This is a 3D printed optimized version of the official NASA 3D model of the Juno spacecraft, meticulously crafted in Tinkercad. To find the original Tinkercad model, click here. Some assembly is necessary after printing. When fully printed, a single solar wing measures two inches across and the entire model is approximately four and a half inches in diameter. A real Juno solar wing stretches thirty feet long, making this printed model a 1:180 scale replica. The Juno mission was launched by NASA to explore Jupiter, arriving on July 4, 2016. Visit the official Juno mission website here for more information. Print Settings Printer: DIY Prusa i3 Rafts: No Supports: No Post-Printing Step 1: Setup Orient the model with the magnetometer facing upwards, as it's distinct from other parts. Super glue or acetone will be needed to attach components together. Step 2: Attach High Gain Antenna assembly Glue or weld the high gain antenna assembly onto the center of the spacecraft using superglue. Position the two thruster towers left and right and the instruments downwards. Step 3: Attach large MWR antenna Glue or weld the microwave radiometer (MWR) antenna to the top left side of the main spacecraft body as shown. Step 4: Attach smaller MWR antennas Attach the two smaller MWR antennas onto the top right side of the main spacecraft body, positioning them as shown. Step 5: Attach Waves antenna Flip the model over and attach the Waves antenna to the main spacecraft body on the underside. Align it at the 90-degree bend point, ensuring symmetry about the solar panel. Step 6: Paint (optional) The final step is optional – use paint to replicate Juno's actual colors by mixing red, blue, black, and silver paint. Apply a few layers of clear-coat spray paint for a glossy finish.
