I wanted to use this opportunity to thank everyone on this forum for the unconditional support I received with building my small project - highly appreciated.
My goal was to be able to make an affordable water drone for kids to enjoy during summer break from school and the whole intent is to build it during the fall and winter season. This is not a one week project but one that requires a lot of patience and patience .
Most people have the money to buy the off the shelf (store product) but there is nothing satisfying about building something of your own - which in turn gives you lots of knowledge on the way things work .
I will also take this opportunity to recommend on donating to forums like this because without them I will not be able to achieve my goal of building this water drone .
I took this project on to utilize and polish my CAD drawing skills and I have learnt a lot on this epic journey . I will try to outline all the challenges and solution
Design
-
Make it as modular as possible to minimize the print time in your 3Dprinter
-
Customizable as possible being modular
-
Easy to assemble and replace parts
Functionality
-
Have enough movement to be able to achieve easy task in the water
-
Go to reasonable depths to have fun with it (70 Feet).
I will try to keep you guys posted on my progress .
Note the STL files are not complete and its a work in progress . Enjoy
