Aerodeck shared this project on Thingiverse!
I built the RC Hovercraft from jscaylor. It’s really fun to drive the hovercraft. But I always had problems steering right. There, the rudder effect was not enough to be able to drive around the corner properly. With the new rudder blade in the middle now both ways are the same and the hovercraft drives now clean around the bend.
Only one part is needed at a time. The rudder is modular and therefore suitable for both directions. ( cw or ccw )
I just tried to film that, but both are not really working at the same time. But I think you can still see the maneuverability well.
Every Thursday is #3dthursday here at Adafruit! The DIY 3D printing community has passion and dedication for making solid objects from digital models. Recently, we have noticed electronics projects integrated with 3D printed enclosures, brackets, and sculptures, so each Thursday we celebrate and highlight these bold pioneers!
Have you considered building a 3D project around an Arduino or other microcontroller? How about printing a bracket to mount your Raspberry Pi to the back of your HD monitor? And don’t forget the countless LED projects that are possible when you are modeling your projects in 3D!
