This will be a build thread of the model C. Got experience with building FPV drones, but searched for a new challenge. ROV's it was. But after doing some research, it's way more expensive then I expected, or the rov was very low tech, untill I came across the Blue Dot website. I love the design Costas put down here and I think he deserves a lot of credit for putting his afford in the design. In my opinion the Model C is looking good (very important if submerged), assembly not very difficult and 3D printed! When fully build, I want to add a gripper, so I can use that to pick up small objects or drop a magnet/hook onto objects. I will use the drone to get familiar with "underwater operations". I'm very interested in history, in my country we have al lot of water and a lot of "sunken villages" and ww2 objects under water. Really like to explore all of that. Sinds I'm from Europe (Netherlands), collecting hardware is sometimes a little hard, because Amazon uses high shipping costs. I will update the progress I made in this thread. All the hardware is in order, mostly aliexpress and local stores. I received the STL files and started printing. First thing I saw was that the dimensions were off in Cura. But saw an earlier post, that small parts had to be scaled up x10 and huge parts needed to be scaled down by x0.1. Also there was an update for the faceplate. It now has some distance keeper things for distance to the dome. I saw the update for a compass, so i will include it directly into the build. I will update the progress I made in this thread. Picture will follow! Quint
