I thought somewhere along the line on your build blog that I saw where David was doing the detailed work for your Skipjack! Kudos to both you and David...

"SUB" Ed,

I know you and I had a little misunderstanding a time ago (which I have forgotten) I just want to let you know I have...

[rwtdiver]

OK! Thank you so much David! That MSD that you gave is finally going to be put to use! I very much appreciate not only your generous gift, but the time...

David,

Is this the port side nipple you are referring to?



One end of the tube to this nipple and the other goes...

[rwtdiver]

David! Thank you so much for your time here!

Let me make be sure I understand you. (this seems to simple) The clear 1/8" tubing I have...

Thank you David! I found on of Bobs videos on the 3D printed Hunley build, it showed how he hooked up a tube to one of the deck snorkels!

This will actually be the first (the 1:77 scale Nautilus will be the second) real ballast system subs I have built! The other five where basic surface...

Well stated "SUB" Ed!

From a newbie submarine building "BUM"! Thank you David for all you do for us! Good and positive...

The major hull components are all printed out. In order to use the MSD that I am using on the Hunley I had to cut 2" from the ballast portion of...

[rwtdiver]

David! That Hunley project certainly needs your skilled hands to bring back to life! Great project!

David! Take care of yourself! I had open...

[rwtdiver]

Making more progress on the Hunley build! I have the main portion of the hull almost completed! The 2.5" MSD that I got from David M. was to long...

[rwtdiver]

Still making head way on the Hunley! I have four complete sections of the hull completed.



Just three more complete sections...

[rwtdiver]

Thank you David! This is most likely going to be a stupid question on my part!? Where is the ballast tank?

Hi Bob!

I did see both videos you have out on the Hunley. And based on the one that you showed in your pool I would be very happy with those...

Thanks Bob! I am very pleased with how the Hunley files are printing out! I am having just a small issue with the height (149.81mm) with my DREMEL 3D40,...

Steve!

Your Ender 3 Pro looks like it really does some great printing. Another big Columbia class boat! I spent $150.00 about 8 years ago...

[rwtdiver]

Thank for the explanation David! I see how it would certainly transfer the heat more evenly to both parts to be joined, especially with smaller slightly...
