Gemini Space Capsule

thingiverse

The Gemini capsule and service modules originated in the 1960s, aiding in Apollo program's success. I found a basic model on Sketchup (http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=13ddfafa0b41d8f77550eb58de5306fc&prevstart=48) that was round, unlike other faceted models. I plan to add raised lines for detailing. The model impressed viewers after rescaling and 3D printing with settings: Layer at 0.34, Fill at 5%, Shells at 3, and Supports on. Concave parts were filled with support material to prevent bridging issues. Printing stopped after side vents on the service module, followed by a switch from white to black filament.
