The making of the ship hull
Now that the design looks under control, I first printed the hull of the ship on my 3D printer. The ship will measure 37cm in length while the capacity of my Prusa printer is only 25cm. No problem: I simply “cut” the hull in two pieces on the computer and printed the pieces separately. In fact this is how real ships are built: in pieces that are then welded together. In my case I simply used epoxy glue to join them; I used a second coat reinforced with fiberglass to ensure a strong hull. Things can get rough on the high seas…
