    What thickness do those of you who have shot their parts print at? working on the shimakaze hull while I wait for my plans to arrive and about halfway to cutting the windows out and prepping for printing now. will print the first test peice in abs but the actual may be made in Taulman bridge depending on how much mat it takes to build

    1.5mm wall thickness with 40% infill is plenty for DD superstructure, and you still want to hollow it out.

    For a ship of the line, 4mm.
