New Guide: Crickit Paddle Wheel Boat #3DThursday #3DPrinting

Guide: https://learn.adafruit.com/crickit-boat

In this project we’re building a cricket powered paddle wheel rover!

This simple water bot is 3d printed and features a tripod mount for capturing underwater photography.

The rover stays afloat with the help of pool noodles that are mounted to the 3d printed enclosure.

We used NinjaFlex filament to 3d print watertight mounts for the motors and components!

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!
