Foldable Enterprise NCC-1701

prusaprinters

<p>This design was created in commemoration of exceeding 10,000 registered users. That's the Enterprise, the spaceship featured in the movie Star Trek. The Enterprise has several designs, but this time it was the first one in the series.</p> <p>We would like to thank 10,000 registered users and all the people who have helped us so far and share this design with 3D printing users who are trying to create a new 3D printing culture.</p> <p>When expanded, size = X 89mm, Y 73mm, Z 77mm After folding X 76mm, Y 168mm, Z 41mm / Pedestal = X 90mm, Y 122mm, Z 36mm</p> <h3>Print instructions</h3><p>The shape of this spaceship is very simple, but its structure is difficult to reproduce with 3D printing. Despite the use of two slide structures, I had no choice but to use the support structure.</p> <p>The folding order is as follows:</p> <ol> <li>Remove the support of the propulsion unit.</li> <li>Rotate the disc shaped primary hull and fit it on the protrusion of the vertical connection part.</li> <li>The secondary hull of the middle cylindrical shape slides into place.</li> <li>Fold and insert the front part of the secondary hull to fix it.</li> <li>The propulsion unit slides backwards to remove the protruding support and folds the front part.</li> <li>Print the stand without support and insert it into the hole in the bottom center of the Enterprise.</li> </ol> <p>We've created a support that can be easily removed, so there's no need to set up support.<br/> The disc-shaped primary hull may fall during printing, so please be careful with the build bed / plate adhesion. You can also use Raft.</p> <p>Please refer to the following video for the folding process.</p>
