“Designed and printed a semi-submersible RC payload platform.”

Built this semi-submersible RC payload prototype using a cheap donor RC boat and a fully custom 3D printed hull.

Designed in Fusion 360 and printed in PETG.

The idea was to experiment with:

- semi-submersible stability

- payload transport

- waterproof hull design

- rapid prototyping

It can carry small objects/drinks and was tested successfully in pool conditions.

Still a prototype, but a really fun project to build.
