dangling prepositions – Neil's Log Book https://nrqm.ca What could possibly go wrong? Thu, 18 Aug 2011 02:27:31 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.4.1 Finished 3D-printed AUV hull https://nrqm.ca/2011/08/finished-3d-printed-auv-hull/ Thu, 18 Aug 2011 02:24:22 +0000 https://nrqm.ca/?p=650 The hull is done for now.  As I mentioned before, I have some improvements in mind (mainly to get rid of the outer bolts), but it took about 34 hours to print all eight pieces and I’m not eager to do it again.  If I ever get around to putting motors on this thing then I will have to re-print at least four of the semidemihemispheres, as the current ones don’t have any mounting points for motor attachments.

Pictures and video follow:
