The fastest i have printed this is 39mins with x1c on standard 0.2mm profile.

It has been designed for 0.4mm nozzles and 0.25mm (maximum detail)  but will print with 0.6mm.

16/02/2025 -  Boat floats great with bottom 8mm at 50 percent infill ( add height range modifier at 6-8mm with 50 percent infill )

05/02/2025 -  added a larger 3DBeaver Named “MM calibration 3dbeaver.stl”

This model has been enlarged with the aim to enable caliper measurement of a few areas to aid in calibration of x,y,z printer axis.

The measurements listed below are only applicable to the file labelled “MM calibration 3dbeaver.stl”

Please see images  for “MM calibration 3dbeaver.stl” points of caliper measurement.
