About this print

This wind up bathtub boat is a functional mechanical toy intended to travel across bath water. Its design uses gears and a spiral wind up mechanism to store and release motion, giving the boat a simple self propelled action without electrical components. It can be used for play or as a demonstration of basic mechanical energy transfer. PETG is a sensible printing material because it is durable and offers good resistance to water.
