Declaration Class Enterprise

cults3d

I've been holding off on uploading this model until I could track down the file containing the decals I created for it. Unfortunately, I still haven't found it, but if I do - rest assured that it will be uploaded soon. To be honest, I hesitated sharing this model because my ROBO-3D printer struggles with overlapping volumes (it prints them as air gaps), and this design has many of these overlaps, particularly in the nose area. Despite trying various approaches, I couldn't find a way to overcome this issue using the printer software. Perhaps the problem lies within my own understanding of the Wings3D program I used to create the model - it seems that deleting volume overlaps isn't as straightforward as I thought. If anyone has experience with navigating these issues, your input would be greatly appreciated! Personally, I've found a reliable solution for filling gaps in resin cast models using Marine-Tex, a specialized resin boat plastic product. Its effectiveness is undeniable, and I highly recommend it. Since then, I've switched to printing exclusively in ABS, thanks to the excellent compatibility of Plastruct Plastic Weld glue with this material - unfortunately, PLA doesn't respond as well. For now, I haven't explored other options. The provided .stl file is a representation of the completed model, but I strongly advise against attempting to print it as-is. Instead, separate the parts and build it from scratch for a more accurate result. I considered including an assembly sheet, but the process should be self-explanatory based on the image of the finished product. The model was printed at 1:350 scale specifically to complement my Polar Lights Enterprise model - I'm thrilled with how it turned out!
