Hello,
I got my first printer 4 months ago (building my third now) and I created a 3d printable outboard motor for rc watercraft (boats). I think it is a cool thing, and I think others might like it as well.

I posted it to a couple places (reddit/rcgroups.com) but got minimal feedback. I don't want to be annoying about it and post everywhere in the internets. So the advice I'm asking for is how can I promote this to a larger audience? It is open-source so I expect no financial gain (I already have a job and if this became work I probably wouldn't like it anymore).
My honest hope is to get some people interested that are smarter than me that can help me understand how to improve it. I believe it is running at around 50% potential performance (wild guess that I had to stand up from my chair to pull out).
I also think it has potential to be modified with more exotic propulsion systems and I would LOVE to see/be a part of that.
Either it sucks and I'm delusional and people are too nice to tell me the truth. Or it is just white noise amongst all the other awesome designs that are coming out.
I thank you for your time, and any advice I might receive. Have an awesome day and may your filament stick with precision.
Ken (aka MakeShift)
