New Builds

I have changed careers and now have time to have a hobby again.

Ive started construction of a Graf Spee and have a brand new Bisamarck hull on the way!

 

Congratz! Spee is a good ship.

 

I have both the Graf Spee and Bismarck super structures in the resources to 3d print, if you were going that route.

 

I am very interested in that. 3D printing in general interests me. I haven't done any research on them but what are the popular ones to look at?

 

Honestly, an Ender3 is one of the best ‘bang for the buck’. All of my parts are cut up to print on one.

 

Nice. Ill check it out.

 

Can you melt down unused filament to be reused?

 

How does the filament handle when hit with a BB?

What program are you using to building the piece?

 

Yes, it's possible. To do it well you need some more equipment. There are DIY options or you could buy a Filastruder.

 

It depends. The type of filament, the temperature, and other print settings like infill type, infill percentage, infill-perimeter overlap, the number of perimeters, layer height, and extrusion multipliers all have an effect on the part's survivability.

 

So a lot of variables play a role.
