Here are the first in-progress shots of the SSV CAD model being built with Rhino 3D. Most of the structure is worked out, but there’s a lot of surface detail to be fleshed out (is there *anybody* with the ability to take screenshots from the “2001” BluRay???). The model is being built for accuracy first, then some of it will be backed off a bit for the actual 3D printing process.. Some of the important details, especially those along the cables suspended alongside the spokes (the stuff in green), would be probably impossible to print, mold and cast reliably at small size, so some adjustments may be required.

  1. Hi Scott,

    perhaps you could do the spokes with photo etch. Please have a look at our website for the services we provide for photo etched parts.

    Regards,
