U.S.S. North Carolina

Not my original file. I got this from blackrice000 here - https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3157734 and altered it. I sliced it originally into 3 parts and the middle (hull 2) with the deck and superstructure was impossible to do. Instead of wasting hours of time and hundreds of grams of filament I just took hull 2 and sliced it into more pieces in Tinkercad. I'm just uploading the sliced version I made in case anyone else is looking to print it as well. I scaled it down to 1% originally when importing it into Tinkercad because its scale is ridiculous normally. Not even a single balcony in the superstructure fit in my build area. For my personal print (which turned out great) I scaled it up 216% in Cura once I was done in Tinkercad. I highly recommend a similar scale or higher because even with "print thin walls" enabled parts of the model (however slight) were missing or poorly printed. I also made some repairs in tinkercad while I was slicing it. The turrets initially refused to print the base where the barrel met the turret so I put a cone in there and grouped it. I could barely tell it was there in Tinkercad and it looked different in the g.code from the other unaltered barrels. I also made the deck level with some triangles and rectangles because it sloped down in the original STL which didn't match with the North Carolina I was cross-referencing in World of Warships. I also added a few shapes here and there to improve structural integrity and whatnot. Hope you enjoy! PS: Glue will be required to assemble the printed pieces. I'm not good enough with Tinkercad yet to attempt integrating pegs and after hours of getting this to work already I just didn't have the patience left to try. Maybe I'll try next time if I ever do this again.
