Traditional Mediterranean Fishing Vessel (Gozzo)

thingiverse

This traditional fishing vessel is known as a "Gozzo" and can be seen in eastern Sicily, Italy. The file for this model has been exported at a scale of 1/24 but can easily be converted to any other scale using the slicer software, where it was printed at a scale of 1/35. Printing without supports works well in most cases, but there is still room for improvement. To avoid difficulties with internal support removal, I choose not to use them inside the boat's hull. Instead, some external supports can be added to the flat areas of the model for better stability. The smallest version of this vessel measures approximately 4.20 meters in length. Larger models, typically around 5 meters long, are more common and feature a separate internal engine for propulsion. My goal is to create additional designs that showcase the various types of traditional fishing vessels.
