Space Shuttle

Hey there!

In case you like space stuff, this might be a nice item to decorate your desk.

The rocket is spit into two pieces which are simply plugged together when finished. Therefore this print works completely without rafts or support. (However, the gap between the booster rockets is approximately 12mm wide at 150% and the printer creates a bridge here. Bigger scales resulting in a wider bridge may cause a failed print). It also allows the use of multiple colors. The color change within the pieces where made with prusa's colorprint function (using the M600 gcode) , which can be found on prusaprinters.org. The printer just stops, moves away from the object and waits for the filament to be changed manually to allow single-extruder-multi-color prints.

The "hinge" or "nose", whatever you want to call it, on the main fuel tank may need a little afterwork in order to get the gap between the shuttle's engines and the smoke as small as possible.

It was not entirely my idea, actua
