<p>This is a small model ROV that someone at work asked me to print. It is a scale down version of our new work class vehicle - the Typhoon Mk4 (tmtrov.com). For me this was my first proper 3D print project! :) It has a lot of small parts and fine detail, and I had only 18 hours to print and deliver it. A big jump up from printing the included frog and whistle. Haha!</p> <p>It was a super fun model to cut my teeth on as a newbie 3D printer. Was about 12-16 hours of 3D printing all up.</p> <p>Big shout out to my colleague Michael Wolfe who did the hard work of scaling the real ROV 3D model. I added some bling, created the manips, and redesigned thrusters whilst the body was printing.</p> <h3>Print instructions</h3><p>I made my own support for the thruster props that twisted off, which was pretty cool. This is why they have a big disc in front of the prop in the model.</p> <p>I manually swapped the filament to change the colour from grey to yellow on the main body. Still haven't assembled my MMU! :)</p> <p>The manipulators were my first time using supports and I was surprised and pleased at how easily they separated from the tiny intricate parts.</p> <p>Had one issue with Filamentum metallic grey filament where it had a tangle from the messy factory spooling. Thankfully I was sitting next to the printer and heard the squeaking as it pulled tight. I stopped, and had to unravel about 10 wraps to fix the issue.</p> <p>All the other filament was Prusament - which was AMAZING! Such a contrast to other brands in terms of the precise coiling on the spool.</p> <p>The only issue I had with the print quality was underside of the overhang on the nose bouyancy. I got sever sagging and separation &amp; ended up pausing the print, trimming away the straggles of filament, and adding some tape to give the filament a temporary support.</p> <p>Otherwise came out really well - first print for all parts was successful.</p>
