Magnetic Submarines (LA, Seawolf, and Ohio classes)

thingiverse

Here is my collection of submarines I designed, they are all 500:1 scale. I tried my best for accuracy, wasn't impressed by a lot of what I found from others. These have passed the test of being given to sailors that lived on one of the ships and they loved the detail. Each model is just a bit over the top half of the ship and has embedded holes for magnets (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072HV6NLB). I included generic models for the Los Angeles, Seawolf (plus Jimmy Carter), and Ohio classes as well as some specific models I made with the hull number printed on the top. Due to the size I had to print most everything at a 45 degree on my printer. The Ohio class subs also had to be split in two, but they fit and glue together nicely. I painted the numbers in white to make them really pop. I printed at 0.1mm resolution with 20% infill. You can print them fine at 0.2mm, but I thought the hull came out much smoother with the higher resolution. No supports or anything are necessary, it was all designed to be printed as is.
