The goal of this project was to use up some extra parts and build something fun. Because we will only use two motors you can easily repurpose an FC with a damaged ESC (In my case a BeeBrainBL Flight Controller that someone accidentally crashed into water one too many times, which I found gloriously ironic).
This is a good time to mention that this whole project is ill-advised, water and electronics don’t mix, don’t try this at home (or do, but don't blame me when you fry something)
You can use whatever scrap whoop and micro parts you have, but these are what designed mine to use:
The hull is printed vertically, with two perimeters and zero infil, zero support, resulting in a lightweight yet strong solid. Make sure that your print is watertight by printing hot, slow and possibly even overextruding. I chose to use PETG.
The intrepid should be able to build along from these files and photos, but you can find full instructions here on Instructables and more here on the NewBeeLabs blog, Facebook, Instagram and Youtube .
