fast hollow print.

i would recommend infill for that version

Please stop uploading these rocket ships!! My wife is going to kill me if I print anymore of these....! (keep them coming, they are very awesome!)

On the subject, what program are you using to create all this cool stuff?

Thanks,
I mostly use Truespace(5) for the geometric models (StarDreck series is all truespace)
tinkercad is a good geometric modeling tool as well (fairly shallow learning curve)
Sculptris i use for more "organic" models.
I have tried a few other tools, but truespace has some really great modeling tools.
Modeling rockets and other geometric stuff is very fast once you know the program.
If you do get a copy of truespace 5 off the web and can't find a serial number,
send me a mail and i'll forward mine.
calagari (which made the program) released the last version as free, so I am
operating under the assumption the earlier versions are also free.
Personally I find version 5 to have the cleanest user interface, and fits my work flow.
7 (the last version) has lots of features that are geared to rendering for video etc, and the modeling
interface is not as intuitive. i also use version 3.2 on a old netbook because the plastiform tool
is really awesome. unfortunately 3.2 does not run on my newer laptop.
