Here is a moon with a hole on south pole.
Inspired by Leung Chan https://www.thingiverse.com/moononournation/designs

I couldn't have a proper print from his model so I did it myself with blender using a big subdivision on a sphere, and use a heightmap of the moon on a displacement modifier.
That's why the file is that big.

I exagerate the displacement so it's not realistic, the elevation is exagerate so we can see craters.

I recommend to use support because it's a small surface on the plate, so movement can cause a detachement. I had no problem printing it with support at 75° in Cura.

My print on photos is printed at 0.1, infill 100% if you want to light it up, because it's a shell. If you don't plan to light it up, infill as you wish. Support at 75° touching buildplate only, it took about 16h30 on Ultimaker S3. You can print at 0.2 so it would be 8h instead. I think you can scale it at will. On my photos the print is 60mm diameter.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which 3D printer is suitable for Moon?
Any FDM printer should handle Moon just fine. It's been printed on machines like Bambu Lab A1, Prusa MK4, Creality Ender 3, Anycubic Kobra. A minimum build volume of 200 mm is recommended.
Does Moon need supports when printing?
Yes, Moon will probably need supports for the overhangs. Tree supports work well here and are easier to remove than regular ones.
How long does it take to print Moon?
According to the design notes, Moon takes approximately 8 hours to print at standard settings (0.2 mm layer height, 15% infill). Actual print time varies based on your printer speed, layer height, and infill density.
What file format is Moon available in?
Moon is available in STL format. These files can be opened and sliced using free software such as Cura, PrusaSlicer, Bambu Studio, or OrcaSlicer for FDM printing, or ChiTuBox and Lychee Slicer for resin printing. The download is provided through Thingiverse.
