This 3D printable model represents a modern offshore support vessel used in wind farm operations and coastal service duties. Measuring approximately 80 cm in length when assembled, it has been carefully designed with a balance of accuracy and printability. The base package includes over 60 individual STL files, while the optional accessory pack expands the build to more than 100 parts for those who wish to add detailed fittings such as cranes, lifeboats, and deck equipment. Many of the finer details have been reinforced and thickened to ensure reliable printing and easier handling during assembly. The model is divided into sections compatible with standard 3D printers featuring a 22 × 22 × 25 cm build volume, allowing hobbyists to produce large, high-detail components without special equipment.
For best results, it is recommended to print the parts in PLA or PETG at 0.15–0.25 mm layer height with at least 15–20 % infill. Most hull and superstructure sections can be printed without supports, though minor support may be required for certain deck fittings or curved overhangs. Standard cyanoacrylate or epoxy adhesive works well for assembly, and the joints have been designed for strong, clean connections. Builders aiming for a display finish can lightly sand and prime the surfaces before painting, while more experienced users may choose to reinforce the interior for RC conversion or lighting.
