FAQs
Q: What are the main features of the MakerKit RC?
Q: What are the main features of the MakerKit RC?
A: MakerKit RC focuses on “RC driving and DIY design” – the car body and boat hull are fully 3D printed by the user. We provide the hardware components and an optional remote controller, and support an open community where users can upload, download, and iterate on their own designs.
MakerKit RC is ideal for users who enjoy creating custom designs, want a highly personalized model, and are eager to engage deeply with the open-source community. More MakerKit product types will be released in the future.
Q: What if I don't have a 3D printer? Can I still use this product?
Q: What if I don't have a 3D printer? Can I still use this product?
A: Unfortunately, you need at least a standard desktop 3D printer for private use in order to print the chassis, the hull, and other 3D-printed exterior and structural parts.
Q: Which filaments do I need to buy?
Q: Which filaments do I need to buy?
-
For body/structural parts:
We recommend PLA+, PLA+ 2.0, PETG, ABS, or stronger engineering materials for sufficient structural strength. (Standard PLA is also possible, but less stable.) -
For tires and bumpers:
TPU (flexible material) is recommended. Alternatively, separate rubber tires can be used for better grip. -
For the boat hull:
Use waterproof materials and ensure additional sealing (recommended: silicone sealant or epoxy resin coating).
Q: What is the difference between the Complete Edition and the Basic Edition? Can I buy the remote control separately? Can I use my own remote control?
Q: What is the difference between the Complete Edition and the Basic Edition? Can I buy the remote control separately? Can I use my own remote control?
A: For both versions (RC car and RC boat), the Complete Edition includes a remote control, whereas the Basic Edition does not. All other contents are identical.
Currently, the remote control is not sold separately, and we do not recommend using third-party remote controls. We recommend purchasing the Complete Edition with the official remote control.
Q: Will you be adding more official STL models?
Q: Will you be adding more official STL models?
A: Yes. We will continue to add new official STL files for cars and boats. Furthermore, we encourage users and players to upload their own designs.
Q: Are the remote controls and spare parts packages for the RC car and the RC boat interchangeable?
Q: Are the remote controls and spare parts packages for the RC car and the RC boat interchangeable?
A: No. The drivetrain, sealing requirements, and design differ between cars and boats. We have developed specific remote controls and spare parts packages for each category. Both are fun, so please choose the product that meets your needs.
Q: Is the receiver waterproof?
Q: Is the receiver waterproof?
A: The standard receiver is not waterproof – it is only splash-proof. If you are designing or assembling a remote-controlled boat, we recommend that you make it waterproof yourself.
Q: How long does the printing process take?
Q: How long does the printing process take?
A: Assuming you have a printer, printing a single car takes about 10 to 22 hours (including the frame, body, and tires). The actual duration depends on your settings for layer height and print speed.
