RC Tugboat

This is a functioning 3d printed RC Tug Boat that has been designed using rene76’s thing:2840309 hull and parts as a starting platform.

Included with this design is the original (unmodified) hull files, a number of custom designed parts, an example list of hardware & electronics that can be used, and links to other Thingiverse parts to aid in completing this as a fully functioning RC model.

All parts were printed in PLA, most parts with 50% infill, motor mount and rudder ring 100% infill, on a printer with an approximate build area of 255x255x260mm. Ensure all parts have been dropped to build plate level prior too printing.
Assembly notes:
Hull
Completed hull pieces were glued with epoxy. The whole hull was then painted with epoxy, high fill primer & wet sanding were used to smooth the hull prior to being painted with acrylic spray cans.
Prop shaft
The hole for the prop shaft may need to be carefully drilled out to fit the stuffing tube. Test fit with propellor and rudder ins
