<p>We all know <a href="https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Zefram_Cochrane">Zefram Cochrane</a> invents warp drive on earth in the 2060s. Here he is immortalized with a status similar to the one outside Bozeman, Montana.</p><p>I believe this particular model (remixed from <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2850556">thing:2850556</a>) was modeled after or taken from Star Trek Online, since you can see screenshots from the game that look very similar.</p><h4>Remix</h4><p>Beyond parting the original file into smaller pieces I also included a <i>Z</i> on his belt buckle to make it a bit more obvious. The feet have holes for threaded M3 inserts. The pedestal has 3.3 mm holes for M3 screws aligned to a 30mm grid. See diagram attached.</p><p>Mods done in Blender.</p><h4>Printing</h4><p>This model is quite large (285 mm tall) when assembled. I printed it out of ASA to be UV resistant, but perhaps the better strategy would be to print out of something like PETG then use a UV resistant spraypaint. ASA warps a bit so fitting the arm portion into the torso took a bit of JB Weld to clean up the gap created by warping. I used acetone to assemble everything else.</p><p>The <code>3mf</code> file contains painted-on supports and variable layer heights for a 0.6mm nozzle.</p>
