The original 3D Model came from metlesitsfleetyards on Deviantart

I simply modified the model and prepped it for printing.
The Daedalus Class Starship U.S.S. Essex at roughly 1:300 scale
This design is most prominently seen as a model in both the classroom and in Sisko's office on DS9. That model is labeled as the Horizon, which I misremembered as the Essex when modifying this model. It's a pain to change the text, though, and the Essex was mentioned on TNG, so I just went with it.
This model is cut into easily printable pieces, making use of a clip design from RealAbsurdity's Snap-Fit Enterprise: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:133752
It should print without any support, though you may want to take steps to increase bed adhesion when printing the nacelles.
The ship letters print better than my coloring work makes them look, I'm a digital artist not a physical one.
