After downloading the original design, I printed it as intended, which included a propeller. However, I quickly realized it wouldn't work.
To fix the issues, I redesigned it to work with my electronics and then printed it on my old Ender 3. After about five days, I had all the sections ready.
Here’s a render I made after fixing the exterior.

Here’s the delta for the water jet intake. My motor is water-cooled, so the hose sticking out of the bottom is for the cooling water to exit. The steering rod was hot-glued in place since I ran out of bolts—and I still haven’t fixed it.
Here, you can see the two water streaks that help the boat get up on plane, along with the 3D-printed boat stand.
I’ve tested the boat, and it floats well with good turning capability. It’s not super fast since it weighs around 1.2 kg, which is quite a lot. However, this was just a concept to see if I could pull it off.
Now, I’m currently modeling a Stan Patrol 4008, which I’ll 3D print. This time, I’m designing it fully from scratch and ensuring it’s properly powered.
