Rework of the 1:500 multi colour, multi plate model I originally made to allow it to be printed in a single colour, at smaller scale and in one go, rather than as separate parts.

Designed using Fusion 360 from ship deck plans, photographs and videos.

See this video for background info on the design process.

Printing Instructions:

3mf file included will only load into Bambu Studio or Orca Slicer.

Printed time on a Bambu Lab X1C around 7.5hrs at 0.2mm Layer Height, 0.4mm Nozzle, 15% Gyroid infill, Supports turned off.

Model fits on a 256x256 plate if rotated to 45 degrees.

All test prints also done with the full brim.

Untested Prusa Slicer Prusa MK3s 0.20 Quality estimated print time 19h 32m.

Quite a few changes were required to get the model to print successfully at this scale - some parts are very thin at this scale - so are unlikely to work is scale further reduced.

Some extra supports have been added to the STL model to allow it to be printable - these can be snipped off or left in place - most noticeable areas of extra supports are:

1. Radar tower at front - 3 extra small posts in the centre to hold it up, plus extra bits of the sides of the top bar
2. Rear bar that overlaps side of ship - 2 extra support bars added each side.
3. Various extra supports at the back, and under front canopy.

NB/ The front bridge supports are in the real ship - so should not be removed - however they are slightly thicker - so I guess could be cut off and replaced with thinner sections.

A Bambu Lab specific full colour version at this scale is available on another site.
