Age of Empires Trireme

thingiverse

Modeled in Fusion 360 from detailed screenshots of the Trireme/Juggernaut in Age of Empires 1. The recommended file to print is trireme_withsupports.stl; it features customized supports that have been thoroughly tested multiple times. Carefully remove the supports under the oars and shields using needle nose pliers, taking your time to avoid any damage. The support beneath the stern can be easily pried off with a flathead screwdriver. To remove the supports for the curvy overhang bits, twist them with pliers in Meshmixer. When printing with ABS, it's essential to have an extra tower to allow sufficient time for the layers in the last half of the mast to cool down completely. A comparison between two prints reveals a striking difference: one is made from ABS, while the other is crafted from PLA. A photograph showcasing numerous ships serves as a reminder of my extensive collection of failed attempts at printing this design.
