Teletran-1 : MP Scale, Split, keyed

thingiverse

I adore the design of this model but needed it to be significantly larger, ideally 12" tall or more, however my printer isn't capable of producing prints that big (Prusa i3 Mk3). So, I took on the task of splitting it up into sections where seams can be easily hidden. In the process, I also added simple keying so that the parts align perfectly and stick together seamlessly, either with glue or without. The top pieces are printed upside-down, and I highly recommend orienting the tall screen parts parallel to the Y-axis on your build plate to avoid any build plate motion issues common with i3 type printers. Printing went smoothly, but it consumed a whole spool of filament even after optimizing infill and perimeters. Sorry about the subpar lighting in the photo; if I were to decorate this piece, I'll definitely take better images.
