SpaceX Dragon 2 Crew Capsule (updated; more STLs)

Prints (-2)

Description

WARNING: Pinshape are not able to sell this currently (server issues, as seen in comments).  Feel free to do one of the two options: 

1 - Become a Patreon ($4 level) and after you are processed (beginning each month) I'll get you the files there! You are also eligible for any older and newer models in the works like Trunk, Falcon 9 and others.  

2 - Is to pay via Cults3D instead: https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/various/spacex-dragon-2-crew-capsule

I'm a big fan of SpaceX and with the launch of their Dragon 2 demo-mission I wanted to release a detailed model to celebrate!

Release 2 is OUT!  All new files are named "release 2). 1st released files are clearly named "old..." updated design is closely based on live footage during the docking with ISS. I've also designed a hinge for the nose cone (that's easily replaced if broken). If you print at 100% scale, there are 2 1.75mm holes that you can cut away a piece of filament and push in, to keep the hinge-parts to move out. Don't glue as you might want to replace it if you accidentally break the lid/hinges!

Note: Updates will be done to this file (including adding details, and Dual-color versions)

This is designed to be printed in PLA with a 0.4mm nozzle on a 200x200mm build plate.  Scaling down to around 75% is OK to fit on smaller build plates.  NOTE scaling to 90% is confirmed with Release 2 (hinged version) Lower than that will be troubles on standard FDM-printers.

There is a tiny gap modeled for better fitting in "full" scale. If you want to create a HUGE model, contact me and I'll adjust the gap for you. The circle in the heat-shield and (upcoming) main capsule is to help break surface tension on the first 2-3 layers, reducing risk of warping, but as a commentator stated; will add a little to the print time.

There are some issues with this model that I would expect not to have with a paid model. The part orientation is wrong for 3D printing for several parts. The heat shield has several significant issues: it has a hollow circle in the bottom for no apparent reason which uses additional filament on perimeters, and it has a weird gap on the largest outer circle that is hard to print. I'd also ask the designer to remove the bottom from the capsule; it's unneeded and wastes a lot of filament. Also if the body was hollow, it would allow the user to post process and clean up the inside of the model. The model also has a ton of polygons (381k) that over complicates tool-paths; my print time on the main body was 24 hours which is double what a refined model of this size should take. Overall it's an alright model and I wouldn't have any complaints if it were free but I wouldn't purchase this version again.

Hi, Do I need to add any extra tree supports for over hangs etc, or does the file print as is. Scaled 60%, using PLA on flashforge Inventor 2 printer

Oh, it seems to print as-is - the MainBody is what I was talking about. So far so good

Hi, any plans to integrate the areas under the Super Draco engines with the heatshield so they can be printed in black?

Hi! I don't have any better files really to offer than the STL-files. What changes are you looking to do?

Purchased and downloaded these files and the prints are coming out great. I am printing on a 330x320 print bed with no scale adjustments to the model. It is really looking great. I have printed the body, heat shield, and a couple of the smaller parts - all look perfect (at least as good as my printer has ever done).

Its been this for days now! Aaargh, I got you two options; Either become a patreon ($4) via https://www.patreon.com/3DprintTechDesign where you can get the model as soon as you're charged (happens beginning every month, so now is perfect). You will also get access to updates and new models in the same class if you stay a patreon =) 2nd option is to pay the Pinshape sum via http://paypal.me/amid2d3d and use your email as comment and I'll get you the files as fast as possible.
