MKM ModelwerxThose who know me, know that I don’t make things easy for myself. I’ve started sanding the <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Olympic?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Olympic</a>’s sphere to remove raised areas and print lines so it matches the filming model. <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/StarTrek?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#StarTrek</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/3DPrinting?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#3DPrinting</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/3DModelling?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#3DModelling</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/ScaleModels?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ScaleModels</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/ModelBuilder?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ModelBuilder</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/MKMModelwerx?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MKMModelwerx</a>

MKM ModelwerxFinally got some work done on the <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Olympic?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Olympic</a>.

MKM ModelwerxAnother model I’ve been after for years. 3D printed Kelvin Timeline Enterprise-A. <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/StarTrek?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#StarTrek</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/SciFiModels?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SciFiModels</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/3DPrinting?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#3DPrinting</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/ScaleModels?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ScaleModels</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/ModelBuilder?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ModelBuilder</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/MKMModelwerx?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MKMModelwerx</a>

MKM ModelwerxHad to modify the pylon support structure. When I did a test fit, the upper sphere half sat properly, but there was a large gap between the lower half and the secondary hull, so I cut out this area at the back so that it could move further aft, now the entire sphere sits where it should. <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/StarTrek?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#StarTrek</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/3DPrinting?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#3DPrinting</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/ScaleModels?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ScaleModels</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/ModelBuilder?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ModelBuilder</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/MKMModelwerx?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MKMModelwerx</a>

MKM ModelwerxWhile I’m printing the last pieces of the Olympic class. I decided to start wiring up the deflector on the lower dome. Created a light box, painted it black and glued it into place.
