Hobie 14 Turbo Catamaran Model

These files were used to create a scale model of a Hobie 14 catamaran. The file titles should be self-explanatory for the most part.  The hulls are cut in half lengthwise in order to print flat on the bed. The top and bottom should be super glued together and then much post processing is required such as grinding, filing and sanding to obtain the proper shape.  The Port hull top can be created from a mirror image of the Stbd top. Not everything you need is here as I never kept a proper record of things. For example, the mast. It was printed in two sections as it was too long for the print bed. Created a little plug on one end of one section and a hole for the plug in the other section. It fit together nicely. The curvature of the front beam was made by the application of some heat. I used PLA for everything. I suppose if you want to model the 16 you could just scale up the parts appropriately. You need to really want a model to tackle this. It took me many hours over two months to complete but I think the end result made it all worth it.
