Ptolemy Class Transport

thingiverse

The is the Ptolemy Class Transport. I used the model that nd4spd1919 uploaded as a basis, but most everything is reworked from the ground up in Rhino3D. I removed most of the stuff from the mesh that couldn't be seen and used the rest as a basis for this. The container is a separate piece. You can glue it on, or use magnets to place it on. I removed the sensor dish since I noticed the Starfleet Technical Manual drawings of this ship did not have a sensor dish. It makes sense that it wouldn't have one since it's a transport tug, not an exploration or military vessel. I added phaser turrets, impluse engine plasma vents, and a few other things seen in the Starfleet Technical Manual. Edit 01/11/2017: I added a few "Dry Dock" pieces to help with assembly and gluing. Print Settings Printer: Monoprice Maker Select Rafts: No Supports: Doesn't Matter Resolution: .2mm Infill: 10 to 20% Notes: I used 10% for everything except the container. The container needs more infill due to the internal connection piece which allows you to string containers together. Using Simplify3D, I set the top and bottom layers to 4 lines for each since 3 lines made some "bubbles" on the top of the saucer. I had to scale the pieces down 75% to fit my printer. It's size comparable to the Enterprise snap together kit you can find on this site(http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:133752) at that scale.
