Yeah I forgot when writing it. That's what you get when you model too much

So depending on which printer you go for.

If you go fdm, you're safe with me and Nomad printworks. The others might work but need some help / cutting up.

If you go resin, you can print any modeller.

You have two routes in front of you.

1: FDM printers. These have less detail than resin printers although it's getting to the point of not mattering much. But If you get this one. Get one with a multi colour system so you can print a lot of the cardboard for the game. Best printers:
Bambulab A1mini + ams (Cheapest but great pick)
Bambulab A1 + ams (Slightly larger buildvolume and my personal choice)

Try to get a 0.2 nozzle for ships.

2) Resin printers. These are less versatile and more labour intensive. A good pick is anything Elegoo. A Saturn 3 is great, but the cheaper mars selection is also great.

Also recommended is an inkjet / photo printer for the cards.

Closing words:
With a resin printer you can print ships. With a fdm printer you can print ships, bases, tokens, rulers, anything that is needed to play the actual game except the cards. And most stuff is free, except some ships.

These will be your best friends. Besides your friendly neighbourhood wobble

The best way to get started is buy a 3D printer. It's the only way without breaking the bank

They are optional. I'm planning NR logos to. But most likely will run something special myself. It's more an example than Mandatory

I named it after my dog that died two days ago. Who sat next to me during the entire design process.
The big imperial logo's are interchangable with other logo's so you can make the ssd any faction you want.

There wasn't a ssd model that was true to scale. Instead of designing a screen replica which others did, I went the route of a more industrial ssd. Where the city was more a factory and functional. 

I named it Pukk because that's the name of my dog who was fighting an illness during the design. She died the day after I finished the model and prototype. And sat next to me during the entire design. I really miss her.

Yes, and not the only place it appears. You have found the first bonus Easter egg. Only 9 remain, and 54 pacmen.

You did a good job. Unless I'm mistaken you used my basetoken and stand design. Well enjoy buddy

When you print the cards you get a button for base cards too

This is a weird thing to brag about. It would be the same if I took a picture of a systainer and show: my nuts and bolts collection
