Short: Its a scalable customizable ship build set. You can make it as short or long as you want. I will be making more parts to turn it in to other boats as well as rc functions in the future. Feel free to make your own customizations.
Long:This ship is my first entry for the make it float challenge. I found the challenge instructions very broad, having no size limit I assumed the object would have to fit on a maker bot instead of a huge 12x12 printer. With that in mind I made this container ship out of interchangeable components that could fit on a standard printer and be assembled after. I made it in multiple parts because the challenge was aimed at seeing how much weight(currency) an entry can hold. The law of buoyancy states that the upward force from the water is directly proportional to the amount of water displaced by the object. So in reality shape has nothing to do with flotation other then stability. Its the size of the object that determines the amount of weight it can h
