Manufacturing settings
The Racing Sparrow 3D is designed to be printed from PLA+. 1 Roll of filament should be enough to print the 4 hull parts, the keel, bulb and rudder and also the rig parts. The 3d model has been designed so that no part is larger than 207mm on any axis making this easy to print on most home 3d printers. All that is needed is to load the STL files into the slicer software and print. No extra modelling required. No supports are needed when printing. Any
supporting material is modelled directly into the parts.
The settings the author used on a Creality K1 Max Printer were:
Nozzle 0.4,Wall count of 2: top 4, bottom 4 layers
Brim inside and out for adhesion for hull skins.
220˙ Nozzle,
