Damn, what an amazing print and fun process of constructing. (edited)

Very happy. Impressive build.

printed without a problem all parts fitted together but have glued for security just needs painting

I haven't painted mine yet, but this print worked great. I was able to scale it up slightly and that meant some creative bed positioning, along with supports, but everything printed cleanly! I split the saucer in half, uh... so that I could print the top and bottom half of the saucer separately which vastly reduced the amount of supports needed.

Looks great and the seam is barely visible. Nice job

I recently printed this model, but I am having issues gluing the nacelles to the pylons. Everything else has come together quite well. For those of you that have printed this and assembled it, do you have any pointers?

Thank you for sharing this model! I went for the single solid model, painted it in PrusaSlicer, then printed two at the same time in 5 colors of PETG on one of our Prusa XL's. I think they came out pretty well, but wish I'd gone with all 0.4mm nozzles instead of leaving the 0.6mm that was in the printer already in for the light gray.

My mom is a huge Star Trek fan so I printed and painted this model for Mother’s Day. It came out great and after a little paint looks fantastic. Thank you for sharing this.

This. Is. Awesome!!! Printed the Enterprise with silver, display base with marble, and stands with wood. All PLA. Amazing model!

Leaving primary assembly for the person who asked for the print. The base was my my 2nd two color single extruder print. Base is R3D Black PLA and Jayo Silk Red Copper. the Jayo silk has been opened in my dry box for 3 years. Amazed it printed well. Only issue with the make was the satellite dish.

Cura for some reason is not slicing the emblem insert correctly for me. It is cutting out pieces of the outer ring on the emblem. Everything else has been just fine. Any ideas?

@RamboSquirtl_1206006 i don't know cura but look for a thin wall option

@Dsk001 That's what it was. Had to enable print thin walls setting. Appreciate the response!
