All done from my point of view. The club member who is having the barge will do the final paint work. I hope to add some pictures of it finished and floating.. I have started work on two other versions. One will be a powered barge and one will be much the same as the first, but have a 55 mm draft and 15mm free board when laden.

📝 Scale

In answer to WOLLE question, "what kind of scale is it". I used the dimensions from the barge (shoe box) one of the club members already had. He tows it behind, what he says is a 1/33 scale tug so I assume it is 1/33 scale. I suppose scale is relative, so it can be anything you want up to a point. Nice trailer by the way..👍

Some fine barge. Well done! I thought I saw a post where you gave overall dimensions & an estimated cost. Then again my internet connection this morning is terrible so I might have imagined I saw it???

Just finished designing and printing some extra parts. Bollards, cleats, hinged-hatches and hopper bay removable covers. Just about ready for final paint job.

Hello SS
The hull looks great. What kind of scale is it ? I'm also thinking about building something similar. But more as a work platform, with a crane and construction trailer. I already have the construction trailer.

Hi ToraDog. I am not sure about the paint scheme. I am going to leave that up to the my boat club member. I suspect he will want it weathering, so the good old air brush will be out again 😀

Wicked nice! Are you going to weather her or present her right out of the yard? She will look fantastic either way.😊

📝 Coat of paint

After some sanding down and P38 filler I managed to get a couple of undercoats on. It didn't need a lot of work. Turned out not too bad.
I answer to Ian's question: This is a towed barge. However I have just started to do a pointy bow and a stern engine bay with appropriate super structure, wheel house etc.. The idea to have exchange ends and make it as short/long as you like.

Looks great. Is it going to be powered or as a towed barge? Cheers Ian

📝 All glued up.

I have now glued all of the sections together and the results are reasonable. As this is a protype I am not too bothered. I have made some adjustments to the CAD drawings and files so the next print will be much better. However with some filler and sanding I am sure I can get this looking good. I had to use my monitor speaker as a weight. The barge makes a good speaker stand if nothing else 🤣

Hi, chugalone100. I will see what I can sort out. If you are serious it might be better for me to make new 3D files for someone to print. I think you are in the USA and shipping would probably expensive. I have worked out that a 1/24 scale barge scaled up from mine would be about 32 inches long. Does that sound right?

GREAT WORK !!
Can you print one for me at 1/24 scale? I pay you for it. 😎 ▲

📝 Finished printing

Finally finished printing all of the parts. I made some modifications to the ribs which will give extra strength across the beam, and allow for support if a flat floor is put in the hull. Maybe smooth side insert/hopper. Just as a guide: It has taken a total of 24 hours of printing time. 264 metres of 1.75mm PLA filament and a small amount of electricity, about 3.8kWh. So far material cost is about £17.00 (€20.00) or ($23.00) Now the gluing starts.

Just a quick update to show how the hull sections join. I have only got the bow section to print then the gluing starts 😁

I have decided to go with the Fig 1 Hull. This is a L58 x W15 x H12 cm section, four required. For anyone interested the cost per section (in the UK) are:
Time for print: 133 minutes (Printing at 125mm per second)
Electricity : £0.08
PLA material: 26 metres @ £1.49
I am going to do some weight calculations as I am sure I can reduce the height of the hull by 25mm.

That looks good. I recently bought a 3D printer to make some deck fittings for my Venice Water taxi. I may look at suitable boat project to print now. Cheers Ian

Hi Roy. The parts do interlock. Just finishing some printing then will post an update.

Hi SS is there a lip on the other end so that the parts link into each other?

Hi SimpleSailor,
Have you thought about raising the centre of the hull bottom, leaving a side wall. This would maintain the looks and mobility characteristics. You would, of course, have to vent the section to allow air out, and importantly, to prevent suction when removing from the water. Just a thought! ▲

Hi Roy. Yes the intention is you can have many hull sections. Also you can have a double ended slant bow or blunt/stub either end. I do love working in wood and sometimes a combination of 3D parts and wood is good way to go. I also love doing the CAD work.

That looks very acceptable. Is the intention to make a bow section and a stern section and as many hull sections in between as you want?
If I were younger I would invest but I stick with wood which is familiar to me. But this looks really good. Will we become a group of modellers who do not buy kits anymore just a set of computer instructions for the 3D printer to produce? I was looking at the current warfare in Ukraine where they had stacks of 3D printed parts to assemble into drones. You never know what an 'invention' gets used for. Roy ▲
