ABOUT THIS 3D MODEL
As it befits all Crossfield-class starships of the Federation Starfleet, USS Discovery was initially designated as a science vessel. However, following the outbreak of the Federation-Klingon War, the namesake ship of the Star Trek: Discovery series was re-classified as a warship under the command of Captain Gabriel Lorca. Distinguished by the experimental “spore” propulsion drive, the beautiful Discovery is able to jump from realm to realm and once even time-jumped 1000 years into the future!
Today, the Crossfield-class vessel from one of the most popular sci-fi television shows of all time joins Gambody’s catalogue of 3D printing starships! The USS Discovery model for 3D printing features a highly detailed saucer section that comprises three thin rings with elaborate patterns. The author of the model paid careful attention to the peculiarities of the starship’s construction in order to ensure the sophisticated design of the 3D printing saucer, secondary hull and the nacelles of the Discovery.
ADAPTATION FOR 3D PRINTING
USS Discovery for 3D printing is a static assembly model and its moderation and adaptation for different types of 3D printers took Gambody team 37 hours in total. The model’s cutting into assembly parts was made in such a way for you to receive the cleanest 3D printing result possible, to minimize the amount of filament needed for generated support and to ensure the seamless assembly of the spacecraft model.
All assembly parts are provided in STL files of the FFF/FDM version in recommended positions that were worked out to ensure the smoothness of the details’ surfaces after printing and that the 3D printing beginners won't face difficulties when placing the parts on a build plate. When downloading any model's file you will also receive "Assembly Manual" for FFF/FDM 1.0 and DLP/SLA/SLS 1.0 versions in PDF format. We highly recommend that you get acquainted with the “Assembly video” and "Assembly Manual" before getting down to the USS Discovery model.
The model is saved in STL files, a format supported by most 3D printers. All STL files for 3D printing have been checked in Netfabb and no errors were shown.
The model’s scale was calculated from the length of the original USS Discovery which is 750000 mm. The 3D printing model’s chosen scale is 1:1400 for the FFF/FDM version and 1:2800 for the DLP/SLA/SLS version.

Community Support Team To avoid printing issues and achieve the best quality, we highly recommend applying the following settings:
Generic
Below you can find printing recommendations for Cura, Bambu Studio, Simplify3D, Slic3r and PrusaSlicer software.
Disclaimer: The following printing settings are a recommendation, not an obligation. The parameters can vary depending on the peculiarities of your 3D printer, the material you use, and especially the particular assembly part you are working with. Each part that any model comprises often needs preliminary review, and you are free to tweak the settings the way you find suitable.
Note:
You can scale up the model (downscaling for FFF/FDM 3D printers is not recommended!);
All connectors should be printed at 100% Infill.
