These files will allow you to print your own hull of this unique boat. This model was designed for fairly easy and straightforward assembly. Part locations are easily identified. Hull access is achieved via the removable upper deck, drafted in such a manner that the upper hull and nose is one piece, and the lower hull and stern is another, often referred to as a “z-cut”.
Model Specifications (as drafted):
Length: 864 mm
Width: 132 mmHeight: 266 mm (to top of masts)
Volume: Approximately 800 cubic cm without supports. Allocate just over 1 spool of 1kg filament to complete the print.
The hull was designed so that a 3” diameter cylinder, such as the Nautilus Drydocks 300 Series SubDriver with the 3.75” diameter tank option, would fit perfectly.
