Our flagship 1.5‑m SS Edmund Fitzgerald now comes fully equipped for remote‑control. The file pack includes DC‑motor and servo‑motor mounting plates, reference assemblies for both motor types, and a set of coupler parts that make integration into any RC system a snap. A brand‑new ore‑loader/unloader kit is also bundled, letting builders add a realistic cargo‑handling arm for extra drama. Interior access has been redesigned for easier maintenance, and portholes close to the water line are now only partially open to simplify waterproofing. As before, the pack ships with both STL and pre‑painted 3MF formats so you can choose single‑colour or full‑colour builds.

In this latest update, we’ve also added new bonus components to the model pack: various human figurines inspired from the real crew of EF and last but not least, the ship’s bell. It comes in two versions—a scaled miniature designed to be mounted onto the 3D-printed Fitzgerald, and a stand-alone desktop display version measuring 15 cm wide and 12 cm tall for those who’d like a separate keepsake or display piece.

3D printing settingsFor the best results, we recommend 0.2–0.28 mm layer height, 2–3 wall lines, and standard PLA or PETG depending on the builder’s preference; larger hull sections benefit from 10–15 % infill and slow outer walls for cleaner surfaces. The latest revision introduces flat-bottom deck pieces, a reorganized and more logical part split, two hull options (classic and waterline-split), interior screw-boss joinery, redesigned bow and stern sections, separate railings and lamps, optional post-and-thread railing style, numbered hull pieces for easier alignment. A standard printer with a 22x22x25 print volume is all you need to 3d print this model.
