Boat Builder Central

I'll be the a$$ hat on this. You already have fuel on board. For the price of a proper solar charger to maybe keep up with your day time demand on perfect days, you can buy a very very quiet (and small) Honda generator to run a charger/conditioner and/or inverter. The simple path is the right path i...

I hate myself for saying this. 3M sanding sponges. The ones with the hexagons on one side. 36-320. I buy enough to have 12 of each grit on hand for every job. I barely use power tools once fairing compound is down. Before that it’s 36, 60 or 80 on a pad or circular RO or a dremel drum. The SOB tool ...

I had sent my link to a friend but no point if the photos are missing !

I think I have returned the point for you and your friend. Sorry about that.

That’s an artifact of changes post migration. Give me some time to look into how to mitigate.

Short of it is that the old bateau2 sites are decommissioned officially. I thought I had managed rewrite of DB data but… nope.

It’s not that bad. It’s just another building project. Unlike building a house or remodeling, it’s easy to get distracted (funds reallocated, time commitments pop up, spouse/kids, etc) and the “3-4 months” turns into years. I know you’re not building a BBC/Martens-Goosen plan but non of this is hard...

You must fair the hull to some degree. Fairing makes the hull efficient-ish in the water (primary) and creates pretty surface for finish (secondary). The build process is simple (this is small boat) 1. Base construction: cut, tie, glue tape. Here you have a boat shaped thing that is “squared” relati...

I doe’s cura before I unpacked the printer. Was kind of a no brainer since the Creality version is crippled. I’m using the matched profile (ender 3 s1 pro) and changed settings based on “internet research” that seems to match my symptoms. I’ll start over tonight and set everything back to default as...

These Creality don’t have much of a build to them. But I’ll double check the square on what they sent. The build plate is their ABS targeted PEI coated flex plate. I’ve been running 70C bed, 200C nozzle, 15mm/sec, no cooling, 8mm brim in layer 1. After that, the default that Cura wants for PLA. It i...

Crap paint and/or bad surface prep will get those results. Spend the dollars and the time, do touch up and repairs when needed. Good quality paint will last longer than bottom paint.

I declared it Christmas last week and santazon delivered an Ender 3 s1 pro. So far I’ve managed the bunny test print successfully. Seem to be unable to get adequate adhesion on the build plate on one corner. Which means everything is warping like my general attitude about everything. I’ve raised the...
