🚤 Balloon Boat V2

The Balloon Boat V2 combines a sleek racing boat design with an improved construction for even more fun on the water. Thanks to the removable balloon nozzle, various balloon sizes can be used, while the optimized exhaust channel ensures a longer travel time

Simply inflate a balloon, attach it, and watch the boat glide across the water solely by the escaping air

The Balloon Boat series ultimately originated from a simple idea to print a pool toy for my daughter and an earlier wooden model

💡 Notes

For optimal print results, I recommend using a textured PEI plate. The print plate should be thoroughly cleaned with dish soap or isopropanol before printing

Smaller balloons generally work best and provide a good balance between speed and travel time
