, trying fun ideas and so. Please, go on, you're such a source of inspiration...
For all that, a big thanks!
Simon! You are such an inspiration! :)
you are truly amazing man keep up the good work
That's fantastic!!! The garage test was brilliant, so was that little pond!!
Man! I love the addition of aerial shots and some landscape shots in your videos. They just make your videos more amazing to watch.
2:45 Those RC cars on the shelf need some privacy.
BUEN TRABAJO!!! Felicidades
Great job and video. Really enjoy them and watching you rise to the challenges and letting failures become lessons to push on from. Simply Awesome!
As always a great video and awesome pictures! Congrats for the working 3D-printed boat!
Now make it fpv!
2:25 The Flex Seal meme lives on. “I’m gonna saw this boat in half”. 😂
I just found your channel today and I'm obsessed, Your content is awesome!
RCLifeOn this will be going on my cr10s in about fifteen minutes! Thanks Simon! Haven’t been seeing you upload as much as you used to, glad to see you back. Definitely one of my favorite CZcams personalities!
This is a wonderful project and one I will do when I get my new 3D Printer in 2 weeks for my kids.
BUT, most of your affiliate links link to products which are sold out.
The page refreshes to a list of searched products, but I have no idea if you will get a commission on any from the searched results.
Just to let you know as you put a lot into the videos and I think you deserve the commission.
Keep up the information and fun.
Well done.
FLEX SEAL FOR BOAT IS A MEME JOKE BRO, NICE
FLEX SEAL, DADDY PHIL SWIFT
Charles Carpenter thought the same
*THATS ALOTTA DAMAGE*
XD
I thought same lmao,
Awesome project. Great job Simon, as always.
Really entertaining! Thanks! Awesome script + gorgeous videos using drones and sub-aquatic action cam I presume + pretty good diagnostic about the center of gravity. PERFECT! Your channel is so inventive, so dynamic and without a doubt THE BEST AROUND about achieving pretty interesting projects. THANKS SIMON! KEEP IT UP!
Wanna try making a boat with a hydro foil?
that would be interesting, but i think it will be hard to make it so that it doesnt jump out of the water and flip itself
now i wanna make one !!!😀
A friend of mine made it....i must say it´s a bit better than Simon´s one.... :D And i designed for him a Fin, so it´s really cool :D
But he can´t make nice videos like Simon! :D
The file download is in the description

Awesome work Simon. Fantastic
Very cool bro! Amazing design, love the adjustablity of it
4:18.. The acid in standard Silicone Sealant will corrode electrical wiring and bare PCB traces/pads over time.
8:11.. Just change the Thrust line of the motor by tilting it down a bit. Like they do on RC Airplanes.
Simon knows his thrust lines :D As you saw, the cg was straight below the motor, so there wasn't much to do with angles. Lowering was the correct thing to do. If it's possible to move the CG back (heavier battery), it would help to angle the motor up, or if the motor is moved back instead, then angling it down helps.
I’m not smart enough to understand these intellectuals
Everyone says that silicone acid will corrode the electrical wire. Here I am with my poor raspberry pi outdoors for 7 years covered in a glob of silicone. Any day now it's gonna fail.. right?
You should cut it in half and fix it with flex tape! Next video: I SAWED THIS BOAT IN HALF AND REPAIRED IT ONLY USING FLEX TAPE
😂😂
I sawed this rc boat in half, and repaired it with only flex tape. And I put it in nothing infested waters and holds up well
Vilmo Would Flex Glue work too?
Rares Iordan probably
Keep on with the great rc air boat and boat videos
its alive!!! i need to build it myself. great model dude! subscribed!
The part at 7:14 sounds exactly like those nigerian guys carrying a coffin
Floris lmao 😂
It's Ghana not nigeria
I thought exactly the same and I didn't believe that anybody would have written a comment about it but I was wrong xD
THATS EXACTLY WHAT I THOUGHT
Floris *_coffin dance_*
how to create 3d item for 3d printer? Can you make a video about it pls?
That is amazing!!! You didnt give up on making a boat that would work and it turned out to be a great achievement!!
Great design and very informative video!
Make a water dancing speakers
5:08 plz ad wheels to it
Very nice! !! Great job !!!
Great editing!!!!
Do a give away on this
Like to buy a 3d printer
Very nice quality video! Good job!
Great job on the new boat. Definitely revitalizing my old RC car because of this. Also love the video footage and drone shots!
Where do you live?! It’s beautiful!!
Crazed Cubing He's in Sweden.
