CSS Virginia RC Model 1-96 and 1-72

CSS Virginia RC Model 1-96 and 1-72 3D print model

Description

1/96 and 1/72 scale RC model of the Civil War era CSS Virginia. I designed it to have a 5mm shaft tube, and 2mm rudder line tubes (1/96 scale.) I have included a PDF of assembly instructions in the file, along with various notes for how I plan to build this. (Will update the pictures when completed.) The casemate and hull are designed to be connected with 5mm x 1mm neodymium magnets.

Note: The instructions and the measurements listed are for the 1/96 original model. For the upscaled 1/72 model, multiply dimensions by 1.33371 to get the new dimensions if needed.

For a quick preview and to check printer size compatibility, the following are the largest dimensions from all of the pieces: Biggest Length: 230mm, Biggest Width: 160mm, Biggest Height: 86mm.

Edit: It was requested that slice the model to fit an A-1 mini printer, which means everything had to be under 180mm. I redesigned the model with the requested specs, along with the connecting ribs and alignment holes. I did NOT recreate a new instruction manual for these files, however they are numbered fore to aft. For the hull, there was not enough room for the guide holes between parts 5 and 6, so I designed a connecter piece to fit between the two. It should be rather straightforward to align them using the shaft and connector piece, but if not feel free to reach out!

Very responsive seller, nice work. I'm printing this model right now on my Bambu mini-A1 and it is coming out very nicely. This should be a nice model for display or operation, and I highly recommend this designer.
