A second design for my asteroid miners. This ship serves as a tugboat for maneuvering asteroids for mining operations.

This ship prints in about 6hrs on an Ender-3 at 45mm/s print speed. No supports should be necessary, and the ship is designed to be printed flat with no bottom details.

A 12.5% scaled squadron version (three ships on a single base) is included if you are more interested in fleet-scale gaming.
