The shaft is only for support for printing  and can be cut off .

If you try to print  the Rivets or bolts  with out the support  you will have a  elephant foot .

And have a lot of work to remove it of each one .

This may help you as well desing rules.pdf

Yes you can .

Draw a box 2mm high and as long as you need then add a post no smaller than .5mm  it also needs to be about 2mm high .

Now draw the Rivets  or round head  on the top of the post

.The post will be cut off the 2mm box .

Print it flat on the build plate 

Just a note don't fill up your build plate

Only 300 odd windows to make .Lucky you don't have to cut them by hand it would take for ever .

Looks very good done on your CNC and will save you a lot of time .

Hi Richard,

 

Thanks so much for doing this. I just followed your link and it appears that you've put an edited version up in Dropbox that runs for about one hour. However, when I downloaded it from drop box, it seems to download the full 4hr 40min version. Any idea why this is so? (I'm not all that familiar with using Dropbox, so it could well be "operator error").

 

Also just discovered that with the long version that downloads, there is no sound at all.......

 

Look at my post .I had to download the free VLC media player to get the sound to work .

Thank you very much Richard .

I download the file  and it all work fine. I did have to download VLC media player to get the sound as the windows 10 media player would not play the sound recording .

That maybe just me  .The  recording is a big help to me on doing the Pevensey hull .

Greg

Hi Richard

Any update on the recording .

You can just spray it with two light cost of  White Knight Crystal Clear Spray Paint .

It has to be a very l light costs  .

Or Micador for Artists Crystal Clear Spray from Officeworks

Thank you Richard for all the hard work and help today.

The way you showed us Riho looks a lot easier to use than Fusion 360 .

Now I just have to wait for the video to downloaded to go over it step by step .

Greg

I all set for tomorrow the 23 /12 /2021  at 6:00 AM  Brisbane time .

I have Zoom and Rhino 7 in stalled now

Looking forward in get to work with Richard's training workshop.

I will be nice to see what you can to do with Rhino 7.

I have to say a big thank you to Richard for doing this training workshop for us guy's that are just starting in CAD

Greg

fnkershner the  add in Slicer no longer supported as a add in  from the app store

I just redid it after looking at Fusion 360 NewbiesPlus YouTube videos again .

He is a big help for Fusion 360 users .Now to work on the deck  before starting the frames/Bulkheads .

I also have to do the same for the P.S.Oscar W for a mate .

I think I workout how to do the lofting in Fusion .Now to make it one body and do the new frame to be cut .

Looking forward to this I have Rhino  V4 and fusion 360 and need all the help I can get .

The plans are from Float a Boat in Vic Australia .

The P.S. Pevensey is an Australian River Steamer and is based at Echuca on the Murray River.

This makes it hard to get photos and measurements as I live in Queensland .Just a bit to far to drive .

I will be doing it 1/24 scale as per the plans

This is my first time trying to do a hull in Fusion 360 .

I may need some help with Fusion 360 .

I have worked out how to all the bulkheads/frames and waterline plus deck lines .

I can't workout how to do the lines shown in the top view or do I need to do them

I would like to add more bulkheads/frames for cutting the parts out on a CNC router .

Thank you all for the warm welcome .

Hello Greg and Welcome:

 

 During WWII, my Dad fought in the Battle of Milne Bay in Eastern New Guinea.  Consequently, I have great interest in that part of the world.  Coming from Queensland, may I ask of your knowledge of the Torres Straight and types of vessels used to navigate that water?

 

Thanks, 

 

Charlie  

Sorry Charlie  .I grew up in Sydney and moved to Queensland back in 2001 .As far my knowledge of the Torres Straight and types of vessels It is very little and would be just what I can find on Google .

Hi I'm from Queensland  Australia .

I now retied and have time to get back in model ship building again .

I'm starting of with a 1/24 scale Murray Paddlesteamer  P.S . Pevensey also known as the "Philadelphia " from The television mini-series 'All the Rivers Run' .

I have a set of the drawings from Float A Boat in Melbourne.

and will try to do the parts in Fusion 360 for CNC cutting and 3D printing .

Still learning Fusion 360

So it should be fun to learn what to do in Fusion 360 for a old guy like me .

I hope to get some tips on what to do here .
