Blimp Airship

March, 2025 Update: Well, you know how kids are—my son and his friends are picky about any little print marks. I had to figure out a way to print this model without leaving any visible mark. So I added a small, easy-to-break stand (like in the photo), which allows slicer print it upright and also makes it super simple to add color rings. I’m using PETG for the support layer, so it pops right off when I’m done (the added stand will break with the support structure together). There are three print profiles: Small (180 mm tall), Medium (241 mm tall), and Large (330 mm tall). The small and medium sizes are perfect straight off the printer, but the large print needs a bit of post-processing—like sanding—to get a flawless finish. Original:After watching the famous Goodyear blimp/airship fly over the stadium, my son insisted on having one printed. Since Makerworld didn’t have the model he wanted, I had no choice but to design and upload my own. Note that I can’t include the Goodyear branding
