My Projects

[biggsgolf]

My current project is 3D printing, assembling and converting to RC the USS Nautilus SSN571 STL File Package fromThe Nautilus Drydocks. Since I only run my Submarines in my pool I am scaling this model down to 80%. The bow torpedo hatches are very thin at 80% so I used Meshmixer to slice it and imported to Tinkercad so I could design the bow with closed torpedo hatches in the closed position, making it more durable.

Nice work Bruce!

I am amazed at what you are doing with Tinkercad. Looking forward to more photos of your build.

Looking awesome so far!

I'm doing a print of these files for Frank, scaled to 155%, so about 83" overall length.

He must like having a bad back.

Drive Shafts and control rods installed. Will replace the hatch, broke it off, lol

[biggsgolf]

Got the driveshafts working without friction, closed the hull gaps, threw some filler primer on her, next will sand with 400 grit and repeat

[biggsgolf]

Gap filling again, etc., control rods installed

Not sure if it's the camera angle but it looks like the port side shaft is more angled than the starboard side.
