THE OVERVIEW
 

I incline myself to space
There was no ghost on the moor
No open window
No monkey's paw

I love Steven Wilson's music, and so I created a set of 3D printable abstractions to represent his discography.

This can be used as a beverage coaster, or just for display. It is square like a CD or vinyl album sleeve.

This is Wilson's 8th solo album, The Overview, released in March 2025. It is an eclectic yet cohesive epic that showcases all of Wilson's facets in two long format tracks, all around the concept of the overview effect that astronauts experience when looking back at Earth from space. 

I avoided the actual album cover as a flashforge  or multicolor photo. Instead, I simplified it into something friendly for FDM regular setups, inspired by album art and tour merch. 
For the main album cover, I wen't a bit 3D rather than just flat, so it's more interesting, but it can't be used as a coaster that way, so I included an alternate version that is indeed flat. 

If you like Steven Wilson's work, don't miss my other album covers.

--------Print instructions----------
 

Printing slowly helps with definition of small details and to reduce imperfections, 20mm/s for example. Input shaper ok.
Infill at least 15% to hold top layers or text above, but you can play with patterns and higher percentages.
I didn't use brims or rafts, but you can if you experience warping, especially in the square corners. Temporary water-based adhesive is useful too.

  • No supports
     

  • Pause-and-change-filament at certain heights to have different colors, even with a regular FDM setup. With multicolor it's even easier
     

  • Scale to whatever size is convenient for you. If the height is too deep or short,  scale it in the Z axis
     

  • Feel free to experiment with colors and top fill patterns


I printed the one you see in my photos switching from galaxy black to grey, teal, and red in case of the alternate one. The sparkly black is perfect for the space motif.
