NCC-1701-D Enterprise Warp Core Reactor
Description
<h1>The USS Enterprise NCC-1701-D warp core</h1> This is my own design of the TNG warp core that I've spent dozens of hours creating and trying to make as screen accurate as possible. I hope you enjoy and give credit where credit is due. Note: This is a work in progress. I'm still building my own warp core as I type this. If I find any fitment issues or make changes, I will update the files as needed. <h1>What to print</h1> Print qty 1 of: * chamber glass * chamber glass front * warp core chamber * chamber LED support (you will have to split the model in half and glue together after printing) Print qty 2 of: * power conduit endcap * power conduit inner * power conduit outer * mag coil support * mag coil support detailed * mag coil support back beam Print qty 4 of: * mag coil * led support segment long print qty 20 of: * led support segment small Print two versions of the base (used for top and bottom) <h1>Printing tips</h1> * print the power conduit inner sections in vase mode 1 shell * print the coils with 0% infill and 1 shell * print the chamber upright with supports (see example slicer image attached) * print the LED support pieces with a .2 mm layer height and/or single first layer * print the mag support back beam on it's side with support (see example image) * print the windows, coils and inner power conduit with a transparent filament for the LEDs to shine through <h1>Additional items to finish</h1> * 3x 36" long .062" music wire * WS2812B LED strips (100 LEDs / meter) 10mm wide MAX * LED control board * 5v power source * soldering equipment * various wires and connectors, etc * paint <h1>Notes</h1> * Music wire: cut to smaller lengths and glue around the coils (see example image) this gives the warp core a screen accurate appearance * I purchased the music wire from a local hobby shop. K&S is the brand I believe Amazon sells it as well * LED strips: LEDs must be 5mmx5mm (5050 chips) and 5mm apart from each other on the strip. The strip must be 10mm wide MAX.I use the BTF Ws2812B LEDs purchased from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07BTTY4FL?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1