NEJ NEJ NEJ NEJ xDDDDDD
Man, lots of cool shots. As always. It's incredible that you do all this alone, ride the boat and the drone to make the perfect shot. I've to learn from you
Awesome video! great editing too
That intro is unnecessary, very entertaining and proof that you take pride in the videos you do, at the same time. When I saw how high the propeller was mounted, I knew that the boat would have a chance of toppeling forward. You fixed it quite easily though. I saw this video a while back. It would be nice to see this blower function on a boat. It's not nearly as efficient as a propeller but still cool in a way. Great video :) czcams.com/video/wg8ZbiC9IBw/video.html
I thought the intro was clever and fun instead of, "Hi, today..."
I thought so too. Logically it was unnecessary but still fun and clever.
Your comment is unnecessary so.....
Why are everyone so hooked on that word? Read my whole comment before commenting yourself! If you did that, you would've seen that I was giving him a compliment. I also gave him a video idea cause I thought it was cool. I like to be brief so I don't write an entire novel as a comment. I will write a longer one and in with more depth next time so people won't get offended.
The guy in that video should get a 3D printer. I think that plane of his would be much better if some parts of the plane was 3D printed, except perhaps the wings. I suspect it might become too heavy if too much is 3D printed. But it was cool to see :)
Electric RC has come a long way since I used to do it (90s?). I might start again, since I have a 3d printer now.
Those are some pretty nice shots!
Great improvement on version 1. And wow, what a fantastic spot for filming.
Very nice work .... I hope you always go on
Well done sir. I really enjoy watching your videos. They are always full of useful information. Stay safe!
I loved this so much! Not just because the project was genius or because it actually worked better than the last, but because you didn’t give up and it turned out to be a happy ending after all! I’m pretty sure you get this a lot, but keep up the good work👍🏻
Really nicely made video! Fun to watch and the boat works well too!
Ma man had the perfect chance to clickbait with flex seal and just didn't. He had a goal and he kept true to it regardless of everything else. Respect.
Tack för ännu en fin video din Goa gubbe. Hoppas att du har en riktigt bra dag. Supernajs video!!🙃🙃
Awesome dude!
I really like how you explain things very easy to understand.
Awesome project dude
Great success! Congratulations Simon. GG
That was way too much fun to be legal! Great job!!!!
Very nice job !
Amazing video!!
Hey dude, this looks really fun !!
Awesome video quality, you surely motivated me to resume my ongoing projects. :)
I might print this stuff out and try this boat, thanks again for this content !
Great, really a good work, and wonderful videos, recorded alone. incredible.
Enjoyed as always!
Your videos rock. I've said it before, you are a great engineer. I will be making one of these when I get my 3d printer set up. I am sick right now. But when I can I will definitely make one, that looks like a blast! Love your videos.
Your life is amazing!! I love your Channel and the 3D Printing...Greetings from Venezuela...!!
That’s an awesome design and looked great on the water👍
Excellent work
I am not into RC stuff at all, but I love your videos, always something to learn, and your drone shots show some beautiful country!!
Fantastic job, dude! Really neat! 😀
wow i am thoroughly impressed well done
Well done!!
This one is really awesome... Great for you! Ghanés for your videos...
That will go along on snow really well too!
Yeah, it's here!!!
Good job. Nicely done.
Really nice build.
I'm not sure how anyone could thumbs down this kid... so good.
I printed the two piece version of this some years ago. I'm finally getting it put together. Yours is definitely a better updated model. I never did figure out how to make the hinges work, so I just bought some little brass ones from the hardware store.
love the drone shoots
This is just awesome
Beautiful place dude.
10/10 special fx. Would watch again.
That intro lol! I love these engineering hobby videos. Just subscribed!
That's really cool!! You should try making a 3D printed hovercraft with some very powerful motors
Outstanding! I have to build one.
U guys realize how he loves his viewers so much
I loved the video il probably make one myself it looks super awesome. Keep up the good work!
Nice place, nice video, nice boat. Thanks a lot, I really enjoyed your video as always :)
I've ordered my CR-10S and while waiting for it to come I've been on ebay and ordered all the stuff I need to make this. Can't wait!
Awesome video
sick project
I like your projects and i like your editing. That is a rare combination to have those both skills skilled. well done
This is awesome.
I’ve been a lot less active due to me realizing that I can’t afford to do the stuff you do, and I was watching your channel to get experienced in what was possible with 3D printed but the few videos I still watch are amazing. Keep up the good content!
It's amazing.. can i have one of this with a detachment system for fishing????
Lookin good!
You make great vids and you are the biggest inspiration to creators every where
