1/200 Scale Japanese Destroyer 3D Print Project
Ready to print the bow section again!
The STL has been dropped into Chi Tu Box and readied for printing.
You’ll notice that I used the “Dig Hole” tool to punch some holes in the model for the excess resin to drain out. This is necessary because I hollowed the model so as to use less material.
A side note… Removing the antenna structure from the nose also had the added benefit of reducing the print time by almost 2 hours.
New print is underway!
You’ll also notice that I placed the model on the print bed a little differently than with the first print. I did this in case I should happen to get the same odd defect in the deck. Placing the model a little differently will cause the defect to be in a different location if the LED screen is going bad.
I chose to try without supports again, even though the last print should have had supports for the anchors. But since I greatly thickened the anchor shafts, I’m hoping that supports will not be necessary this time.
