What will you get?

CPS 5 Course is the world’s first DIY course on underwater drones.

Bill Of Materials

A complete list of every component needed for the underwater drone build, with online source links.

3D Models

STL files, GCODEs for Prusa 3D printers as well as CAD files for modeling programs.

Assembly Manual

Easy to follow instructions explaining how to build the CPS 5 underwater drone from scratch.

Video Lessons

Educational videos explaining the engineering behind all of our design decisions.

13 Chapters

Knowledge divided into 13 sections, each one covering the next part of the drone, with the final assembly at the end.

Our Support

We care about your progress in the course, that’s why we help you with your build either directly or in a discussion section located in every lesson.

What will you build?

CPS 5 (Custom Printed Submarine) is a fully functional, 3D printed underwater drone. All of the components cost ~$700 (+VAT in EU).

85 meters Depth

We’ve tested CPS 5 up to simulated pressure of 85 meters underwater. It’s possible with our own watertight endcap design.

3D Printed

The majority of the drone is 3D printed – the entirety of the shell, propellers, mounts as well as water-proof endcaps.

Fast & Maneuverable

With top speed of 2m/s, CPS 5 is really maneuverable. It also has active self-leveling, which we test in the video below:

Live Video Feed

QGroundControl app which displays all of the data and the 1080p live video feed from the drone’s camera onboard.
