Homemade hoverboard

[MAKE BELIEVE]

This is my cheap homemade version of the hoverboard (sadly is not lenticular, but when I made it - some time ago - couldn't fine lenticular ones). The base is wood. Opinions are very welcome.

Very nice budget build.

I need to make one of these some day!

Thanks. Guess that's what you could call a "low cost" prop :lol

That is cool and what I need to do after I complete the shoes.

How long or wide is the HB? I have vectors for it, just not sure if I need to scale and if so, how much?

The dimensions for the HB should be around 28" x 8" with 1" thickness, but I think you can get away with 1/2" for a budget build.

Great budget build, Make Believe!

... I have vectors for it, just not sure if I need to scale and if so, how much?

If you are using my vector files, then you don't need to do any size corrections. If you print them in original size, the decals should fit on a board with the dimensions 28 ½ × 8 inches. That's the exact size of the stunt board, which was sold last year on "Profiles in History".

Excellent, thank you Roland. Yes I believe the file I have is yours.

Was it the one I sent you cavx?

If so, then it is Roland's and the dimensions are great

Are you going with the office works method I suggested or did you find a better way?

 

[cavx]

Office Works for the first one.

Ok cool

I wanna see how you progress cos although I like my 1st attempt, Im not content with it and would love to find out better ways to make the board

I really want to make one of these for my daughter, she is a huge BTTF fan. Where do I find the printable files to make one of these? Is it something that is available online or do you need to buy the file or the printed finished product?

The print will cost you of course, but the files are for free. Look here:
