USS Enterprise NCC-1701-E 3D Printing Model | Assembly

ABOUT THIS 3D MODEL

The graceful NCC-1701-E is the sixth successor of the name “Enterprise” and the pinnacle of the Federation Starfleet ship design and armament configuration. Although longer than previous units seen in Star Trek, its internal space is significantly more compact and hosts a smaller crew dispatched on special missions. The cutting-edge ship is not to be used lightly in battles, but it would be perfect for your collection of 3D prints! 

Our contributing 3D artist designed the impressive Enterprise NCC-1701-E in the form of a 3D model for you to recreate its advanced beauty at home. The oblong ship with the swept-back nacelle configuration is illuminated by hundreds of viewports and powerful engines that cut through the fabric of space. The 3D printing model allows you to install lots of LEDs and create an incredibly realistic display of your favourite starship. 

ADAPTATION FOR 3D PRINTING

USS Enterprise NCC-1701-E for 3D printing is an static assembly model and its moderation and adaptation for different types of 3D printers took the Gambody team 35 hours in total. 

For you to receive the cleanest 3D printing result possible and minimize the amount of filament needed for generated support, the USS Enterprise NCC-1701-E was divided into convenient assembly parts.All assembly parts in the FFF/FDM 1.0 version are provided in STL files in recommended positions that were worked out in order to ensure the smoothness of the details’ surfaces after printing and that the 3D printing beginners won't face difficulties when placing the parts on a build plate. After downloading any model's file you will also receive "Assembly Manual" for FFF/FDM 1.0 and DLP/SLA 1.0 versions in PDF format. We highly recommend that you get acquainted with the “Assembly video” and "Assembly Manual" before getting down to the USS Enterprise NCC-1701-E model.

The model is saved in STL files, a format supported by most 3D printers. All STL files for 3D printing have been checked in Netfabb and no errors were shown.The model’s scale was calculated from the approximate length of the USS Enterprise NCC-1701-E - 685 700 mm. The 3D printing model’s chosen scales are 1/1400 for the FFF/FDM version and 1/1800 for the DLP/SLA version.

Below you can find printing recommendations for Cura, Bambu Lab, Simplify3D, Slic3r and PrusaSlicer software.

Disclaimer: The following printing settings are a recommendation, not an obligation. The parameters can vary depending on the peculiarities of your 3D printer, the material you use, and especially the particular assembly part you are working with. Each part that any model comprises often needs preliminary review, and you are free to tweak the settings the way you find suitable.

Note:

You can scale up the model (downscaling for FFF/FDM 3D printers is not recommended!);

All connectors should be printed at 100% Infill.
