Big Dipper Constellation 3D diorama

thingiverse

Human: A stunning 3D model showcases the position of major stars in the iconic Big Dipper asterism (constellation). As viewers peer through the ring, they witness the stars exactly as they appear from Earth's perspective. This innovative model effectively demonstrates that constellations are not flat formations, but rather three-dimensional arrangements of stars. The Big Dipper is an ideal constellation for this demonstration, with its furthest star situated only 2.5 times farther away than its closest counterpart. In stark contrast, some constellations boast ratios in the hundreds. Print Settings Printer Brand: LulzBot Printer: TAZ 4 Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.2 mm Infill: 20 Post-Printing To enhance visibility of star stands and their positions, I've used a marker to paint the stands black. An alternative approach would be to apply paint directly to the stars themselves. Replacement parts are included in case any components break or become damaged during use.
