Ron Rees had a 3D article in MB some years ago – I am not sure when but 4<5 years ago is about right I think.

I use Mark Hawkins, an experienced and excellent model boat builder in his own right to create the necessary files for Shapeways to print. HJe is able to do what would take me weeks of fiddling about in a matter of days.

All the Aveley (and my previous model (HMS Bicester) 3D parts are on his website in various scales.

https://www.shapeways.com/shops/3dboats?section=1%2F72&s=0&page%5Bnumber%5D=4&page%5Blimit%5D=48&page%5Border%5D=asc

In my club is a guy, Alan Pardew of Waypoint Models, who also does 3D printing of fittings, but he has a full-time job so is not able to undertake major design work quickly, but his Carley Floats are excellent.

Cheers

Paul.
