This toy fits LEGO figures and can float on water. It is great for playing in the pool or bathtub. All elements are very easy to print even for begginers. All parts are ready to print on the smallest 3D printers (min. required printing area 80\*80\*75 mm). All our toys are designed to be fun, they have many interesting functions: opening doors, hatches, holds. You can print and build toys together with your children - there are many parts and screws that give a lot of fun. To see more of our projects see: https://www.printed-toys.com ### Needed parts or materials (suggested, you can use other matches parts) * glue (nedeed to glue 2 stern elements) * 2 very short teflon tubes (2 mm inner diameter, 4 mm outer) to seal the propeller shaft and rudder * 4 sets M2.5x6 screw+nut * 28 pieces M2.2x6.5 screw (DIN7981) * 1 metal rod for propeller shaft (2 mm diameter, 40 mm length) * 1 metal rod for rudder shaft (2 mm diameter, 90 mm length) * several short pieces of filament 1.75 mm for hinges ### Introduction * We recommend using PLA filament, nozzle 0.4 mm and layer height 0.2 mm, but you can test other settings. * All files are in print-ready positions, you don't have to rotate it on your slicer. * Print all elements with 100% filling, except for the lifebuoy.stl (25% filling). * You will find all wheelhouse windows in the windows-all.stl file, but you can print each one separately from window-***.stl files. * There are two versions of propeller: propeller-real.stl and propeller-easy.stl. The first version has real shape but is difficult to print, the second version is very easy to print but after printing you have to put it in hot water and manually bend the propeller blades. * Glue the two parts of the stern (hull-stern-A.stl and hull-stern-B.stl) firmly together, check carefully for holes. * After placing the propeller and rudder shafts check the hull is not leaking. * If the shafts are leaking you can use oil or grease. * If the hull leaks you can paint or varnish it. * Short ships may need to be trimmed by the stern. Before screwing down the deck you can use some ballast to balance the ship. * Use pieces of filament 1.75 mm to attach doors and hatches. ### See Post-Printing video for full assembly instructions ### If you would like to support me... * just buy something in my shop https://www.printed-toys.com (You pay what you want!) :)
