FabLab Tulsa 1 Rubber Band Boat by Greg Zumwalt #3DThursday #3DPrinting
Shared by gzumwalt on Instructables:
Fab Lab Tulsa (https://fablabtulsa.org) asked me to a design a boat for their “Boat Moat” challenge during Maker Faire, Tulsa on August 25, 2018 and I gladly accepted the challenge! After a week of design and testing, redesign and more testing, FLT1 (Fab Lab Tulsa 1) is ready to race.
FLT1 fits inside the maximum allowed dimensions of 8 by 5 inches, and, as required, is powered by a rubber band. Weighing in at a total weight of 60 grams (2.1 ounces), as can be seen in the video, it can really move. I tested my FLT1s using single rubber band, but…
As usual, I probably forgot a file or two or who knows what else, so if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask as I do make mistakes in plenty.
Designed using Autodesk Fusion 360, sliced using Cura 3.2.1, and printed in PLA on an Ultimaker 3 Extended.

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!
The Adafruit Learning System has dozens of great tools to get you well on your way to creating incredible works of engineering, interactive art, and design with your 3D printer! If you’ve made a cool project that combines 3D printing and electronics, be sure to let us know, and we’ll feature it here!
