USS Voyager 3D Printing Model | Assembly

ABOUT THIS 3D MODEL

Oh, she’s a beauty. Which one’s that?

The USS Voyager. She made her name farther out than any of those other relics had ever gone. I was reborn there. She was my home. Her crew were my family. 

USS Voyager Federation Intrepid-class starship was operated by Starfleet from 2371 to 2378. It can be called the finest of the Starfleet vessels. Іconic design, versatility, and efficiency of the starship make it a truly unique starship. Voyager boasted some of the most advanced sensor equipment in the Federation fleet and could reach a maximum sustainable speed of Warp 9.975. Voyager was famous for its seven-year journey across the Delta quadrant and other considerable advancements.

Inspired by the legendary science fiction media franchise, our contributing 3D artist created the USS Voyager model for 3D printing. The starship has several design choices that allow you to show creativity while painting and displaying the model. A tiny shuttle can be stored in the shuttle bay of the USS Voyager. You have the option to install LEDs to create an incredibly realistic display of your favourite starship.

ADAPTATION FOR 3D PRINTING

USS Voyager for 3D printing is a static assembly model and its moderation and adaptation for different types of 3D printers took the Gambody team 37 hours in total.

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. When 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 Voyager 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 length of the USS Voyager starship which is 345 000 mm. The 3D printing model’s chosen scales are 1:700 for the FFF/FDM version and 1:1400 for the DLP/SLA version.

Below you can find printing recommendations for Cura, 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.
