Now working on print in place Iona/Arvia. 1:1000 scale (or more like 1:1050 to make it fit in the X1C build plate). - spent the whole day introducing support struts - most of which can probably be left in place - but some like those supporting the bridge will need to be split off. Ready to start a single colour test print of Iona. Support added is coded in yellow in the attached picture - but will probably be printed as white in the multi colour version.
Support additions quite a lot more than Ventura - due to more overhangs on Iona/Arvia.
16:20 - Test print of Single Colour Iona Started - estimated print time 8hrs - which I will pause overnight. Arvia single colour version also ready for test print.
PS/ Getting manifold error reported by BS - but it seemed to slice ok - but will have to sort that out before Makerworld will accept it.
First attempt at full print failure - failed on lifeboats - despite doing to segmented test prints - so have beefed up most of the 0.6mm dimensions in the lifeboat holders to 1mm and will retry.
11/9 16:40. 2nd attempt, this time of Arvia, going pretty well only about 1hr 20mins to go. Main obvous fault is that the promedate deck bridge supports are too thin - so will have to be thickened up a bit. Also will have to move some of the supports that go through windows as they won’t look good when removed on the colour version.
Pretty happy with print, but a few changes required - so likely to need another couple of test prints
Back canopy a bit thin + some stringing down
Swim up bar canopy slats a bit thin
Floor by stairs at back a bit thin
Deck 19 front floor too thin
Hole covers
Deck18 overhang stringing down a bit
Deck 18 front overhang a bit messy
Front canopy too thin
Hold ups of side bridge too thin
Ridges over joints
Golf course 1 bit missing
Supports through glass
Deck19 middle parts by radar towers too thin
Bit of stringing under bridge
Middle canopy a bit thin
Inner covered pool floor a bit thin
Timelapse still looks pretty good though Test2 - Ariva Dark Green Version
12/9 8:00. 3rd Attempt now started - Ariva - in gold this time, hopefully with above issues addressed. 7hrs 30mins to go.
12/9 15:55. Only just over an hour to go - looking quite good in gold I think - and no obvious faults jump out yet.
Came out pretty well - just a couple of problems - so doing a third full print - this time in lighter green, plus also Iona now ready too - so kicked off a Silver print of her.

13/9 16:15 - prints (hopefully final single colour looking good). Iona on left, Arvia on Right
13/9 21:51 Arvia in green pretty much perfect - so might release that on MakerWorld tomorrow.
Iona has a few faults - might be due to using BL PLA Silk - but will thicken up two canopies and try reprinting in white tomorrow.
14/9 21:50. Iona now ready to go also. Had a few problems with BL SILK PLA with the really small details. Shame because I think It looks better in that colour than the BL PLA BASIC Grey at the front. Did one full test print, and then reprinted just the parts that failed.
Will do another full Iona print tomorrow - but am now confident that Iona and Arvia are ready.
Will also in parallel start a multi colour print of Arvia - could I suppose do Iona at the same time too if I split it into two to save on waste - but think I will just do the one for now.
