buildable SLS Block 1 Cargo model rocket

thingiverse

This SLS model is designed to be assembled by museum visitors so pieces had to be modified and color coded to enhance the durability and ease of use. I'm sharing the original versions of the files and the "beefed up" version of the engine since the narrow connection of the thrusters had the highest failure when used by the public. To assemble, print: - 1x Cargo in white - 1x core upper in orange - 1x core lower in orange - 1x engine in white - 2x SRB upper in white - 2x SRB lower in white - 3x core cap, filler, connector (see notes on color coding if desired) - 2x SRB cap, filler, connector (see notes on color coding if desired) - 4x SRB-body cap, filler, connector (see notes on color coding if desired) A note on Color Coding: I chose to color code the connector pieces to promote visitor success since this would be unsupervised on a museum floor and used up to a thousand times a day. - The Orion and cargo capsules connect to the upper body segment via Yellow connector. - The two body segments have a Red connector. - The engine attaches to the bottom of the lower segment with a blue connector. - SRB upper and lower segments attach to each other with a white connector. - SRB upper and lower segments attach to the main body with black connectors.
