This model is principally based on the Washington State Department of Transportation’s [WSDOT] newest vessels - the Olympic-Class Ferries. But is primarily meant to represent the WSF fleet as a whole.
Certain details have been simplified, omitted, or exaggerated in order to best ensure reliability and ease of print. I’m very fond of Seattle's public transportation, and especially with these ferries; they’re always fun to be on; and they all have beautiful names - that honour tribes, peoples, and locations indigenous to the Puget Sound area.
Background
This was done partially as a personal challenge. I am quite slow when it comes to designing and iterating; so I wanted to start, and complete, a project that was both meaningful to me, my adoptive hometown; while also showing off some of the capabilities of FDM printing - specifically the Prusa MK4S.
Build Tips and Details
This model has a lot of fine details and small overhangs. I am decently satisfied with the tolerances and fit of the parts; but ensuring your printer and profiles are well tuned would help the process.
The model can be coloured [as shown in the sample prints] with a couple of manual filament layer swaps. No MMU is needed.
I recommend printing out all parts beforehand, and dry-fitting everything before final assembly.
You will need some super glue to attach the parts together

Naming Options
The Included stand has two spots to hold a nameplate; I have included nameplates for all four of the WSDOT's current Olympic-Class fleet [as of January 2026]:
M/V Chimacum
M/V Samish
M/V Suquamish
M/V Tokitae
THANKS & SUPPORT
Should you decide to print out this little homage to Seattle public transportation - I would love to see your makes of it; and I sincerely hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it!
