3D model history
The USS Excelsior NX-2000 carries the weight of one of Starfleet's most famous technological gambles. Introduced as the lead starship of its class, this vessel was designed not just to explore, but to redefine faster-than-light travel with its experimental Transwarp Drive. This prototype designation, confirmed by the NX registry, placed it in a unique position within the Star Trek universe—a singular federation starship built for a singular purpose. Although the system ultimately failed under sabotage during its pursuit of the hijacked Enterprise, the core structural design was sound, paving the way for the reliable USS Excelsior NCC-2000 variant that would serve Starfleet for decades. This original configuration captures the ship at its most ambitious, making it a must-have for enthusiasts of sci-fi starships.
This USS Excelsior 3D model translates that lore into a stunning, tangible collectible. A masterclass in movie 3D models, this 3D model of a spaceship offers supreme versatility for display. It features superior detailing that captures the original prototype's appearance, including your choice of hull markings (with or without lettering) and a unique lighting configuration for the warp engines, allowing you to choose between the canonical look or the unique transparent stripe illumination. For collectors who wish to chronicle the entire class evolution, this Star Trek USS Excelsior model stands ready to serve as the crucial predecessor to the later production spacecraft.
3D printing model features
Model-specific features:
- Captures the USS Excelsior NX-2000 prototype inspired by the Star Trek universe, highlighting its experimental Transwarp Drive era design.
- Three hull options: one smooth variant without lettering (v1), another is clean without any indentations on the saucer (v3), and one with all embossed registry markings (v2).
- Designed to support optional LED illumination for both hull and warp nacelles, including a non-canonical effect where the black stripes are printed in transparent material for a unique glowing look.
- Comes with a dedicated display stand that complements the ship's sleek silhouette.

Below you can find printing recommendations for Bambu Studio, Cura, Orca Slicer, PrusaSlicer, Simplify3D, and Slic3r 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.
