LionessRacing 307 #3 Posted December 2 Looks like a Plug Mold for an America's Cup build, but it's probably too short. Guessing that it's going to have a canting keel or outboard foils, as the "sponson" bumps appear designed to reduce wetted surface when heeled Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But I'm hoping that the 'sustainable' 3d printing can help plugs and prototypes come along cheaper than milling it out, with less loss of material... The concept of this particular boat I don't fully understand... A lot of proven trailerable boat in that range... But I guess it's just what the world needs... Yet another boat type... 36 minutes ago, floater said: 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Easy, they couldn't fit it in the door so they cut it in two. It just has not dawned on them yet the finished hull won't fit either.... I am assuming it is the limitation of their 3D printer.

LionessRacing 307 #37 Posted Sunday at 12:52 AM https://ericweinhoffer.com/blog/2017/7/30/the-whitworth-three-plates-method " The neat thing about surface plates is that they do not require precision tools to create. By using the “three plate method”, developed by Joseph Whitworth, flat surfaces can be created by using gravity and a simple hand-scraping tool, or by lapping the plates against each other. By starting with three plates of relative flatness, rubbing the plates against each other in alternating pairs to remove the high spots can yield fantastic results. The process can be completed in six steps, and then repeated until the desired level of flatness is achieved. In this visual explanation, the surface finishes of the three plates are exaggerated. Before beginning this process, the three plates (Red, Green and Blue) should be machined or ground to as flat a surface as possible, to remove all unnecessary lapping work. In addition, a fine abrasive compound is often used between plates to assist in material removal. Tom also has a great video series about this, which includes some compound and technique recommendations." 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
