Model information
Description
A measuring box designed to comply with the Footy class RC sailboat rules. The author states this box is a useful tool to check if a boat fits the rules. The author notes that the advantage of this box over a traditional wooden box is that it is transparent, though it will not look as unappealing as a polycarbonate or plexiglass box after use. To assemble the box, the author used pieces of filament and plastic cement such as Plastic Ceys, noting that Revell glue (which is thinner) will also work. The author added a small fillet to the external corners to avoid overextruded corners. The author notes that while parts were named for easier tracking and assembly, the filenames are not embossed on the parts.
