Just for the sake of a sense of scale, here is as much of a knock up that I can do now until more parts finish printing.

Joe the Plaguemarine is back.

I've just had an idea.

I've got clear casting resin.

I MIGHT MAKE UP A BASE FOR THIS... AND DO A RESIN POUR.... AROUND THE BOAT....

🤪

Lookin' chonky! I'm planning to do a base around my boat too, except I don't have any resin, so I'll be following this tutorial. Should let me get some nice froth and wave effects around the hull.


Just out of curiosity, are the paddle handles deliberately "fun sized"? :p

No, Goliaths are very strong and can paddle with one hand so f**k off 🤣🤣

If you actually go onto TinkerCAD you'll see that i fixed those at the same time I fattened up the paddles LOL

It's a good video on making water effects easily!

I did something similar years ago when I first tried OSL using toilet paper and glue to make the lava flows:

What layer height are you using?
Looks like you got that ender 3 pro dialed in!

Magic number on Ender 3 Pro is 0.04, so I'm running 0.16mm layer height.

Ironing is turned on, speed 50mms and I use tree supports as the Cura supports are lethal.....
 
Ok cool, ironing was my second question :)
Great motivation to get my done and pull the trigger on a printer. Was thinking ender 5+ but undertaker makes a great point about large prints.

Plus the ender 3 pro has so much support for it it can do anything.
 
Depends on your definition of large.

Using Tinkercad is easy and you can easily break down into smaller printable sections, which as you can see here from my now assembled Goliath Barge... is simple!

To give you an idea...

Engine block
Side panels with wheels
Front half of base plate with ramp
Back half was printed in quarters.

Mounting it on a foam core base.

I felt the need for some DIY after a bummed out few days. So... some scrap wood later and the Studio/Workshop now has a porch on it. Meaning I can have the door open...

... even in the rain. One might even say... ESPECIALLY in the rain!!

Lessons learned from today....

  1. Don't do this alone. Its harder than it looks.
  2. Don't do it in the rain. The aluminium stepladders get slippery.
  3. Don't do it on the rain on slippy stepladders in flip-flops. The slippy factor increase is exponential.
  4. Swear, a lot. It helps.
 
Very nice. If you keep extending your shed like that soon it will take over the garden and merge into the house. And you'll find yourself sitting in your den and blaming it all on @Space Truckin for getting you started! :LOL:
