GOODesign

GOODesign is a design studio established in Seoul, Korea by a representative who has been active in product design and 3D CG field for 20 years. As a design company that pursues a reasonable and differentiated digital design, it has always presented a new direction through working with clients such as Hyundai Motor, Siemens Korea and beiersdorf. This time, we have put out the life product for 3D printing by utilizing various technique design based on the shape of the Class-A surface. These products are especially the result of deep research on the 3D printing dominant shape that can not be mass-produced using a mold.

This design was created in commemoration of exceeding 10,000 registered users. That's the Enterprise, the spaceship featured in the movie Star Trek. The Enterprise has several designs, but this time it was the first one in the series.

The shape of this spaceship is very simple, but its structure is difficult to reproduce with 3D printing. Despite the use of two slide structures, I had no choice but to use the support structure.

The folding order is as follows:

1. Remove the support of the propulsion unit.
2. Rotate the disc shaped primary hull and fit it on the protrusion of the vertical connection part.
3. The secondary hull of the middle cylindrical shape slides into place.
4. Fold and insert the front part of the secondary hull to fix it.
5. The propulsion unit slides backwards to remove the protruding support and folds the front part.
6. Print the stand without support and insert it into the hole in the bottom center of the Enterprise.

We've created a support that can be easily removed, so there's no need to set up support.
The disc-shaped primary hull may fall during printing, so please be careful with the build bed / plate adhesion. You can also use Raft.

Please refer to the following video for the folding process.

    I see in the videos of the assembly, that it sits on a stand; is this stand available to download?

    This is the very first model that I have not been able to get the X-1 Carbon to print. Either the first layers fail, or it fails about half way through. There is something about the STL files that the Bambu Labs Slicer (Bambu Studio) can't handle. 19 April 2023

    If you upload a picture of the problem part, we will try to figure out the cause.
    Thank you~

    I finally printed my little Enterprise today on a Bambu Lab P1P.
    Adjusted the following settings in 0,20mm Standard preset:

    Support: Raft layers 10 > lower and adhesion was difficult while using a Textured PEI Plate and Sunlu PLA+ (marble) @65° C /without glue

    But more importantly:

    Strength:
    increased the Wall loops to 3
    Top shell layers to 8
    Bottom shell layers to 6
    Sparse infill density down to 10
    Sparse infill pattern Honeycomb (for better internal stability)
    and
    Infill/wall overlap up to 30%

    Basically I looked at the settings for the Prusa Slicer and adopted them for Bambu Studio.

    Took me 2h30m to print :) + Hope this helps.

    p.s. have yet to print the stand/holder... :P

    Anyone else get NO friction between the saucer bit and the part that connects with the engines? It just droops down for me,

    hi.
    i have a problem to print.
    i have prusa with mmu2s and your profile dosent work. could you tell me the parameter?

    Not new to this or anything, but this print has failed 4 times now. The saucer keeps collapsing and causing spaghetti. Always around 50% completion. Using Hatchbox PPLA on an Ender 5 Pro. Temp is 220 base layer, 190 print temp, no bed heat (using painter's tape on Creality glass bed, 100% fan speed, zhop enabled, retraction distance 5.5 mm at 50 mm/s, combing on Not In Skin. 20% infill, 4 wall layers, .1 mm layer height. I'm moving on to other models, but I'm open to suggestions here.

    It was hard to slide rear engine(?) parts but with a little bit force and some glue it turns out great.
