The complete hovercraft file will not work

Working hovercraft with 2 thrust props. designed to be printed on a 220 x 220 x 240 mm NO LESS or big parts will not fit.
Longest print time is about 10 hours
some parts need to be printed more than once but these are obvious.
Propellers are not included but I recommend 3 or 4 bladed ones with a 10/9.5 cm diameter. (I have now designed propellers: 4 blades; https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2829558 8 blades https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2829551) I also recommend you don't print these as I have found that 3d printed props disintegrate or are very heavy.

Use the reworked skirt frame files
use thrust duct for the lift duct as they are the same.

Make the skirt from a bin bag by gluing it to the inside part of the outside rim and the next ring in, ensuring it is fairly loose.

3 motors and 1 9 gram servo required and possibly more wire.
all the electronic are designed to fit in the front part of the craft.
