One Small Step... and the start of a new project.
After all the help with information I received regarding building a Puffer. it's now on the drawing board.
Now after so many years not building a model boat, I have two on the go.
I found a site that has free puffer STL files they look very nice so I pulled off a print , it's a tad on the small side but a start. Col

I have made an executive design😄
Give PETG a go.
I will print off some of the small parts and see if it's any good. Col

This is very nostalgic model that I love tremendously.
I think the switch back to PLA was definitely the right move.
The hull is looking much cleaner, and the detail parts are coming out really nicely.
It’s impressive to see how much testing and tweaking you’re putting into getting these prints right.
Looking forward to seeing the next plate!
Ticking over nicely
I have re-fabricated one part using Tinkercad
