Gen 2 - Disney Cruise Ship Magnets (With Ship Logo)

 

We have been printing the ships to display on our cruise doors to show the ships we have sailed on for years.  I was feeling motivated and decided to update my cruise ship models utilizing some skills I have picked up since creating my original versions back in 2024.  These new models are compatible with the same light spacers, magnets etc. as my Gen 1 models.  Hope you have fun printing these and Happy Cruising!

 

Upgrades over Gen 1 Designs:

• The smaller size models printing on A1 mini no longer need 0.2mm nozzles to print the details.  0.4mm nozzle can be used for all model sizes.  I have tested these on an A1 Mini, P1S and an H2C and all printed very well.
• Adjusted the design and features for easier painting.
• Add more detail on the pool deck for features like slides, coasters and ship horns.
• Updated the geometry to reflect each ship design rather than a generic common version for them.
• Improved the design of the lifeboats.
• ***NEW - Updated Wish Class ships to include the 2 side bulge areas on the ship***
• ***NEW - Updated yellow and white lines to be a bit thicker, I received feedback some were having issues with the lines becoming effectively translucent.  New update has multiple layers for both to solve the issue***

Notes:

• I currently have 1 profile attached that has a 9" version of the ships.  I am going to upload a 125% scale shortly as well for anyone wanting a larger version.
• There is a build plate for each ship in the print profile.
• Each magnet uses 10mm x 2 thick magnets, I used negative part cylinders in Bambu Studio so these can be scaled/modified as needed if you would like to to use other sizes. 
• Consider printing my Door Accessories to accompany the ships with a sign and mickey hadnds pointing to favourite ship, etc…

OPTIONAL UPGRADE:

I added a profile with backlighting spacers.  Very simple design that is created where the spacers fit into the existing magnet holes with a new magnet hole on the base of the spacer.  Follow these steps for backlighting:

1. Print a spacer for each magnet hole
2. Glue spacers in place and insert the magnet, keeping track that the magnet polarity is consistent
3. Add a battery operated LED strip or fairy lights, I used these fairy lights I had on hand from Amazon.  I have used these on previous cruises and they generally last all day

 

Filaments:

• Bambu Basic PLA - Black
• Bambu Basic PLA - Jade White
• Bambu Basic PLA - Red (Bambu Maroon Red I think is better, I just need to order more)
• Bambu Basic PLA - Yellow (Bambu Sunflower Yellow I think is better, I just need to order more)
• OPTIONAL: Bambu Basic PLA - Cobalt Blue for the logo swoops on the funnel if you can print more than 4 colours
