Welcome to my custom 3D-printed twin-motor RC boat project! Designed entirely from scratch in CAD, this sleek catamaran hull balances compact aesthetics with real, practical performance on the water.
Inside the hull, you will find a highly optimized layout engineered to keep the weight centered and the profile low. The internal compartment is pre-configured to cleanly seat a dual DC 130 motor setup alongside a dedicated motor driver and power assembly, powering a dual propeller shaft alignment. This design allows you to explore differential thrust mechanics without needing a complex hardware setup, making it an accessible and highly rewarding project for any hobbyist.
The files are split to print smoothly on standard 3D printer beds, requiring minimal support material while maintaining strong structural integrity. The removable canopy hatch offers easy access to the electronics bay for quick battery swaps and maintenance between runs.
From the initial assembly on the workbench to hitting the water, this little boat is incredibly fun to build and steer. Download the files, drop in your electronics, and let me know how it performs on your first run!
