Star Trek ShuttleCraft Chair Knobs

thingiverse

A fellow maker from my makerspace is building a scale shuttlecraft inspired by the classic Star Trek series. The model measures roughly one seventh to one eighth in size, and it's quite massive. To assist with its creation, I spotted some appealing seat designs online that closely resembled those from the original TV show and got down to work on crafting a base from scratch. After making significant progress, only one key element remains to be completed: designing custom knobs for the shuttlecraft. To showcase the completed seat model, I will post an update soon; however, I won't need to share the base separately since it is saved in the UP format and compatible with my 3D printer. If any of you out there own an UP or Afinia 3D printer capable of using UP3 files, please leave a comment. This customized design was influenced by Thingiverse user "jerryd," specifically from his item http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:41274. You can easily customize it for yourself at http://www.thingiverse.com/apps/customizer/run?thing_id=41274. Below you will find instructions to customize the seat: Using the options provided: * Set the following settings: + 00_pill_length = 2.5 + 38_smoothness_of_cylinder_indentations = 50 + 10_set_screw = false + 42_position_of_cylinder_x = 0 + 00_pill_location_z = 0.0 + 00_pill_location_y = 5.0 + 00_pill_location_x = 0.0 + 06_shaft_height = 13 + 25_arrow_location_x = 0.0 + 13_set_screw_height = 4 + 44_position_of_cylinder_z = -5 + 31_size_of_sphere_indentations = 4 + 43_position_of_cylinder_y = 0 + 26_arrow_location_y = 1.0 + 01_knob_diameter_top = 20 + 09_shaft_hole_flat_size = 5.0 + translation_of_cylinder_indentations = [42_position_of_cylinder_x,43_position_of_cylinder_y,44_position_of_cylinder_z] + 28_indentations_sphere = false + 15_top_edge_smoothing = true + 12_set_screw_depth = 9 + pokey_outey = [pokey_outey_value, pokey_outey_value,0] + 45_cylinder_starting_rotation = -30 + 00_pill_indicator = false + 14_quality_of_set_screw = 20 + 00_pill_add_or_subtract = add + 40_diameter_of_bottom_of_the_cylinder = 5 + 39_diameter_of_top_of_the_cylinder = 5 + 21_top_of_knob_arrow_indicator = false + 16_top_edge_smoothing_radius
