Great Summer Project! Design your own paddle wheel in TinkerCAD

Crafting a Water-Craft

Looking for something to use your new 3D printer for? How about learning a bit about boating while creating your own paddle wheel boat. Craft a boat out of whatever free material you can find. I am making mine from styrofoam.





Use TinkerCAD to create a basic paddle wheel like I show you in this video.



Once you have it assembled, give it a test. Then get to work creating a different option so you can compare the effect of more blades, or blade shape or whatever creative ideas you come up with.



When you are done, share your results with us here in the comment section. Thanks for reading, and have a fun filled summer!
