It isn't printed yet, but as you can see from the length that it is about 3/4 meter in length. It is partitioned as shown in the picture. I hope to build a RC version that can go get errant sailboats. It is a nice subject, there seems to be a lot of little tent like structures on the pictures of the boats on your blog that I would like to know more about. Thanks for posting this nice bit of work.
@LenR_449072 Hi, thank you! Yes, private owners tend to add tents at the rear for tourists and passengers. I don't think it's COTS, everyone makes it from what's available in the workshop. If you want to make it RC, beware that you'll probably need to add space in the hull for motors, batteries etc. Currently it's solid.
@positron After slicing the hull into four pieces it was hollowed out to 3 mm thickness and the infill was set to 3% 3DHex which has worked well with regard to stiffness on my RC planes done with light weight PLA. I was thinking this would work better in PETG, Any interior stuff for motor and steering will be added to the model. The hull shape looks very nice for a fairly uniform draft.
Printed first one with some PLA I had available. More will follow, then with filament in the right colors. Thanks for sharing this model! I really like this modular approach!
(I had to adjust the alignment on the printbed on several parts, there is a little room for improvement :-) (edited)
@eSeL Thank you very much! If you use a slicer with variable height option, I suggest to use smaller layer for tank cap (I used 0.08mm and 0.2 for the rest of the tank. And 0.08 for framework)
@positron Variable layer heigth is a good idea for this model!
I use PrusaSlicer so it is available.
I used it in the past for other models, but was not happy with the results.
But with this tank it makes really sense!
Awesom Model printed with PLA from extrudr. Nice to mount, easy to print. Great work.
@Zwanzger They look very good!
This is a slightly older version of the design, the current one has more details in brakes
