3D Printing Submariens and Sub Components

[redboat219]

Steve didn't you have a 1/96 scratchbuilt and 1/144 scale vacuform models of the Washington SSBN?

[RanSan]

George Washington Class, It's possible.

I ordered a printer on a whim from Creality and it turned out to be a mirror scam site. I hate it when I do stupid things. I should have looked more carefully at the URL as I usually do. I bothered me so much now I have a bad taste in my mouth for printers. I'll never get one now, almost didn't in the first place. But I have friends if I ever needed to have something printed. Meantime I have my 3D printer in my hands. Rob that looks great. Now do a Washington class and it will save me the trouble! LOL

[RCSubGuy]

Looking good so far!

BTW, I just purchased my first delta printer this morning to replace my exploded Anycubic Chiron. I think it will be much better suited to printing subs with long, thinner hulls. Should be here in a couple of weeks.

[SteveNeill]

Yep! Works for me! I learned this exact method from David 14 years ago.

Rob,
You are knocking out quickly. That is not a bad thing because it looks to me you are doing it right.
Excellent work and thank you for documenting it. It helps new and old time sub hobbyist!
Peace,
Tom

[SteveNeill]

That worked out great Rob!

[SteveNeill]

I see you got the power supply Rob. Great stuff. Great fun.

[SteveNeill]

Rob, unlike so many others, you GET THINGS DONE! This pleases me no end. Better this stuff wind up in your capable hands than the local land-fill.

Go get 'em, Tiger!

David

Yes indeed!

That's a 3d print? Whose is it? Looks real nice from this distance. <drool>

For a second there I thought you were talking about his big 688... you really would need a bigger shop for it! I have some 3d stuff I drew up and printed for mine, was going to offer, but it looks like his model is fairly complete. Lookin foward to your build log..

[SteveNeill]

I have always loved this boat! Good job Rob!

[SteveNeill]

Just so good. What more could I say? This is great modeling.

silicon oil (not grease).

Thanks David! I had the grease and not the oil, but good old amazon will have it to me tomorrow!
