I was inspired to create this rocket model after watching the test launch of Space X's Falcon Heavy.It also now includes a two piece Crew Dragon capsule and newly improved TESS model.
As usual, I designed it to be 3d printable without external supports and aseasy as possible to assemble.
All the pieces slot together with a medium to tight fit, so some clean up maybe required on some pieces. No glue (Apart from greeblies) will be required.
I also designed adapters so that 50mm PVC pipe can be used for the main bodysections to reduce printing time. I have supplied greeblies(detail) that canbe glued onto the PVC for some detail.
All pieces fit into each other.The total height would be close to a meter high if the correct number ofsections is used on this model.
The landing legs snap open with the use of pistons and close by clippingonto the body. So it can be displayed with the landing legs up or down.I show the release button on the pistons facing up in my video, but forbetter stability, the piston must be turned around so that the releasebutton is on the bottom.
