The USS Orville is space ship from Seth McFarland's homage to Star Trek as part of the Planetary Union, instead of a federation.

I wanted to make a ship to use on a large flat car.  I 3D printed the Orville on my FormLabs 2 as model of the USS Orville. And like all TV future space craft they need a stand.


So I designed a small stand to be cut from Alum acrylic . The color of the Orville in the show is a pewter/silver. Mine is still resin white.


Taking a Planetary Union Logo I 3D engraved it on the side of the stand using  my GlowForge+.

You can even make out the stars in the logo.  I first tried this in clear acrylic.

The 3D engrave function somehow translated the .PDF logo into a 3D engraving see above but it looks better in Aluminum Acrylic with the ship designation corrected.

 Model with stand
 

Now I need to create a flat car support. The model is about 8 1/2" long.
