Dragon Lander 3D print model

Human: I created two versions of this Dragon lander package, with version one being larger and fitting into the larger fairing on the Falcon heavy. Version two is a more accurate replica and fits Stage two of the rocket. It's 29% smaller to fit in that area so there isn't a detailed scaled down model included as it would be too small. I designed this Dragon replica as an added feature for the Falcon Heavy but ended up publishing it separately since it turned out to be adorable. Community interest led to its creation. My design made the lander's hatch able to open and close, along with a working nose cone hinge. I also included chairs inside and designed all 20 parts to slot or clip together without needing glue. As per usual with my models, no supports were necessary when printing it. It can be printed in a larger size while still functioning properly. Important print settings for this model include using a 0.1 layer height, 0.8 shell thickness, and 0% infill with approximately 2.8m of filament and around five hours to complete. For the floor and base, I used .15 layer height, 0.8 shell thickness, and 25% infill with roughly 2.48m of filament and about three hours to print it. Smaller pieces required varying print settings but were all completed without support. It weighs approximately 50 grams and can be downloaded in .obj, stl, and 3ds max formats along with the g-code used for printing the prototype. I have provided as many details as possible since it's challenging to find good photos of the lander's interior, so this design was optimized for easy printing while remaining somewhat accurate.
