Homebuilt ROVs Forum

I love the simplicity of your design but it also provides everything you need. Also the idea of using a lot of 3D-printed parts. I did the same in my ROV.
Hopefully the PVC pipes can hold the pressure. They dare not made for pressure from outside.

Keep on. It looks very promising.

Is this answering your question?

I have just a few pictures. I forgot to take more pictures during the build process. :oops: First my first 3D printed thruster. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-_FLJUd7-0so/WAi-hhKNYGI/AAAAAAAAAMc/hP8s4yGrQ5s/s640/1476967856947.jpg The frame is made of polypropylene and a few stainless steel bolts...

After a long period of practicing other hobbys, working and a lot of family time I was able to finish my third homebuild ROV. My new ROV has some new features: - 6-thruster design for lateral movement - very small and easy transportable in one case - one axis gimbal for camera movement and compensat...

You should replace the LED. In this position it will cause glare in your dome.
Maybe a bit more to the front or better two lights, one on each side. As far away from the dome as possible.

You are on a good way. Can´t wait to see some pictures of your build!

I would recommend https://hobbyking.com/

They have a EU warehouse in the netherlands and you can get everything you need for very good prices.

Maybe something like this?

After a long time of repairs and trouble with my electronics a new video of wreckdiving in a lake. The wrecks were at 6 and 12 m depth.

New Footage of my ROV.
Second part of the video is made by night.

I use the same SSC. Its very easy to handle. If you need Arduino code, this is all you need for basic function: Serial2.write(255); --- start byte Serial2.write(3); --- channel (0-7) Serial2.write(128); --- servo position value (0-254) The compass is not the cheapest one but it might be a good way i...
