    Looks like the default scaling is off. When I open the files the pieces are super small. Is it just me? Can you please re upload the files with the correct scale or add the length of each part to your post? Thanks! Looking forward to making one.

    Yeah, it's a limitation of Fusion exporting in mm vs inches

    Awesome!

    I can actually put all 3 hull sections on my Prusa i3mk3. Prints in around 24h

    Its a great ship, I'm actually considering printing it for model club kids that are interested. The WWCC may see a lot of tiny pesky little transports.

    @BigGunJeff, these transports are going to take over the RC Warship combat world.

    I'm not sure...

    Just whatever Prusa Slicer suggests as default. That's one of the reasons I like that printer so much... I hit print like I'm printing on a paper printer and it figures it all out for me.

    The only custom settings I worry about is how the model is oriented... Vertically. And how many perimeters... At least 3
