We're glad you asked! We have some tips for achieving clear parts for the USS Enterprise NCC-1701-A model. There are several ways to get clear windows: If you're using a filament printer, experimenting with different transparent filaments can yield great results. While clarity can vary from brand to brand, some offer better transparency than others. You can find a comparison of transparent filament brands here: thrinter.com/10-transparent-filaments/. Alternatively, if you're using a resin 3D printer, the transparent resin can provide excellent clarity, surpassing filament printing in quality. For those who prefer manual assembly, materials such as clear plastic sheets and various types of glue can be used to create clear windows. Vacuum-forming techniques also offer control over achieving desired transparency levels.

Yes, From the description “3 versions of USS Enterprise NCC-1701-A STL files for FFF/FDM and DLP/SLA - files for all versions are available for download after the purchase”
Thanks for asking! As @JamesEzell correctly pointed out, the USS Enterprise NCC-1701-A is available in three different versions: FFF/FDM, DLP/SLA, and DLP/SLA Lite (which contains fewer assembly parts for easier assembly). Our Team carefully prepares these versions, taking into account the specific requirements of different 3D printing technologies, their respective materials, and the average dimensions of these printers. For new customers, we have an exclusive "New Customers Double Offer". Enjoy up to 30% off your first order and receive 50% of credits back to your account.

Thanks for your question! It's awesome that you're considering adding LEDs to the USS Enterprise NCC-1701-A model! This model comes with tunnels for LED wiring, making it perfect for lighting up the spaceship. While we don't recommend specific LED or electronics kits, this particular model is compatible with the Polar Lights kit. Plus, our active Facebook community is a fantastic resource for advice from other builders who've tackled similar projects: facebook.com/groups/183216945475583.

Could this all be resin printed? It seems like its a lot of smaller parts.
