The complete hovercraft file will not work
Working hovercraft with 2 thrust props. designed to be printed on a 220 x 220 x 240 mm NO LESS or big parts will not fit.
Longest print time is about 10 hours
some parts need to be printed more than once but these are obvious.
Propellers are not included but I recommend 3 or 4 bladed ones with a 10/9.5 cm diameter. (I have now designed propellers: 4 blades; https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2829558 8 blades https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2829551) I also recommend you don't print these as I have found that 3d printed props disintegrate or are very heavy.
Use the reworked skirt frame files
use thrust duct for the lift duct as they are the same.
Make the skirt from a bin bag by gluing it to the inside part of the outside rim and the next ring in, ensuring it is fairly loose.
3 motors and 1 9 gram servo required and possibly more wire.
all the electronic are designed to fit in the front part of the craft.
you may have to move some components around to adjust the center of weight.
This is untested, I will update when tested.
I am currently printing
The complete hovercraft file will not work and is just so you can tell what it looks like and how its put together
Up date 1
I have added a roof for the cabin at the front. On the roof is an adjustable fpv camera mount. You will need to secure the slider and camera with blue tack or something like that so it doesn't come off. Unfortunately I cannot upload the slider so please wait while I sort the problem.
The updated fan housing can be used in stead of the standard one, it has larger screw holes, lower motor cowling and a break in the cowling for the motor wires to get out.
Update 2
I have made the body thinner to allow the air to circulate under the skirt and to make it a lot lighter.
I have also split the body into 4 to reduce print time and allow it to print on a smaller printer.
Update 3
When printing I noticed a design defect where one of the slots on one side of the body didn't prints this is now fixed. This was only for the updated body sections
