Summary

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Orion_(nuclear_propulsion)

Ship was designed from the sketch from the original proposal (page 6): https://ntrs.nasa.gov/api/citations/20000096503/downloads/20000096503.pdf

Each part should be printed upright. Most parts will require supports which will require some elbow grease to remove.

Version 2 update:

  • Added some simple removeable supports to the bottom section. Will still need to print with supports on but should allow you to remove the majority of the auto-generated support structure and remove the cone after printing.

  • Split the storage module into 2 pieces for support simplification. Should now be significantly easier to remove supports from the bottom half of the module.

  • Reoriented all parts so they default in the print direction.
