Description
The Miniature Space Shuttle is the 3rd in my series of Miniature Rockets. Printed as-is, the model stands 5 inches (12.5 cm) tall, but can be scaled up/down. The space shuttle was designed with a flat bottom, so it can be printed without any splicing of the model. I have also moved the shuttle a little further down the tank (as compared to reality) so the vehicle leans on the tail and can stand up like a tripod.
Print Instructions
Print the following items:
1 Shuttle
1 Tank
2 Boosters
I try to design my models to be printed without support, but printing with support may give a cleaner print.
Assembly
Just as the picture shows, but each booster on either side and the shuttle in the middle. Each component should simply fit and stay on the tank, but I glued mine. If you are one who likes to play around like its launching and take it apart again and again, I would not recommend gluing it.
