3DModels

Tuesday, August 26, 2025

I started this modeling thing as a way to relax from all the projects I had to complete which required too- HARD thinking!

I printed the NX-01 Enterprise as a trial to see how 3D printed models would work and come together. Of course I had to add lights to make it "my own". Buoyed by somewhat success, I decided to try the 1701-D, the Enterprise from Star Trek: The Next Generation (ST:TNG). Scales were different and while I could have scaled the 1701-D down, I decided to print at full scale. The model is HUGE! The disk is almost 24 inches across.

Simultaneously I obtained and printed a Borg cube, at 60% size since 100% was 18" cube...very big. In the Star Trek world, the Borg was a huge ship, something like 3 km "cubed". See photo below.

All model 3D STL files (except Dracula's Castle) were obtained from Gambody.com where you may purchase the 3D-printable files.

Currently (Sep 2025), only the NX-01 is complete, 1701-D about 85% and Borg also about 85%. Just have to put the lasers/phasers in...and a Borg voice.

AFTER these are totally finished, I'll make the T-800 and Dracula's Castle. I want to make the T-800 lifesize but this means many of the parts have to be split in a 3D program in order to make the parts fit on the 3D printer build plate.
