Beiyang Fleet Dingyuan Battleship

Please read the following before printing!

This model is a MakerWorld exclusive original, recreating the Beiyang Fleet's flagship Dingyuan Battleship at a 1:125 scale, with an overall length of 76cm. It features a fully modular and multi-color design, optimized for Bambu Lab FDM 3D printing.

✅ Model Features

• Scale: 1:125, overall length approx. 76cm
• Structure: Fully modular + multi-color, clear assembly logic, easy to piece together
• Moveable: Main guns are moveable, gun covers have been removed
• Painting reference: Classic Victorian livery, restoring historical appearance
• Hull: Hollow design, can be drilled and modified for RC remote control
• Author's note: I am not familiar with RC, please research modifications yourself

🖨️ Print Parameters and Materials (Must Read)

• Recommended material: Bambu Lab PLA Basic (all parameters are set based on this material)
• Filament colors: Gray, Orange, Cocoa Brown, Red, Black, Pearl White
• Printing time: Approx. 2 days
• Machine recommendation: A1 large-size direct printing of the hull is not recommended, as large models have a higher shrinkage rate and are prone to warping, which can lead to misalignment of the upper and lower hull sections during assembly.

⚠️ Key Tips to Read Before Printing

1. Mast printing: Be sure to dry the filament beforehand, otherwise stringing is highly likely to occur
2. Small parts: Carefully remove supports to avoid breakage
3. Deck surface: Must be cooled to room temperature before removal to prevent warping and deformation
4. Hull sections: It is recommended to glue them promptly after printing to prevent cooling shrinkage and deformation from enlarging the seams
5. Wooden deck: Before printing, be sure to clean the print plate to improve adhesion

🔧 Assembly Instructions

• Part adhesion: Requires glue for fixation
• Railings and netting: Can be trimmed and installed according to personal needs

🎯 Recommended for beginners to try; FDM printing accuracy cannot reach professional ship model standards, professional players pursuing extreme high precision should choose carefully, please do not complain if you don't like it~

🛠️ Modeling Statement: This model was created using Fusion360, based on historical textures using reverse modeling + surface patching, combined with some AI-assisted modeling. Any resemblance is purely coincidental.

📌 Series Update Plan: This model belongs to the Beiyang Fleet series

• Sister ships of the same class (Zhenyuan, Jingyuan, etc.) will not be updated
• Future updates will include: Zhiyuan Battleship, Jingyuan Battleship, etc.
• All will maintain the same scale, fully modular and multi-color, free and open source, published on this Bambu Lab MW account
