    1/144 Nautilus Typhoon 3d printed

    Hi everybody,

    i'm begining to print the Nautilus Drydocks Typhoon in 1/144.
    I use an Ender 3 printer with PLA+. I have place a new bed (magnetic PEI). This bed work very well !
    I use the software "Cura" and the default profile for the Ender 3 and PLA with some changes :
    -bed heating : 70 °C
    -print temperature : 220°C
    -infill : 100%
    -layer height : 0.2mm
    I have begin with small parts. I will place pictures when a hull part is printed.
    sorry if there are any mistakes. I speak only French and I write just a little English​.

      Hello Rob, when I will be further in the project I will have questions for you because I also want to print my wtc caps like you.​
      I started to learn how to use freecad. This is not obvious​ !!

        No problem,

        When you are ready, I will help all I can! You will find a great deal of help on this forum and from some REAL masters at sub building!

              Bondo is a brand that is produced by 3M. Could be that it's only sold under that name in the US, but of course you can get 3M 2k polyester putty in Europe as well:



              Any other good qiality 2k polyester putty sold in your local hardware store or even better professional paint shop will do the job, too.

                Thank's.

                actually, I look at the polyester fillers used in car bodywork (two components with hardener)​
                I had a little sagging too.

                  it will remain hull 7B and hull 8
                  It takes a long time to print.
                  I am on my third spool of 1kg of PLA​

                    small printing problem. On the parts hull 5b, hull 6b and hull 7b, I have the circled part that detaches from the hull. I will have to glue them.​

                      Hi Frank,

                      As I recall on my first build of the Typhoon using Nautilus Drydocks files, I had a similar situation! I just cleaned up that area and reattached with a quality medium CA. Worked out well for me!

                      I wish I could have finished my Typhoon! I got about half way through the build and somehow (old age) lost my files. I really want to build the Typhoon, so I got a hold of Bob, and he sent me another set of files at no charge! Nautilus Drydocks (Bob & Jason) are really great when it comes to quality parts and go out of their way to help you with your submarine builds!

                      Keep printing away with your Typhoon, and do not get discouraged with the process!

                          I had the exact same issue with hull sections 5, 6 and 7 - in fact on two of them it didnt print anything at all for those parts. I just printed a bunch of replacement "bars" and glued them on. Don't know what slicer you're using but I used Chitubox initially. I never reprinted these sections sliced with Lychee so dont know if it was a slicer issue or not.

                              Then, I had to make changes to parts 2 and 3 so that they fit together.​
