Big White Shark for RC 120cm 3D print model

Print files for making a large remote controlled shark.

The shark is based on the idea of ​​RC SubGuy who unfortunately does not offer the files for sale.

That's why I finally decided to make one myself.

The Shark is 120 cm long, so quite a large size. This can be completely printed and the other necessary parts such as the drive and waterproof compartment can be purchased ready-made.

The files also include a brief manual and a complete list of supplies.

Of course, some experience with printing and making (sailing) 3D models is desirable and recommended. Making these types of models does require some creative ability.

The model shown is the prototype, one printed in ASA and the other in PETG. In the end, PETG turns out to be the best choice. This material is water-resistant, fairly tough and prints very easily.

The shark is powered by 2 motors (thrusters) that blow out the water from the mouth through the gills. Elektronics are fitted in 2 waterproof boxes one with the receiver and the 2 ESC's the other with the akku (2x 3s Lipo 2200Mah.

You need a 40/72 or another old skool transmitter or a modern 900Mhz transmitter set (i use the 900Mhz set) 2,4 Ghz doesn't work under wather.

To make this shark you will need (in addition to the parts for the controls):

• 3D Printer
• (battery) drill
• 17mm hole drill
• m6 tap
• Fast glue
• A few pieces of 2 and 3 core cable.
