Can't belive how helpful you guys are , I hope I get a chance to repay your efforts . I know nothing about 3d printers but will be more than happy to pay the costs thank you guys very much .

No worries Alan.
I will sort the file out this evening and it will be available on the Shapeways site for you to purchase as many as you need.
Will attach the link when done

Got me thinking.... maybe there's beer money in this kind of thing :)

Here you go Alan - will this suffice?

If so, I will upload it to Shapeways.

Drawn using Subculture's excellent info

Hi that looks perfect to me ,I've looked through forums for various things but this is the first time I have ever used one. I really appreciate the trouble you guys have taken as on the original plans it shows these windows but I just could not find any. I am 47 years old and have done model boats back and forth since I was a kid .The last model I did was an unfinished sandwich constructed broads type cruiser bought from ebay. The basic boat was well built it had just never been finished. The one I need the windows for is similar though not so well finished . I find time wise this suits me at present to do a refurb rather than a new build . I am going to try and upload pictures of the boat and post then as work continues thanks Alan .

OK Alan - you can order the windows through Shapeways here :

https://www.shapeways.com/shops/linkspanmodels

This is the first time I have attempted to sell any of my models through Shapeways, so please let me know how you get on eh?

I think the price is set at 7.91 euros each (the parts are printed in Holland). I say 'I think' as it was quite a tortuous process to get the part up to a 'shop' to sell in the first place!!!!

If I had a 3D printer, I would have a go at printing it myself........

Hi I can't thank you guys enough for your time and trouble it restores your trust in a world where most people want to either scam or con you .I have ordered and paid for the windows and they are due to be shipped on 22nd .I will let you know how they turn out and post photos as soon as they arrive ,thankyou both again Alan

My pleasure Alan - I hope they turn out OK.

Hi unfortunately shapeways say it's too fragile to print and will refund my money. I really appreciate what you tried but was wondering about trying to cast one in resin. I could try removing a window and pressing it into model clay ,filling this with a 2 part resin and painting.

essex2visuvesi · « **Reply #34 on:** January 19, 2015, 06:50:43 pm »

Should work fine, failing that I'll give them a go on my 3d printer when it arrives 😊

Alan houston · « **Reply #35 on:** January 19, 2015, 06:54:28 pm »

Thanks I'm just about to scrounge my sons modelling clay and see how it goes .

Hi Alan - Just got in from work and noticed this.
Yes - I got that message too. It relates to the centre bar being too thin in depth for the material chosen. In Frosted Ultra Detail it would be OK, but that is much more expensive. I will thicken up the offending part to the minimum needed for Shapeways to be happy with it. If you want to re-purchase them, then they will be available - but no obligation.
Sorry for messing you about.
Carl

That would be great the bar on the originals were very thin I had to repair two of them .I can cut the clear plastic to suit your design thanks again Alan

carlmt · « **Reply #38 on:** January 19, 2015, 07:30:15 pm »

OK - all sorted. It should work OK now.

Would be very embarassing if it doesnt!!!

Alan houston · « **Reply #39 on:** January 19, 2015, 08:03:29 pm »

carlmt · « **Reply #40 on:** January 19, 2015, 08:22:48 pm »

Yes Alan - That should work.

Alan houston · « **Reply #41 on:** January 19, 2015, 09:37:35 pm »
