3D printer file info

3D model description

[Note: I've run into problems with Thingiverse lately, so I've posted all of the files in this kit as zip files on a Google Drive location, and added preview images below so you can at least see the designs you're downloading. If you'd like to get all the kit files without the tedium of downloading them individually, please go to the Google Drive.

See the README document at the drive location to for better formatted documentation of the kit's contents.]

This is the fifth expansion parts kit meant to complement my original Star Trek Constitution Class Parts Kit (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3652210), providing parts to support Klingon Bird of Prey design and the FASA Canon related Romulan designs from the old FASA Star Trek role playing game. See my Thingiverse Profile (https://www.thingiverse.com/CaptainMojo/designs) for the full list of parts kits I’ve released so far. All parts are meant to be cross-compatible between kits.

This kit supports the following FASA ship classes:

Klingon K-22, D-32, and L-42 Romulan S-11, V-24

Romulan T-10

Romulan V-20

The FASA Star Trek RPG was very popular among us older Star Trek fans who came of age in the '80s and '90s. It lost its license to produce Star Trek in 1988, seemingly because Gene Rodenberry, hot off of the success of TNG season 1, wanted to de-emphasize the military aspect of Starfleet, despite the abundance of uniforms, ranks, and 50-megaton matter-antimatter warheads that all his shows were chocked full of.

FASA Trek provided a tremendous amount of background on a Trek universe that was, in many ways, more realistic and interesting than what Rodenberry and company wanted in TNG and later shows. Although much of this background has been supplanted by later official canon, the ships from this game remain popular among old-school fans.

This kit is based around the Klingon Bird of Prey, seen from Star Trek III onwards. In the FASA universe, these ships were a result of the Klingon-Romulan research pact that also resulted in the Klingons getting cloaking tech and the Romulans getting Klingon starship designs. In FASA canon, the Romulans also built several other designs related to the original Bird of Prey, which are included here as the V-20 and T-10.

Notes on scaling and working with Blender

My target scale for all source files and output STL files is 1:1000. Although
these files have not been extensively tested through printing, they are intended
to be resized to match common modelling and miniatures scales.

Target scale       Scale STL files to:       Notes
1/3900 0.25641026 (25.6%) FASA miniature scale
1/3788 0.26399155 (26.4%) ADB Starline 2400 scale
1/3125 0.32 (32%) ADB Starline 2500 scale
1/2500 0.4 (40%) The Trek modelers "Golden scale"
1/1600 0.625 (62.5%) TOS 3-Ship Set scale
1/1400 0.714285714 (71%) Common resin model scale
1/650 1.538461538 (153%) Modelling scale
1/537 1.862197393 (186%) Common scale for TMP models
1/350 2.857142857 (285%) Large scale

Note that there is great controversy as to how large the BoP actually
is
. The model I’ve
included is scaled to the 88m long FASA K-22/S-11 ship. If you want to adjust to
your preferred size, you’ll need to resize as appropriate. Some common examples:

Ship Length (m) Scale Factor
K-22 / S-11 88 1 (100%)
D-32 110 1.25 (125%)
L-42 / V-24 164 1.86 (186%)
K'Vort (TNG) 330 3.75 (375%)

Blender is free, which to be honest was the
primary factor in my decision to learn it. There are many fine video and text
tutorials available online if you're interested in learning more. For a basic
tutorial on moving and joining objects in Blender(which should be the minimum
you need to know when working with these parts), see this instructables
tutorial
. You
can use File -> Import -> Stl (.stl) and File -> Export -> Stl (.stl) to
load or save STL files in blender.

Note: These kits were built using Blender 2.8.

Post-processing STL output

Although all of the STL files included have been tested as valid watertight
meshes, joining the parts together and exporting new STL files can introduce
small errors that may cause issues with slicing programs. I recommend any STL
files you create are checked using a program like Netfabb Basic free
edition
.
Doing a simple "Close All Holes" repair has fixed all of the issues I've run
into so far. If you do run into issues with mesh quality, please let me know.

Parts list

The following lists provide a summary of each of the included parts. For the
majority of items, the mesh origin has been set so that when you import these
objects into your 3d editor of choice, they are positioned as they would be on
the sample ships provided.

The Bird of Prey and V-10 parts include alternate wing parts preconfigured in
the landing, cruise, and attack modes. The Bird of Prey also includes two
versions of the wings: a thinner more accurate version, and a thickened version
intended to make 3d printing easier.
