Material: PLA
Description
Body of the ship printed on a Prusa i3 MK3 in various colors of PLA, modular options and doors printed on an Elegoo Mars 3 in ABS-like gray resin.
This is a fantastic design! Working on this print was an absolute blast, and my D&D group was blown away by the results. I can't wait for our next encounter and to get to explore the ship in-game :)
That being said, the designer was definitely not kidding around when they said this is an advanced build. It took about two weeks to print the parts, though I was not constantly printing either. Supporting things was a challenge, and I ended up cutting some files myself for the sake of print times and such. The doors in particular gave me trouble - as some other people have mentioned, they are sized noticeably smaller than the doorframes. For my printer, I found that sizing them up to 105% gave me a nearly perfect fit with the hinges still working as intended. Also the hatch was too large to fit in its mount, and I found that sizing down to ~90-91% gave quite a good fit. The modular options were also quite a tight fit in the mounting ports on the ship, though that could have been down to one part being printed on an FDM printer and the other in resin or less than optimal settings on either printer.
All in all, I am very impressed with this design and really enjoyed the process of putting it together and painting it! I would love to build another one of these airships someday. I'm sure it will be enjoyed by our group and DM for a long time to come!
