The Shuttle Hangar of the Voyager is a bit weeird. The reason is simply the Delta Flyer. The size of it is a bit to big. Within the bay, you see it in the original size, outside as well. But it is a bit to big for the door. It seems they simply forgot the real size and they rescale it if it is flying through the door.
BOOKSPOILER – BTW, within the books they corected the Doorsize of the Retrofited Voyager.
Concept Shuttle Hangar:
- Entry Hall
- Main Bay/Room
- additional Doors to othr rooms
- possibility to have activated force fields
- window to control room
- some doors should be opened or closed
- Main Bay/Room should be with light without seeing any LED
- Delta Flyer and other Models should match
- Features?!
- possibility for complete 3D-Print Reproduktion
Entrance and main hangar
First print is for thinking about the space possibilities – it is simply oversized and is under no condition matching. Neverthless it delivers some thoughts to understand that it is heavily to big.
Jumping version by version – iam already on version number 8
below are some samples of the biggest Milestones
You can see already some slots where you can add the doors into it. OR a blueish transparent plastic to simulate an activated force field
As iam printing prototypes quite fast and using cheap filaments, you automatically get some quality driven differences who are caused by the print itself or the used material.
As long as the models gets not deformed, it is not disturbing me. it is just required that it is still functional. For sure the final version should be perfect and should not have such issues 🙂
Version 12 – it is moving on
My Bay gets seriously smaller. i do added some more doors, the Windows gets bigger and the Front is chamfered – NEVERTHELESS – it is still not final and the sites of the Hull are still getting lifted. As new feature i do added a hole into the Roof. This hole should be closed with a transparent or white cap. on the upper side are some LEDS placed to simulate the light
Version 14 – Hangar is perfectly fitting
Below the newest version. the Sides are a bit beveled. this is also the reason why it is now matching.
The newest side-hangar is drafted and will be printed tomorrow. the Entrance hall is also a bit beveled now again to have a door opening simulation.
Version 16 – Pink is out. 😉
Yeah! Pink is out is saying it. my Pink stuff is no longer existing and i do need to use a gray to continue.
I do modified the entry area of the bay. it is more round now. Main reason is that there should be still the possibility of a sliding Door. With the more “Edgy-Design” it was not possible to slide the door up. The hull was always a problem and it disturbing for a perfect slide.
I do also build a first and second version of the outer Bay. I do wanna have an additional Light effect outside of the Main bay, without displaying other parts inside the ship. In some rooms can be some shuttles visible. In some there is maybe some stuff stored. Additionally the higher Windows are not part of the “outer-Bay” wich allows a different Lightening Effect as well.
