Renè Ruber Duck

I designed this RC rubber duck as a fun and unique project, combining playful design with functional engineering. The model was printed on a Bambu Lab X1C using a 0.4 mm nozzle and Prusament PETG for durability and water resistance. The duck is powered by a dual-motor drive system, allowing for differential steering and precise control on the water. This setup ensures good maneuverability while keeping the internal design simple and robust. The model is optimized for easy printing and assembly, making it a great project for both beginners and experienced makers. All parts are designed to fit together cleanly, with minimal post-processing required.
