With Maass<\/a> finished, the major surface units of my faux USN German Naval Recognition set<\/a> are complete. The relatively small size of Maass, allowed me to print two FDM hulls at once on the Ender 3 Pro and two Sets of the resin detail parts on the Elegoo Saturn. Construction was complicated by the tiny\/thin poles supporting the upper decks to the main deck were a pain to free from their print supports and even more miserable to set flush with the main deck – without breaking them…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All in all though, assembly was fairly easy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The torpedo boat Jaguar is next and should be a similar printing and assembly experience to Maass. Learning from Maass’s issues, I’m going to slightly beef up some of Jaguar’s more fidgety bits, to ease assembly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below are pictures of Maass’s printed parts and initial assembly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
