greetings,
I have in mind to print out the hull of a particular sailing schooner hull in 1:10 scale. I have all the loftings, but dont know how to create the 3D print files. Can anyone direct me to someone who might be interested?
 
i can do that but it depends on the size of the model many printers are limited in size so the model may have to be printed in sections. Is the hull a shell or built up with bulkheads or frames?

Thanks for replying. I'm sure the schooner will have to be printed in sections, no problem. As far as I can deduce, the hull length will be 48 inches and beam 12.8 inches. It will need a removable external keel, and if the keel bulb can be 3d printed so I can fill it with lead shot, that would be huge bonus. I doubt it would be an empty shell.
