Bezier Boat

prusaprinters

<p>So, what are Bezier curves good for if you're not going to do much with them?</p> <p>This thing is a simple boat created out of Bezier surfaces. I define a bow, and a midship section, and a stern, then just stitch a few of them together. In the picture can be seen how the control mesh looks.</p> <p>This particular one shows how you have to print in a couple of halves and bring them together. This is an artifact of the linear extrusion offered by the OpenScad bezier library.</p> <p>This model takes about 3 minutes to generate the .stl from the .scad. Not too bad.</p> <h3> Instructions</h3> <p>1) Load the .stl into your favorite slicer<br/> 2) Size appropriately<br/> 3) Print<br/> 4) Rejoice!</p> <p>You can print in individual sections and glue together if you like.</p> <p>You can also change things like the width and height fairly easily, and of course, you can make it as long as you like by adding more 'midships' sections.</p> Category: Other
