Star Trek Enterprise NX-01 Warp Core

thingiverse

As a die-hard Star Trek enthusiast, I've always been captivated by the sleek design of the warp core from the Enterprise NX-01. So, I took on the challenge of building one myself! It required an astonishing 100+ hours of modeling and over 50 hours of hands-on crafting to bring this masterpiece to life. And trust me, it was worth every minute. This incredible model comes in two versions: one that's perfect for 3D printing, and another that incorporates laser-cut or CNC-machined components for a more precise finish. The possibilities are endless! I've also added LED holes (RGB lighting optional) to give the warp core an authentic glow. To take it to the next level, I recommend installing a 15cm LED strip along the side rails – it's pure magic! For those who want to dive deeper into the project, I've included a comprehensive file detailing parts lists, print times, material requirements, and estimated costs. Got questions or suggestions? Feel free to leave a comment, and I'll respond as soon as possible.

If you appreciate the time and effort that goes into designing these models, consider tipping me – it helps offset the costs of prototype filament and my design time.
