Counting matching models…
It is heartbreaking to snap off the mast removing supports so I have sadly had to make the mainsheet very thick and fillet the base of the mast. Don't print it small if using supports. I have added an unassembled version. When I started…
I try to keep supports to a minimum, none on the sails above the foot. Printing smaller is very difficult. I added a version with both hulls touching the water that is easier to print for some.
I only use supports up to the bottom of the sails. There is a thick support on the corner that I snip off after removing the generated supports to reduce the risk of breaking the mainmast. I like the look when painted with opaque acrylic…
I like the look when painted with opaque acrylic - the print layers look like wood grain.
Supports needed on the bottom of additions. I added a fatter sail version that prints better.
Improved the one piece models for strength. The Fireball Dinghy is a favourite. When I started printing I was disappointed by the lack of detailed models of small sailboats. In particular few but professionals make a serious attempt at a…
I use organic supports but keep them off the sails except for the lower edge. There are also supports from the boom to the water the boom to snip off. I usually add a tiller extension after printing.
Added sails for a model of RC sailboat
I print it with supports up to the boom. FD2025a file has thinner sails, I opened the slot at the top of the jib, and gave the sailors wet weather gear.
it prints well in PETG on my PRUSA MK4 with no support except on the ring.
I use minimum number of organic support but none on the sails above the lower edge.
These are all currently available results.
