Print Profile(1)
Description
This model is a replica of an 18th-century sextant, a precise navigational instrument used by sailors to determine their position at sea. While it closely resembles the original tool, it is not functional for actual measurements – instead, it serves as a decorative historical piece designed for 3D printing.
The model features moving parts, including a rotatable arm (alidade) and a holder with small lenses, adding to its authenticity and visual appeal. These details make it a great display piece for history lovers and maritime enthusiasts.
The model consists of multiple parts that need to be glued together after printing, following the assembly instructions provided below. With its ornate details, this replica makes a great addition to historical collections, a unique desk ornament, or an educational prop for learning about traditional navigation techniques.
