I do hope the author/designer of this series of ships will continue to produce additional sets of ships to cover many of the destroyer classes, light and heavy cruiser classes, incomplete or planned battleships/battle cruisers, that were in WWII, as well as some additional aircraft carriers. North Cape is presently (9/15/2021) a Kickstarter using 1/4800 ships and a good set of rules for them.

I'll be upfront, I don't have a resin printer, nor am I printing them in 1/6000. Instead I'm printing them on a Prusa 3D printer using PLA filament at 1/4800 and they look good. At that scale they fit right in with the former CinC metal ships, as well as the ones printed at Shapeway (although Shapeway's are printed in such high detail that they are very flimsy and break easily).

Hi, how do you orient the ships for printing in FDM? Do you use supports?

Sorry for the delay in response.

I print them either horizontally or vertically on my heat bed as that way they gain the strength of long printer run lengths. I'm also printing them at 1/4800 scale to use with the "North Cape" game and rules, as well as expanding that game to cover the Med and Pacific naval battles.

I have print them both on the heat bed with brims, but never with supports.

I use Hatchbox PLA if it matters, silver, at ultradetailed 0.05mm setting and on a Prusa MK3S printer, using a typical .4mm nozzle, and standard settings and that I only use a brim to hold the print to the heat bed.

I get the occasional bad ship print, but since it costs nearly nothing and takes minutes to print one, just experiment. Only hint I can give is to watch the heat, both nozzle and heat bed, as the ships are small and I do reduce the heat (at least for the nozzle).

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
