Hi Steve,

Another possible source for your i-400 would be Thingiverse!





I went with 125% file size which maxed out my Dremel "Z" 170mm! You might check it out. Use rc submarine and it will be on the first page!

Steve,

That thing is epic Pal! Nice job getting it done! It is impressive to say the very least. I can only image the numbers of hours and spools of filament it took to finish this boat. Can’t wait to see the build! Hey look squirrel!!!!

I will finish it. Almost done printing. Just have the bow and missile hatches left. Next up on the printer will be another 1/6th Seehund and then a 1/6th Hecht. Neither sub is for me. I evetually want to print a Seawolf, an Alvin, an Ohio and an I-400 along with some others.

All I can say is, that will be cool! I am just about finished building my last two 3D printed boats. The Russinan Alfa 1:72 scale and the German XXl U-2540. I just have a few more hull sections and they will be completed. My 12'X12' hobby room is full! I have saved a special place for my final build, and that is the Arkmodel 1:48 scale German Vll boat and WTC that I just ordered from Bob.

Steve, I do hope you will provide us all with photos and your build information on your new upcoming boats! I for one really enjoy your builds! "HAPPY NEW YEAR"

You have come so far with it Steve, I hope you and Randy can get those files squared away! It would be a sham if you could not finish it.

Thanks Rob. At this point I have lost track on how many hours it has taken. At this scale I had some issues with the files printing in their stock condition. Randy Sanders has helped with some different files but then I lost a couple parts due to something that really had me puzzled initially causing me to have to change how I printed the parts and as a result I gave up trying to keep up with it. I have been printing it on and off since 9/28.
