Mastodawn

First chips on #Samanthe have been made!

That blank will become the two masts, some gorgeous tight grained oregon pine. With offcuts like this flying around, can one ask for more? #woodworking #boatbuilding #modelmaking #bootsbau #Modellbau

She's in frame! Just a whole boatload of notches and tabs left to do so it can be precisely assembled with confidence without too much fettling.

32,2Mb to 2,3Mb. A cool 20min of slicing and dicing the step file in Rhino3D, mainly getting rid of small components and eliminating internal holes and threads.

OldSchool? Maybe. But I'm running SolidWorks on a semi-ancient notebook. I *am* thrifty with memory by necessity.

Das Krick fürs simple rebadgen der Kingmax China-Servos einfach mal den Preis verdoppelt ist schon auch ehrenlos

@Hippie kapitalismus, yaaay.

Es ist halt hourses for courses. Ich hab damit das Flächenmodell für #Samanthe hochgezogen. Dafür ist es perfekt. Aber ich würde im Leben nicht auf die Idee kommen damit jetzt die Struktur und Ausrüstung zu bauen. Es kann solids. aber das ist nicht what it's built for.

Jahaaaa! Paint ist computer aided design

Steel model phase 0 complete, currently fitting the major components.

Or the equivalent in RC model design

Been working on the hull structure in SolidWorks. Aka SometimesWorks. Because sometimes it doesn't

Hull structure weight is about 1.6kg at the moment, design displacement is 10.7kg. So far, so good

Hmmmmmmmm

Drag-and-dropping 1791 objects worth of surface model into #SolidWorks on a whim? Things did not go well, Enterprise.
