OpenSCAD Pirate Ship
Derived from
Description
There are two main parameters - "shipscale" and "th." The first parameter "shipscale" is the size the entire ship is based on. It roughly corresponds to the overall height of the model. The second parameter "th" refers to the thickness of many of the features. The STL below has the thickness set to 0.6mm. It should probably be about 1mm or so for optimal printability.
This ship features three masts with three sails each, a rudder, deck, captain's quarters, bow, and crow's nest.
As an FYI, this pirate ship was made with just "cubes" and "cylinders."

I loved this model from the 1st second and I new that one day I had to print it!
th set to 1.05, cooling module active (10 secs) and an improvised ducted fan.
Not bad at all (my third PLA print)
Printed without support on a Mendel Prusa in 1.75mm natural PLA. The bottom of the bowsprit was only slightly rounded. The stern overhang was a little steep, and looped a little (looks like the wake!).
The hardest part was the sails. Only one strand wide, there's no room for error. I had a des kfan blowing on the print hard enough to lower the nozzle temp from 185 celsius to 175. Just survived with some very thin stranding.
Clear PLA is so sparkly I can't do it justice in a photo. The model is
amazing.
Next step, adding a servo and a motor. And then have your own mininature remote controlled pirate ship. Yarr!
Awesome model. Would be fun to make a ship-in-a-bottle variant of this :-D
