For smaller prints use the previous version : https://www.printables.com/model/163971-moon-rocket A famous comics character's moon rocket. No need for screw, no extra part, no support, no gluing, self assembling and self standing. This model is aimed for big size. I printed mine in PLA on a Prusa i3 MK3. No multi-material needed, all parts are single colored.The STL file object height is only ~6cm, scale up to your desired size:Up to ~100cm tall rocket is possible with a Prusa i3 MK3/4: scale up at 1500% (pushing to 1600% is possible)Up to ~ 77cm tall rocket is possible with a Prusa Mini: scale up at 1200%Up to ~1.6 meter tall rocket is possible with a Prusa XL: scale up at 2500%Scales less than 400% gives very fragile parts.See pictures for a placement/orientation example.The wings are tricky to print. The part should not wrap and stay stick to the bed. A file is available with a reinforced brim (wing-brim-red.stl)Part 1-2-red.stl and engine-red.stl adjustments are purposely tight to ensure stability, use sanding to adjust. gcode files are for a prusa i3 MK3 with a 0.8mm nozzle. Re-slice from STL files for the default 0.4mm nozzle.Some material weight and time can be saved by printing only one perimeter, however keep an eye on the material opacity, in order to not expose the infill structure by transparency. 3mf files contains quite some infill density changes, but might not scale up correctly. Prefer re-slicing from STL files.The rod.stl and all the other STL files are in millimeters, don't convert them to inches if Slic3r asks you.Only STL files are available for the plume and flame. I used a 12v GU4 led bulb for the light.The flame and the Mach diamonds has to be printed with transparent filament, no infill and a single perimeter. Diamonds lock into the flame waves from the smaller to the bigger.For 1500% scaled rockets, see the following remix for a GU4 12v LED light bulb : https://www.printables.com/model/733752-huge-moon-rocket-gu4-light-bulb Assembly video :
