Description
Reproduction of the Universal Translator from the original Star Trek series. Based originally on the (somewhat inaccurate) diagram in the Technical Manual, and tweaked to more closely resemble screenshots of the actual prop.
For best printing results, I split the model up into several pieces, and built support parts into the model.
Note: This model was designed with my printer's tolerances in mind, with an 0.4mm nozzle and for 0.12mm layers. Some sanding may be needed, especially if different nozzle or layer heights are used. (Using larger layers may negatively impact the parts which screw together.)
