I made my own version of Justin Watson's Starfarers of Catan Booster Ring.
I wanted to make mine in TPU "flex" filament. This way, I could make it fit the mothership more tightly and not spin around. And the grip on the boosters could be tighter, but still easy to insert and remove.
I made the whole thing a bit smaller, added a bit more material around the booster notches, and narrowed the openings.
In the unlikely event that your original booster clips aren't already broken, you may have to break them off to get this to fit.
Print instructions
TPU adheres extremely well. I put a layer of masking tape on my build sheet to make it easier to detach the print.
TPU is famously bad at bridging and overhangs, so I printed with supports. I worried the supports might be difficult to remove, but it wasn't a problem. It all came out in one piece. Just a little bit of plucking with needle-nose pliers yielded a passable print.
TPU is also known for being stringy. I printed my booster rings one-at-a-time, to avoid stringing between multiple instances.
