    Needed buoyancy, got some foam from Home Depot started to cut and hack some shapes - what a mess so I decided to print some blocks. Still experimenting, ordered some sealer to coat shells and hopefully prevent leakage.

      "Diving Officer mind your bubble!" OOPS - no room for lead ballast.

        Added saddle tanks to hull shell for single print, left room for lead ballast down bottom center.

        Experimental prints in terra cotta red filament, cheap and prints very nicely.

        My bolt together hull sure makes it easy to experiment with changes.

          Ordered some of this miracle stuff to seal prints. See how it goes.
