hull Blue Motion class
 AVAILABLE NOW
 The first new build of the Blue Motion class of the shipping company TUI Cruises from 2014. We took the opportunity to offer this cruise ship as a 3D printable model. This hull is based on the first construction batch of this class and is 293.2m long in the original.
 The ship was built at the Finnish shipyard STX Turku - now Meyer Turku.
 The first construction batch of the class included the Mein Schiff 3 and Mein Schiff 4. For the Mein Schiff 5 and Mein Schiff 6, the hull was slightly modified.
 We worked on the model for a long time to recreate the ship in as much detail as possible.

 The model
 The fuselage consists of 30 sections that are printed individually. Due to the size of the fuselage and the available space on 3D printers, we placed particular emphasis on a stable construction. All sections are screwed together so that the fuselage has the greatest possible stability.
 We recommend at least PLA+ for printing the model. This has better flexibility and makes the hull less prone to breakage. Printing with ABS or PETG is of course also possible and further improves stability.
 Our advantages
 This model is not designed for a specific scale. However, please note that the quality of detail varies with scale and there may be limitations in assembly as the model becomes smaller.
 Unlimited copies - Buy the product once and use it for your entire fleet.
 Decide for yourself which materials you use for printing.
 The limits of printing are determined by your 3D printer. The build space of your printer determines the maximum possible scale.
 The fuselage parts are glued together and the frames offer the option of additionally connecting them with screws. The adhesive only serves as a seal. Another advantage is that the screws apply pressure evenly to the bonding surface during bonding, resulting in an almost perfect bond. Huge screw clamps are then no longer required.
 While glue loses its hold over time, screwing ensures that your hull retains its stability even as it ages. Glued hulls become brittle over time and this creates the risk that glued hulls can break if there is a knock at the glued points. In the worst case, this can mean the loss of the entire model. If the hull is screwed together, this risk is reduced to a minimum and you can enjoy your model for longer.
 Combine FDM and resin printing
 Get even more out of the kit by printing large parts with your FDM printer and using small detailed parts with your resin printer. In general, all parts are designed so that you can print all parts with the FDM printer, but you can give your boat an even more detailed kick if you combine both variants. Of course, you can also print the model completely with your resin printer.
 RC compatibility
 The model can be used as an RC ship. The corresponding foundations for servos and motors are included in the hull and are partly printed into the structure. Separate mounting plates with prepared mounting holes for the front sections are also included and can be printed out if required.
 Corresponding fittings for the hull must be purchased separately.
