USS Independence LCS-2/4

thingiverse

I made a revised version of the LCS Independence class model by crinard to make it easier to print in small models and other modifications. I made most of these changes in Fusion 360, then cleaned them up in Blender (first time using both). Printed at 16% scale and came out great except for the SeaRAM breaking off when trying to remove support from underneath. Changes: Added underwater section of keel without nose jutting forward. Replaced flight deck netting with thicker solid deck and angled bottom, so no need for support (Cura shows some on starboard side while slicing at 15% scale, but shouldn't actually need it). Replaced X beam in stern corners below deck with solid block for easier printing. Thickened forward gun barrel. Flipped horizontally as mission bay door is on starboard side. Removed upper-most antenna (other changes needed, but would have been a lot). Smoothed out some overhangs along bow.
