My print of "RC Paddling Dragon Boat"

Hi. Some photos of my printout (awaiting a "MakerKit RC Boat") of the model

RC Paddling Dragon Boat (Model ID:M1000183861) https://www.makeroad.com/printable_3D_model/M1000183861


Printer: Elegoo Centauri Carbon 2 Combo

Total printing time approximately 11 hours, 24 minutes.

Filaments used: Silk PLA+ Four-color Red Yellow Green Black SUNLU, PLA Matte Dual-Color Red Blue MakeRoad/Sunlu, PLA Silk White.


I reprinted the cover, changing the "Wall generator" from "Classic" to "Arachne" and the "Wall loops" from "3" to "1".


The small M doesn't seem to want to slide all the way in when pushed by hand (I haven't yet dared to force it with pliers).


Unfortunately, the cover is difficult to install (it has to be bent, slid between the oar handles which obstruct its passage...) and I broke one of the oar handles trying to remove the cover. (But ultimately, it makes installing the cover easier, although it remains tricky.)


Before performing a float test, I need to thoroughly remove any traces of the raft and print supports, and definitely apply a coat of varnish or clear resin to the underside of the hull to ensure it is watertight.


This model definitely has very fragile parts—specifically the dragon head's whiskers and the oars. Since these are not separate elements from the model's body, their orientation during printing makes them fragile due to weak interlayer bonding; furthermore, Silk PLA is often more brittle than standard PLA or PETG.


Good continuation to all.
