USS Nautilus SSN-571 - 3D printed build

I would imagine the boat starts getting really tough to print at smaller scales. I found myself occasionally wishing I had done a larger scale as I got into the project. But I am married to it now.

Yes, especially the Shutter Rails. The outer ones were way too fragile. I decided I might have them closed. Wanted to print the Bow with the shutters in place. The Bow alone was too complex for Tinkercad, so used Meshmixer to create 36 separate files. Imported these to Tinkercad and re assembled the Bow.

Absolutely very tough to print and to work with the model due to it's complexity. I have a few months of first hand experience on that front, and I had the step file.

What kind of printer are you using for this project? And is it possible to make this 1/96?
