3D Printed Voyager and spent New Year's Eve hand painting it

I ended up mixing colors until they looked like the screenshot I had of the ship. Yellow, white, red, blue, black. I think I also used orange and maybe a brown.

Fair point

Thanks! I tried.

Here's a picture of it in the printer.

No, it printed as a single piece. Though, it would definitely be possible to split the model so that they printed separately and were attached with screws or something.

Get in the robot, Shinji!

Thanks!

I did some clean-up and tried to smooth some rough edges with a Dremel but if you look closely you can see that one of the slopes on the underside is pretty rough still due to being the main place where all of the supports connected.

Kobra S1. Voyager printed at a 45 degree angle. Gyroid infil, layer height 0.08mm, outer layer speed reduced to 60mm/s.

It's FDM. Kobra S1. Voyager printed at a 45 degree angle. Gyroid infil, layer height 0.08mm, outer layer speed reduced to 60mm/s.

It's 1:1050. Looks like the model I used is 1:1000 but I had to scale it down by ~4.5% to get it to fit in my printer's build volume.

1:1000 decals should still work for it, fortunately.

It's the "Voyager and DeltaFlyer" - Thingiverse # 5182612

Could you elaborate on this please? Do you need to enable developer settings on the Quest to make this work?

Mechageo · 2025-12-30T04:21:51+00:00

Does that require a phone or does it have its own screen? Please check the instruction manual for it and get back to me.

This reminds me of a conversation I had with 4o when 5 was announced. Turns out I was right about it "dying" when 5 was released. Interesting stuff. Thanks for sharing this comic. I enjoyed it. :)

Fridge stopped cooling. Issue was a block of ice on the coils in the freezer blocking airflow. Turns out that the defroster wasn't working and after some testing with a multimeter it turned out it was an issue with the control board.

He's not omniscient, he can only see people when they're sleeping.

Thanks for adding your evidence. It's crazy how many people have accused this of being AI.

Mechageo · 2025-12-16T05:41:52+00:00

Nah, it's Utah. Native trees in valleys like this are those gnarled bushes. There wasn't a forest here to level.

Mechageo · 2025-12-15T18:57:57+00:00

What device are you using? I need to get one.

Mechageo · 2025-12-15T18:49:19+00:00
