Here we go!!

After some various edits and testing, I have completed my first 3D printed ship!!  O_O  😀  It’s rough around the edges and definitely not perfect, but I am extremely excited by the progress and look forward to more soon!  😀

Important to note that this was with NO settings adjusted on the printer, in the slicer, etc.  I didn’t remember to even change the infill, so that’s why it’s a bit skeletal.
