Remember that 3D-printed spaceship that I had started making last year?

I got a new printer late in 2021, and decided to start printing it from the beginning, and the results have been more than satisfactory for me.

The main issue that I had with what I had done last year was the overuse of support material, rendering the printed pieces almost unusable without a lot of work.

I also followed the directions more closely this time, configuring the printer to the optimum settings per the ship creator, and realizing that MINIMUM supports were necessary for printing.

The results as of this morning:

I should have everything finished this coming weekend.

And as of now, I’m still not sure what I’m going to be using it for, primarily.  It can be my crew’s ship in Five Parsecs from Home, but most if not all the game play for that takes place planetside.

In any case, it will be a nice touch of nostalgia around the house, much like it was when I was 12 or so.
