Supersized 1 Meter TOS Enterprise now with stand and Redesigned Nacelle Scoops!

thingiverse

This is a 1 Meter long TOS Enterprise model, cut up into parts that can be printed without supports. Included is a large sized Instruction sheet detailing how many of each tab to print. The individual parts are full mesh resolution and oriented to print, resulting in huge file sizes, but carrying decent detail. Optimized files are grouped by sections and are not oriented to print, losing some fidelity during the optimization process. However, this option was provided for those who cannot process or have slow internet connections. For a more in-depth look at printing and development, visit: https://ultimaker.com/en/community/45889-the-clumsy-noob-goes-supersized-in-the-noobverse This thread is ongoing as new materials are uploaded, including print images and tips for facilitating printing. The model was primarily printed in Polycarbonate for strength, but CPE+ was used when the Polycarbonate ran out. A new piece will be added to enhance the Nacelle Scoops' lighting effect without requiring internal wiring or modifications. This update is pending test results of scoop effects pieces printed with various materials. The model took more than a week to print in its entirety. As a helpful hint, print the tabs last to adjust for individual materials and shrinkage expansion.

A low-quality image of a scoop design showcases varying thicknesses to emulate lighter and darker reds. For those interested in moving images, a video demonstrating the interior Bussard's shining effect is available: http://kmanstudios.com/NacelleTest.mp4 Update: New pictures of unlit Bussard Scoops reveal how light passes through with transparent materials. Renders and parts for the stand have been added. As far as I can tell, this is the complete set of files for this version. Future plans include a full lighting setup requiring an overhaul of interior spaces to accommodate wiring and lighting positions.
