Update 4/1/24. Underwater hull parts are now available too

- see multi coloured version of this model here https://makerworld.com/en/models/15006#profileId-14776

These models are a half size single colour reworks of my earlier 1:500 multi colour models.

Some minor support structures have been included within the models - see yellow and red colour coding in order to allow them to print without slicer supports.

I think it is ok to leave the yellow colour coded supports in place permanently - but I would recommend snipping off the red coded supports if you want to make the ship a little bit more authentic.

Prints in about 8 hrs on a Bambu Lab X1C 0.4mm nozzle, 0.2mm layer height.

STL files provided for each ship, plus pre-sliced Bambu Lab X1C/P1P 3mf print profile that contains both ships.

3 Test prints were done with Arvia - with the lighter green one in the photos being the final fully completed print.

6 Test prints were done on Iona - with the more complete model in BL PLA Silk Silver actually being the first test print - and having a few faults on it - which were gradually corrected with the smaller partial prints. It will print in PLA Silk - but some of the details like the little lamps on the top deck fail - so it is recommended just using Silver PLA - as per the last few partial prints.

Filament for the test prints was sponsored by Bambu Lab.

Modelled from photos and videos using Fusion 360.

Single and Multicolour 1:1000 models on P&O Cruise ship Ventura also available on this site.

Note that I have improved the text on this model when compared to ventura - by insetting the text 0.25mm, rather than it protroding 0.5mm like it does on the Ventura model.

Multi colour versions of these models will probably be released once I have done some test prints - but note that they will take over 24 hours to print and will require a Bambu Lab X1C and 3xAMSs and lots of filament.

This is a personal project. I have no connection to P&O Cruises or Carnival Corporation other than being a customer.
