CR-10 Trek Z Axis Spinner/Topper

thingiverse

I've been inspired by other Z rod toppers/spinners and decided to create my own USS Enterprise version. I find it fascinating to watch it slowly rotate as my printer runs its course. After printing, I need to carefully clean up the model from where the supports were connected. I used Cura's tree mode supports initially, but in this case, I think regular supports would have produced better results. Perhaps I'll try reprinting to see if I can achieve improved outcomes. Update 6-9-18: I went ahead and printed it in black using regular supports, and I'm convinced that it turns out much better when printed vertically. I utilize the saucer section to rotate the Z axis, thereby raising or lowering the X gantry.
