Canute Posted February 20, 2018 #1 Posted February 20, 2018 There is a 3D printing company under Shapeways call Model Monkey. They have a lot of ships parts in a variety of scales and cover Age of Sail to more recent offerings. They have just announced ship's wheels for a number of British and US ships. Here is one page of their catalog: https://modelmonkey.wixsite.com/modelmonkey/1-16-1-200-scales Here's one for ship of the line ships wheels in 1:72 scale: https://www.shapeways.com/product/JJNDUKWSQ/1-72-wheel-and-pedestal-for-ships-of-the-line If you want to replace carronades they have them also: https://www.shapeways.com/product/67LWD97AK/1-72-royal-navy-68-pounder-carronades-set-of-2 Scout around their site. Just thought I'd highlight a site that supports the hobby. thibaultron, Archi, mtaylor and 3 others 6 Ken Started: MS Bounty Longboat, On Hold: Heinkel USS Choctaw paper Down the road: Shipyard HMC Alert 1/96 paper, Mamoli Constitution Cross, MS USN Picket Boat #1 Scratchbuild: Echo Cross Section Member Nautical Research Guild

thibaultron Posted February 20, 2018 #3 Posted February 20, 2018 The Shapeways printers are much higher resolution than the ones you can buy, reasonably. Theirs run in $10,000s of dollars. As in many things in life, money brings quality. In my experience, depending on your scale, larger pieces can be printed in 1/96th scale smaller in 1/64th or greater. In HO (1/87.1), They have successfully printed 1 1/2" rivet detail for me. In 1/64th some larger cleats. and cheek blocks. mtaylor, fnkershner and Canute 3 Ron Thibault Shipjack Carrie Price from Pyro kit, with upgraded detailing and history.

Canute Posted February 20, 2018 Author #5 Posted February 20, 2018 4 hours ago, kopeikin said: Do they sell just a 3D parts software so the customer prints the part on his own printer or they sell already printed parts? On th ewheel you sent the link to I see just a nice 3D pictures, no pics of printed parts. They print the parts, you get a choice of printable materials. If you have a design ready to go, you'd have to work with them to get it printed. Like Ron says, they have high end printers with finer resolution than a home unit. I have a friend who wanted to print HO scale pipe tees ready to go. He had to adjust the orientation and resolution to the point that the purchaser has to drill out the tees for 0.019" wire (typical train air line for the brake system). My intention was to show a site with a lot of aftermarket details for mostly iron/steel navy ships. The guys building more modern ships may want finer detail on gun turrets and hose reels or replace bridge/conning tower structures. The armor and model railroaders have adopted a lot of these improvements. I'm not a CAD guy, so I'm impressed with the work these folks do. mtaylor, CaptainSteve, thibaultron and 1 other 4 Ken Started: MS Bounty Longboat, On Hold: Heinkel USS Choctaw paper Down the road: Shipyard HMC Alert 1/96 paper, Mamoli Constitution Cross, MS USN Picket Boat #1 Scratchbuild: Echo Cross Section Member Nautical Research Guild

Seahawk1313 Posted March 25, 2018 #7 Posted March 25, 2018 I just got British 18 pdr cannon from them in 1/96 scale, they are very nice, will be ordering more. I received them faster than their delivery estimate.- Hal mtaylor and CDW 2
fnkershner Posted March 25, 2018 #8 Posted March 25, 2018 Model Monkey is very reasonable. if he doesn't have something you want you can send him a jpg of the part and he will model it for you. He has done this for me and I was very happy with the speed, price, & quality. If you have a design you want to print. I have access to several 3D printers and I would be glad to print them for you for just the cost of postage. But as mentioned above, I cannot match the quality of Shapeways. coxswain, thibaultron, CDW and 2 others 5 Current Builds - 18th Century Longboat, MS Syren Completed Builds - MS Bluenose, Panart BatteStation Cross section, Endevour J Boat Half Hull, Windego Half Hull, R/C T37 Breezing Along, R/C Victoria 32, SolCat 18 On the shelf - Panart San Felipe, Euromodel Ajax, C.Mamoli America, Its a sailor's Life for me!
CDW Posted April 13, 2018 #9 Posted April 13, 2018 (edited) Very impressed with Model Monkey's offerings. He's really done some work to come up with a list like that. Ive been researching the availability of 1:8 scale model car parts. They are out there, but man, they are pricey as hell.

CDW Posted April 14, 2018 #10 Posted April 14, 2018 Wow, it would take some advanced technology to 3D print in metal. General Electric are the only ones I've seen do it, and that was to prove the concept of 3D printing jet engine parts. They actually 3D printed a functional jet engine using advanced layered alloys. But the cost is astronomical for a modeler. mtaylor, thibaultron and Canute 3 Completed Projects: USS Fletcher 1:144 Scharnhorst 1:350 USS Independence LCS-2 1:350 1:32 J7W1 Shinden Interceptor/Fighter Fairey Swordfish Mk.

fnkershner Posted April 14, 2018 #11 Posted April 14, 2018 CDW - This is not true. Shapeways will print any design in 4 different materials - PLA, A different Plastic, Gold, & Silver. of course the Gold & Silver will cost more. The intended Market for the gold & silver is jewelry design. I am not going to tell you this is cheap but it is doable. PS 3D printing is moving in the direction of printing almost any material. Including Drugs.

fnkershner Posted April 27, 2018 #15 Posted April 27, 2018 As mentioned above. Shapeways has recently increased the list of materials they support. Stainless Steel Bronze Brass Aluminum Porcelain Ceramic Several colors of various Plastics. This list is growing. I suggest keeping an eye here.
