1/1400 Scale Intrepid Class Starship (Voyager)

Just uploaded Top_Hull_Solid.stl - I've removed the supports from this piece after being told there are some printing issues with the version that has them, hopefully it will help. Still unable to print this myself as my 3D printer is currently down for repairs. Note: This is still a work in progress as I have not yet printed the model out. I've taken the model and cut it up into smaller parts using Blender, then re-meshed each piece, resulting in very little non-manifolds remaining. I'm currently working on printing a new frame for my Anet A8 3D printer and once that's completed, I'll begin working on the printing process itself. I've used Blender to make the model as clean as possible, then exported it to STL for testing using Slic3r Prusa Edition. I haven't tested the pieces in Cura yet. The model is separated into 7 parts: Top Hull: Completed, with some small non-manifolds remaining on the model but they don't seem to impact the model when slicing with Slic3r. I've added supports to the inset window sections as well as the main bridge area so those areas should have plenty of support. Exporting to gCode, it estimates that it will take around 6 hours to print using Slic3r Prusa Edition settings: Layer Height: .06 First Layer Height: .1 Perimeters: 3 Horizontal Shells: Top solid Layer: 3 Bottom Solid Layer: 1 Infill: 10% Octagram Spiral - I'm using this setting to help the secondary deflector be supported Bottom Hull: Completed, with no non-manifolds that impact the model when slicing with Slic3r Top_Aft: Completed, with a few non-manifolds but nothing that impacts slicing Bottom_Aft: Completed, with manifolds and no impact on slicing Sec_Def_1c and Sec_Def_2a - the secondary deflector Completed, uploaded, and updated the mix file Note: You can mirror these pieces when using your chosen slicing software or grab the other from the Meshmixer file. Top Nacelle: Completed, with manifolds looking good Bottom Nacelle: Completed, with manifolds looking good Outer Nacelle: Completed, with manifolds looking good My goal is to make the model printable hollow so it can be internally lit. That's still a bit away right now as the two main parts (Top and Bottom Hull) need supports. Once printed, I'll add what settings I used. I've attached a Meshmixer Mix to the downloads in case anyone wants the assembled model so they can see where the cuts were made.
