Thanks. I'm very fond of this little ship, but I admit I never considered putting her to sea. Good idea to use PETG for the mast. So much of 3D printing is learning how to make best use of the various plastics, and how to optimize a print's orientation for accuracy or strength, or in this case flexibility.

I didn't get usable circles either, but I did get a very pretty ship using the profile I posted. I noticed the poster of the original model also clipped what remained of the circles and twisted the loops from the sail as I did. In my defense, I did include a warning in the print profile: "Some elements are too small to print, but clipping them off won't detract from the appearance much" Some details from real world models simply don't render well at scale in a 254mm cube. If this is too problematic, I can remove the print profile, but the model isn't mine. Thanks,
