Re: HULL MATERIALS....3D Printing. Croatian Motion.

I would like to answer two questions asked by Robert: I am curious is it possible to use new technologies for IOM hulls building such as making hulls with ELEGOO Mars machine and similar devices/technologies. Yes, but in a resin 3d printer bigger than the Elegoo Mars, like the Elegoo Saturn. Here ar...

Re: HULL MATERIALS....3D Printing. Croatian Motion.

Hi, Robert: "Regarding your item 1), I don't see how servo/winch trays or similar hull structural items with openings are not in compliance with current IOM Class Rules and CRO proposal. Opening for servo or winch is certainly not falling under "expanded, foamed, honeycombed" as stated in the curren...

Re: HULL MATERIALS....3D Printing. Croatian Motion.

Hopefully in the following link you will see examples of non-hexagonal infill that cannot be included in the "honeycombed" definition above, as I pointed in a previous post, and are therefore allowed by the present Class Rules (but excluded by the recent interpretation issued?). https://photos.googl...

Re: HULL MATERIALS....3D Printing. Croatian Motion.

Thank you, Robert, noted. I understand though that out of this discussion glass infilled thermoplastics may be allowed, and that is part of this debate. In that sense, I would like to point that 3d printing with UV photoactivated resins, the growing new 3d printing technology (for instance with Eleg...

Re: HULL MATERIALS....3D Printing. Croatian Motion.

My piece of thought: I do a lot of 3D printing, I started longtime ago, but mainly for parts, as the hull I did print was not competitve. In my view, the rules are perfect as they are, except a clarification/rewriting is needed with regard to Honeycombed materials. The honeycombed materials that wer...
