Can you generate an STL file from a 3D render?
CB-class midget submarine built for the Italian Navy during World War II. Displacement: 35.4 tons surfaced 44.3 tons submerged Length: 15.00 m (49.21 ft) Beam: 3.00 m (9.84 ft) Draught: 2.05 m (6 ft 9 in) Propulsion: 1 diesel engine, 1 electric - CB-class submarine - 3D model by Vadim Yurinov (@bartang)Make it simple, make strong, make it work!Comment

Depends on the quality of the file. Something that looks good on screen doesn't always translate well to a printed object.

OK Builders!
This question has been asked so many times, but here goes one more time. I am an 80 plus year old, I do somewhat understand TinkerCad at this point. But I would so much like to build a submarine or anything for that matter. But I would like to be able to design and set up my own STL files and build it.
Is there a fairly simple CAD (and free may be) CAD download that might be a good choice for an OLDER BRAIN? It is so complicated and maybe I am asking for too much! I would love to build the CB 20 Class submarine, but do it with files that I designed...
Thanks for the input.

Rob, with the things I see in the background in the DT meetings you print with a 3D printer, right? I have a X1C and intend to design and print things on it, no plans for a hull at this time of any kind. I installed Fusion 360 and will be using it to design model and other parts using it, then import it into the Bambu software to print it. In my opinion, and what I will do, is watch Youtube 101 videos on using Fusion 360 and Bambu Studio. If you have two monitors, one with the YT video and the other monitor do what they do, follow along, on the other monitor. To me that seems the quickest way to 'learn' the software. My two cents.
I can't say anything about Tinkercad, others may.Comment

Cutting the flat 1/2-inch blanks for the hull. Also cutting out paper templates of the sections....30 of them to glue to semi-soft maple1/2" thick blanks for the scroll saw.Last edited by Albacore 569; 01-26-2025, 07:36 PM.Comment

David, if you read this, acid etched deck with all the limper holes be possible?

I know researched all this for a possible project months/ even years ago. Using the useful rotating model as a guide if the cross sections cause a question. Really a wealth of information at my deposal gratefully.

About the acid-etched deck: No problem, no matter the depth or geometry of the holes -- the rubber glove will capture all. The bonus of doing the tool over a fully detailed master is that there is little 'detail' work on the eventual parts -- they already possess the detailing; the GRP hull parts will be entirely homogenesis; all one type of material with no breaks or cracking at seams between dissimilar materials as a consequence of different expansion rates do to temperature changes.
Pile on the details, Steve... you detail nut, you!

Yes, attach and fair in all the acid-etched detail parts to the hull and sail. Detail the **** out of your masters -- the tooling will capture and transfer all to the GRP parts.
