Not sure if it bothers you, but I believe you can disable the clock on the oven so you don't have to have that "12:00" blinking.
While the oven is off - hold Clock and "Plus" button until it goes dark.
It could also be just hold any combination of two buttons until it switches off. F.ex. hold "+" and "-" until the clock goes dark. To enable, just hold again.
Any timers, countdown etc. are in use, it will still work as normal.

Hopefully it does retain the setting after losing power...

A tip for getting a nice finish is to use a spray filler for plastics (for car body work etc). They cover up those layers easily, and can be sanded down for painting.
The filler will of course alter the dimensions slightly, but just scale it down a bit before print. Sanding the layers it a hassle, and usually still doesn't give a uniform finish.

Over time with the varying temperature and UV, PLA will become more brittle.
For "permanent" parts like that I really do recommend PETG. It's almost as easy to print as PLA, but you'll have a bit more stringing, and maybe tighter tolerances, so there is usually a bit of tweaking on the model when going from PLA to PETG.

As for movement - no issue. You could probably mount that printer upside in the headliner and it would still work without problems.

As long as you purchase quality filament, moisture is usually not a problem. I've had a roll of Prusament sitting open in a bedroom for 3 years, and it's still printing fine.

Regarding CAD design – Get a 3Dconnexion SpaceMouse. It just makes everything so much easer!

As someone who does CAD for a living, this makes me so happy to see!!! I’ve been watching for the past 5 years or so and have been waiting for this day. Looking forward to seeing your progress!

As far as keeping your filament dry, you can find a dry box (like a pelican case or similar) and put some of those silica packets in it to keep moisture out

Just a tip, but keep your parts closer together when printing. It will mean less travel for the printer between parts, which results in faster print times.

Here in the US you will find between 115-130 volts. Although 120 is most common.

As busy as you are making plastic doodads, you probably don't get a chance to watch other sailing channels. I saw one recently called "Sailing With Thomas". He's a Norwegian single-handing his 55' Bavaria around the world right now. The episode you might want to review is about all electric or even hybrid boats for cruisers. He currently uses a Fischer-Panda generator! His opinions about them may (or may not) surprise you! Can you print out a new generator? ;)

Congratulations on finally finishing the refit of Athena! That pole-hole was a serious distraction for me! ;)

If Ava wants to emboss a thin material like copper sheets, that die will give a raised embossing on the opposite side.

I have had great results with Overture filament. Good choice.

Thank you so much Mads for the 3-D printed Escutcheon Plate for the Nav Station grab bar. All of my hair has grown back and I have boundless energy. Pete
