About this model

Growth for my bathtub fleet. A little tugboat. I had seen a great 3d picture of a tugs and I couldn't get that out of my head. Unfortunately, I don't know where I saw it. So I tried to draw it out of my head. The model was created on this basis. Even if my boats are not benchmarks (benchy), you can use them for quality control. I drew two versions. One with open cabin and one with closed. The highlight of the open version is a variation of Larry the Engineer (Makerbot) as captain. The tug can be used on land, then you don't have to pay attention to anything. However, if it is to be floatable, the fuselage must be printed with two different fillings. Otherwise the boat is too light. Bottom: 40-50% Infill Top: 10% Infill The models on the pictures are printed with 70% of the original. Update…
