Volvos in space – a spring cleaning challenge
Detailed inventory and printing plan
I compared whatever pictures of the Chimera Pathfinder I could find with parts I had printed to date. I came to some conclusions on what I still need to print. Bellow you’ll see visualisation of what is needed in case I decided to print original arrangement of the interior, I’m still not certain I want to.
This is original design of the interior according to the printing instructions and reference found on the Internet. 
I'm missing parts coloured in red... that's more than I was prepared for. My estimate is that it will take around 70h of straight printing time to get to the end of the process, that doesn't cover time required for preparation and post-processing. I need a week of good (warm) weather. 
Looking forward to see how this one turns out, I have the model from the kickstarter but have never printed it. I have just started printing their sleipnir and that feels like there is a lot to print.
Thanks.
And yeah, I know what you mean. Sleipnir is bigger that Chimera and I printed that on and off for like 10 months. I actually hope the challenge would make me finish it because otherwise I doubt I would find the strength.
As for Sleipnir, I’d be interested in seeing your progress if you have a project on that, I’m sure I’ll build it as well someday, since Expanse is my favourite book series of last decade.
Just for you I’ve created a project:

The first 2 decks are printed but the rest are going to take a while. I havent read the expanse books but ive seen the first 2 seasons of the TV show, is it like the books or wildly different?
Man, I’m overwhelmed! Duly following. As for the Expanse, the differences are notable, imagine that Avasarala first appears only in 3rd book, not first scene of the first episode, and last series had some major deviation from literary original. The books do much better job in selling main ideas of physics and general qualities of sub light speed space travel and distances involved. Things that are extremely hard to sell on the screen – like 5 hours communication delay which in the book is great devise to heat up situation while in the show would, well take half the series…… Read more »
