See Cloud first print now ready to go - will print it at 400% scale (1:250) single colour, and will probably just print one half first.
Need to do it this large as some of the parts like supports are too small - and will need to be scaled up in order to work at smaller scales.
Had to add quite a few extra supports to hold the sails up.
Also came across the other 2 ships in the sea cloud fleet recently at Lanzarote - see may do them too at some point.
Update - print progressing
Came out a bit of a mess - but I think it has potential - I guess those curved undersides of the sails were never going to work unsupported.
Got loads of AMS Assist and Potential Clog messages. In the end took the AMS off top of printer and removed glass which seemed to help.
Going to try a more complex manual support structure - with a loft from the bottom of the sails down to the lower spar. With loft then moved down 1 layer and sliced off at the bottom. Doing test print
Separated quite nicely
Improved version with holes for easier removal and mirrored
2nd attempt at front half of ship
Some of the spars a bit messy - but sails worked pretty well with the new supports
Test Print 3 - almost there - just need to make supports a bit easier to remove
