thibaultron Posted November 30, 2015 #1 Posted November 30, 2015 (edited) I recently drew up a hand powered dredge winch (about 3' X 3' X 2' in full scale), in a 2D CAD program, then went to a 3D model in SketchUp, then to an acceptable STL file to be printed by Shapeways. Would anyone be interested in a thread on the process, and some of the pitfalls along the way? The winch pushes the limits of their tech, when translated to both 1/32nd and 1/64th scale printed models. The winch is for my Carrie Price Skipjack model, in another build thread, but I thought that this subject would be more suitable for a wider audience.

hexnut Posted December 30, 2015 #2 Posted December 30, 2015 If you are running into problems with the step rez on STL, try going to a service bureau that does objet parts. (16 to 30 micron, depending on settings) Spendy for larger parts, but not bad for fiddly bits. mtaylor 1 Regards, Bob Marvin Muscongus bay Lobster Smack -Midwest- 1:24- (1st wooden build) Gertrude L.
