The spotting deck platform has now been designed and 3D printed and has been designed to fit directly into the upper section. After a 5 hour print time and all the supports removed the part was given a little clean up around the edges to ensure a snug fit. All that’s needed now is the…
Spotting Deck
Another job underway is the creation of the Spotting Deck on the main mast, which has been designed using a CAD program and then the file converted in to a printing file. As you will see from the images below the top half of the deck has been created by using 3D printing. The next…
3D Structure
The first of a number of 3D printed structures are now starting to take shape.It only took a few hours of drawing the part in a CAD program, followed by converting it to a file suitable for 3D printing. All these parts are made using high end UV cured resin printers. The following images show…
Side Casemates Update
The building of the model is starting to gain speed with the side casemates being fitted today. There are two designs one for the front one and another for the rest of the side, and with a little bit of sanding to ensure we have a nice clean fit. The next job will be a…
Funnel Print
It was a brilliant day with the first of many larger parts being printed, this is the funnel. It was printed in two parts, the main body of the funnel and then the top vent. The complete funnel stands at just under 120mm (5 inches). The whole job took around 20 hours complete with the…
3D Printed Winches
The first of many of the fittings were designed and printed using our liquid resin printers. By using this type of printer it allows us to produce parts with finer details and due to very thin layers none or very little banding. Below is an image of the cable winches made from white resin using…
Funnel CAD Drawing
Today we finished the basic design for the funnel, and spliting the part into two sections (Blue funnel body and yellow steam pipes, and the green top with red mesh), we will 3D print this item once we have done a little more research to esure we have caprutred all the correct information. Funnel design…
Side Casemates
Today we spent time working on the design of the side casemates which were designed in a CAD program and then 3D printed in liquid resin to get the best finish when fitted and painted.These parts were printed using FunToDo black resin and on a Anycubic Photon printer. CAD drawing. 3D printed parts awaiting a…
