Type-11 Shuttlecraft 3D Printing Model | Assembly

ABOUT THIS 3D MODEL

Type-11 shuttlecraft was yet another Federation Starfleet’s beautiful invention to assist intergalactic missions within the Star Trek universe. Most famously, it was assigned to the USS Enterprise NCC-1701-E and participated in the capturing of Data in orbit of Ba'ku. The convenient craft, just like its predecessors, comprised a compact body and two engine nacelles attached to the ventral sides. What was concealed inside it, you can find out with the new Type-11 Shuttlecraft model for 3D printing!

Type-11 Shuttlecraft 3D Printing Model has an immensely detailed design that invites you in. Apart from a classic sleek body with elegant ridges and aerodynamic nacelles, it has an incredible interior. The cockpit and the aft compartment are equipped with seats, control panels, bunk beds, and a table for your crew’s dining and meeting needs. The interior can be observed through the large window and accessed through removable panels and a number of opening hatches. Are you ready for this 3D printing trip?

ADAPTATION FOR 3D PRINTING

Type-11 Shuttlecraft for 3D printing is a static assembly model and its moderation and adaptation for different types of 3D printers took the Gambody team 27 hours in total. 

For you to receive the cleanest 3D printing result possible and minimize the amount of filament needed for generated support, the ship 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. 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 Type-11 Shuttlecraft 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 Type-11 Shuttlecraft which is 16 000 mm. The 3D printing model’s chosen scales are 1:32 for the FFF/FDM version and 1:64 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.
