Ok, printing underway, I will make adjustments to the original files as I go. Did some test prints and believe I will print the model at 894.96MM length.
Not sure how much of this build I will post, many, many files!

Not sure why the pic came out blurry!

After more testing, will print at 38.44" (1:100) as at a smaller size the walls are too thin

Printed example of the models details

Is this correct, painting inside the white lines blue/gray? Unsure if I need to extend farther forward?

Not sure if anyone is aware of this, but the files for this sub are on CGTraders

Can you tell us how many hours it took to 3-D this boat? Also, what was the percentage of bad prints that you had to start over?

Casey, not sure how many hours as many were determining how much I could reduce the files as I only run my boats in my pool. Once that was determined I had zero bad prints. Used mostly PLA then experimented with PETG.
