Ptolemy Class Transport
thingiverse
The is the Ptolemy Class Transport. I used the model uploaded by nd4spd1919 as a starting point, but reworked most everything from scratch in Rhino3D. I stripped away non-visible parts of the mesh and rebuilt on top of the rest. The container is a standalone piece that can be attached using glue or magnets. I removed the sensor dish since it's not present in Starfleet Technical Manual drawings of this ship. It makes sense, given that this vessel is a transport tug, not an explorer or military ship. I added phaser turrets and impulse engine plasma vents seen in the Starfleet Technical Manual. Edit 01/11/2017: I included some "Dry Dock" pieces to aid assembly and gluing. Printer Settings: Printer: Monoprice Maker Select Rafts: No Supports: Doesn't Matter Resolution: .2mm Infill: 10 to 20% Notes: I used 10% infill for everything except the container. The container requires more infill due to its internal connection piece, which allows you to link containers together. Using Simplify3D, I set the top and bottom layers to 4 lines each since 3 lines caused "bubbles" on the top of the saucer. I had to scale the pieces down 75% to fit my printer. At that scale, it's comparable in size to the Enterprise snap-together kit available on this site (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:133752).
