Added the ladder and some junction boxes. Fixture for the lamp and cabling, the the CAD model of the conning tower for my 1:35 Bronco XXIII submarine kit is done.

A Type XXIII submarine conning tower. Adding bits and pieces....speaking tubes, switch boxes, plugs and rheostates.A Type XXIII submarine conning tower. Adding bits and pieces....speaking tubes, switch boxes, plugs and rheostates.

Type XXIII submarine: That was a complicated one.....the cable pull mechanism of the periscope. The periscope was raised and lowered by a cable winch in the control room. The cable ran over various pulleys to the periscope. Intricate arrangement under the roof of the conning tower.

Thanks very much for posting the step by step progress on your CAD and 3D printed model interior. The level of research and effort that has gone into this project si very impressive.
Indeed one of the thing's of I've found very satisfying with CAD work is translating drawings, photos and often a bit of guesswork into a 3 dimensional model. As you note this often this takes a few iterations to get it right.
Out of curiosity what CAD software are you using?

Designing the hatches for my Txpe XXIII submarine project. Even with blueprints one can spend a few evenings to get them right...

Continuing with the interior and equipment of the torpedo room for my 1:35 Bronco XXIII

Still designing the Type XXIII interior. Putting the finishing touches on the ventilation ducts and the ventilation manifold for the batteries. During charging the batteries produced hydrogen that had to be removed by the ventilation system. So there were four tubes running above the battery cells that collected the hydrogen though tiny tubes that were connected to the collection tubes. Tedious work....

Still working on details of the interior of the Type XXIII for my 1:35 Bronco Kit....."Zentrale" with the dive plane controls.

Thank you very much for the return information! Again, can't say enough about your work!!

Amazing work. The many hours put into the CAD model really shows. Can’t wait to see more.

Originally posted by DrSchmidt View PostStill drawing the interior of the boat, but the bulk of the job is done. I'm currently I'm building a Star Wars diorama but when I'm through with it, the XXIII is next. And as I started up the 3D printer for the diorama project, I made a quick & dirty test print of the torpedo tubes. No optimization, just through the slicer and printed. I'm very pleased with the first result and with a little bit of optimization, I'm confident the end result will be good...
Not only is your CAD work total perfection! Your 3D Printing is superb! With all the detail in your project your supports would have to be right on the mark. May I ask what 3D Printer and the slicing software you are using? Amazing work you are doing. Tom asked a great question! It must take you hours to figure out the orientation on the print bed!? Very impressed with your work!!!
