The Future-Class Offshore Tug is a detailed, 1-meter-long 3D printable model inspired by modern deep-sea support vessels — a true test of skill and patience for advanced makers. This massive, high-resolution STL kit is Fully RC-Ready and contains 200+ individual files (over 250 MB total), each carefully designed for precision and fit. While the model stays faithful to the original vessel’s form, several areas have been modified and optimized for easier printing and smoother assembly. A variety of selectively added accessories further enrich the finished build, ensuring a rewarding and visually impressive result that captures the spirit of a contemporary offshore tug. You can recognise them by their funny names; use them however you like in your build.
3D printing settingsEvery detail has been planned with practicality in mind: internal screw holes and guidance features help align hull sections while the glue sets, and the upper two or three deck levels can be assembled as a removable hatch — offering easy interior access for those converting it into a remote-controlled version. There is also a screw-secured hatch to access the hull interior at the full length of the rear deck. While the main hull and superstructure consists of relatively few parts therefore are easy to print and assemble, the accesorized model can easily exceed 200 parts. Each section is sliced to fit on a standard 22×22×25 cm printer bed, making this a nice project that balances engineering precision with creative freedom.
