RC scale German Battleship Bismarck

thingiverse

The great KMS Bismarck by TheFoxInTheBox begged to be made into an RC version. While the size was great, the portions needed to be sliced to fit my Ender 3 and Elegoo Saturn, so just thought I would share the work. Bismarck was the first of two Bismarck-class battleships built for Nazi Germany's Kriegsmarine. Bismarck and her sister ship Tirpitz were the largest battleships ever built by Germany, and two of the largest built by any European power. The 3mf file contains all parts grouped for easy separation. Each stl file is each piece that should fit on most larger scale printers. Many of the small details (railing, rigging, etc. ) will obviously not print, but my experience has been when printing the deck portions in resin these do not impeded the printing and only some minor cleanup is needed. Overall she measures about 950mm or just over 37" long. This is another in my series of collecting RC suitable warships, but I will probably not start this print project for sometime. My method is to FDM print the hull and all other parts are resin printed. Recommend to use the 3mf file in 3D Builder to slice into sections to fit on your printer, as needed, unless the stl sectioned files will work. 2/16/2022 - Edited Hull 5 stl file to make cut-outs for prop shafts and separated two rudders.
