Apollo 11 Lunar Module - STL for 3D printing

※ This is a science textbook for decorative or educational purposes.

The Saturn V rocket gained a lot of popularity. So, to respond to the popularity of those fans, I planned and designed a lunar lander with related items. However, this item was very difficult to design.

Above all, there was great difficulty in designing the bridge. The moving structure was complex, but its thickness was very thin, making it difficult to realize. This was a very big challenge for me. So some modifications were inevitable, but most of them were realized.

And most of all, I feel a great accomplishment in expressing the texture of the Lunar Module Thermal Blanket (Foil). By expressing this, it shows more realistic completeness than any other Lunar module.

There are a few precautions to take when printing and completing this design.

Silky filament is very effective when printed, but the physical characteristics of this filament are very soft and weak, so care must be taken in this regard.

The Rcs Thrust Chamber Assembly Cluster, which is made by folding, comes in two pairs of two shapes. Before attaching them with adhesive, please fold and check whether the pair on the entrance side and the pair on the opposite side (back?) fit well before attaching them.

In addition, please check the location of small parts such as various antennas by referring to photos and videos before attaching them.

The joints of the landing gear are very small and delicate, so if you move them too much, they may wear out and fall off, so it is better to display them rather than play with them.

If this joint is loose from the beginning, increasing the material flow or extrusion multiplier will make the joint stiffer.

Please remove the support attached to the landing gear of the lower body (Rover) before assembly.

Lunar surface sensing probe can be optionally attached if necessary.

Please check out the video for more details on printing and assembly.

I hope lots of love from spaceship and rocket fans.
