This is Epstein's Yacht from the series “The Expanse”.  

It was created by Chris Kuhn and posted by owlstraw on Sketchfab as a 1pc model .  

The Expanse is one of my all-time-favorite series and love the many different spaceships and unique design elements.  I love all of the ones here and want to share with other makers as able.  

I'm still trying to learn 3D Builder, Meshmixer etc. However, I was able to split this up using only PrusaSlicer.  I know there are far-better ways to slice this for printing so by all means - please do so ;)

I printed this with my AnkerMake M5 LH 0.15, 15% infill and some tree supports depending on which part was printing.  I have the antennae printed and just need to print and attach.  

If you choose to do this, make sure to orient the “middle ball” and other aspects of this; i placed the larger antennae on the wrong side of the smaller model I made, and thankfully didn't make that same mistake on the larger one. 

from SketchFab - “The ship is a solid, well-designed and well-built small yacht with a small living space. The ship had been designed around a standard engine configuration and used a well-known build code.”

Differences of the remix compared to the original

The original on Sketchfab was uploaded as .FBX, .GLB, glTF.

I used the .FBX file, converted to a .STL, brought it into PrusaSlicer to repair the 21,8712+ meshs prior to slicing and printing.
