Nautilus Drydocks - Yesterday's work

Yes Resin printers can print boat and Sub hulls. Please note you need a mid and large 3D resin printer to do it right. A few people on ebay are selling whole RC subs printed in Resin. It looks like someone in China bought a Engel 212A Model Submarine from Germnay and had it shipped to China and when they got it, they laser scanned it and scanned it other ways to make a Printable model and printed it in resin to sell. Here is one of the sellers:

Bob sorry posted too quickly, yes resin printers.

[coryhenry]

Bob, not necessarily. Just wondering what PLA printer you are using and having success. If you are using epoxy that would be interesting as well but I think it might be too brittle.

[Sinksalot]

Bob, I Don't know if you have addressed this elsewhere. What printer do you use and what material? Has anyone used a epoxy printer for sub hulls?

Are you talking about Resin 3D printers?

Has anyone used a epoxy printer for sub hulls?

Not seen such an animal.

Thanks Bob. Anyone know how many missile hatches are operable?

[RCSubGuy]

I just received the files late last night. I'm going to assemble them in CAD over the next day or so and begin the (long) process of printing the prototype. I anticipate that this will likely take around a week to complete. She's a big boat!

I can tell you with a considerable amount of certainty the files will be 47.799” length and a beam of 6.417” beam. From keel to top of sail will be 7.175”, the props will be shrouded and it will fit a 3.75” cylinder.

Thank You Very Much for the confirmation. Any pictures of an assembled typhoon of that spec.?

A general question about the Typhoon Files. Just thinking ahead, if they are set to 1/144 scale, by my math, would that work out to 47.8" Long x 6.29" Beam ?

Can anyone confirm that?
Thanks

[george]

Forgot to ask you, will your Typhoon have the shrouded props?
Looking forward to this file sale.

[george]

ah boy!!!!! The hook is getting set deeper.

Can you share with us the release date of the file?

Thanks

Maaaaaybeeee.......

Hi Bob
Will the Typhoon file have the option of a few missile hatches to be opened or closed for missile launches?

I think that's where the model engineering, a Dremel and some files comes in ?
