Summary

Hi there again!

EDIT:
I added a new version of Balloon Boat - without the Ballon-option ;D so it's just a boat to combine with mini figures (because of request in comments).
--> Boat_wo_Balloon.stl

EDIT:
First of all: Thanks a lot to everybody who likes my balloon boat, to those who printed it and to those who gave me a little tip. It is just so amazing being featured on Thingiverse. When I woke up and saw the e-mail with the notification I couldnt't believe it.
Ok, back to work ;)
Why an edit?

Another small update:

  • Because some users asked for it: added a smaller version of V3.1
  • added a version without pins of V3.2 --> maybe it is better for people having trouble with air leaks. (But the problem for those is at first still the tube, not the pins).

UPDATE TIME!
What's new?

  • The "inner life" got's a new desgin. It is cleaner and the air will not leave the tube anymore.
  • V3.1 & V3.2 got a shorter chimney - faster print and more stability
  • The pin-rows are now even - Yipiee, Homer J. can sit just right in the middle of the boat!
  • The pins become a little bit thicker - so the blocks will fit even better.
  • V3.2 is a "classic" balloon boat with exhaust - it's easier for kids to inflate the balloon and in my opinion the boat is more stable on the water and faster.

Thanks to all for the good suggestions and thanks a lot to those who think it's worth a little tip for my next coffee when designing things :-)

Previous text:
Here is my new Version of "Balloon Boat" (V3). Now it is fully compatible with the famous mini-figures from Denmark.

It is also much more stable on the water than the older versions are.

Print it, try it and if you think it's worth it, I would be happy of a little tip.

  1. Put a balloon over the chimney and blow in the exhaust.
  2. Set the boat on top of water and release the "air hole".
  3. Have fun!
