Herby, Did you ever sort out the problem with not being able to find the signature option? I've just joined and can't find it in account settings either. Have tried on different devices are browsers too. thanks

Books to learn Fusion 360
Dave Wood replied to allanyed's topic in CAD and 3D Modelling/Drafting Plans with Software
I have also looked at quite a few Kevin Kennedy videos, and also a lot of Lars Christensen ones and have found them very helpful. I did make an attempt at doing a video explain my own Fusion 360 ship design steps too, it's much harder than I expected to do live demos of smooth mouse movements etc so I started with just still pictures and descriptive text to see if there was any appetite for more. It didn't get many views and no comments so I didn't pursue it further. I may have another go in the future - but would probably need to do live demos and talking. Link to video here if anyone is interested or has any suggestions to offer. Ps/ looking at the thumbnail that came up when I inserted the link I just spotted I actually included a picture of the wrong ship - as that picture is Ventura's sister ship Azura -
Thanks, looks like an interesting ship. We enjoyed Iona and hope to get to go on Arvia next year too.

That looks like Azura - we sailed on her a few months ago and will be on her again later this year. Currently working my way through the P&O Cruises fleet - have started a build log for my current Arvia 1:250 model - have included a photo of existing fleet at start.

Test prints for Deck 8 - using a 0.4mm nozzle and 0.2mm layer height. 2m human figures at 1:250 scale are around 8mm high. Earlier 1:500 models too small for these sort of details to be added.

Arvia with Deck 7 added,

Arvia water level hull (up to Deck 6). 3d printed in 6 sections - with print times in hrs (bow to stern 11,5,4,5,5,15). Printed using a 0.6mm Nozzle on Bambu Lab X1c

First build log submission to this site, Currently building a 1:250 model of P&O's newest cruise ship Arvia, follow an earlier less detailed 1;500 build. Background - the earlier 1:500 scratch build I did of Arvia was based on an earlier 1:500 build I did of her sister ship Iona, which we sailed on in June 2022. 3d design done using Fusion 360 from Photos and Youtube videos. I am currently 3d printing this model using multi colour 3d filament on Bambu Lab X1C printers (using filament mostly sponsored by Bambu Lab). I do intend to also attempt some CNC and laser printing of cruise and other ship types once I have completed the next few ships. So far I have printed 1) the above sea leave hull - up to Deck 6, which consists of 6 parts joined together with dovetails - total print time about 45hrs. 2) Deck 7 - which consists of 5 parts, plus the 16 lifeboats - print time for this deck about 20 hrs. Currently I am working on refinements to the design of the promenade deck (Deck8) - which will have a fair amount of additional multi coloured detail when compared to my previous models - including features such as people, chairs, tables, loungers etc. - so likely to take a while to complete. The total number of decks are 19 - so quite a few to go. Will attempt some photo uploads in separate posts.

Hello from Suffolk, Uk. Have been scratch modelling ships for the last few months - initially cruise ships for 3d printing, but aiming to move into other categories of ship, together with CNC and laser cutting. I like the concept of your ship by ship build logging, plus knowledge sharing, particularly the modelling and photography categories. I have been effectively doing a build log of the 5 ships I've modelled so far using the 3d printer's forum here https://forum.bambulab.com/t/cruise-ship-print/5122/64 - but look forward to try out the build logs on your site. Also like the concept I see of including previous and future ship builds in signatures. My past built list is: P&O Cruise ship Ventura 1:500 scale https://www.printables.com/model/430425-po-cruises-ventura-cruise-ship P&O Cruise ship Azura 1:500 P&O Cruise ship Iona 1:500 https://www.printables.com/model/518421-po-cruise-ship-iona TUI River Cruise ship Skyla 1:500 and 1:250 P&O Cruise ship Arvia 1:500 Current ship P&O Cruise ship Arvia 1:250
