Mars 7x Globe in 2M Facets print ready

thingiverse

This is the print-ready version of the original Mars model from Thingiverse (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:408034) created by GlobeMaker. I chose to print it in high-quality mode, so this is a thread-coupled version of Mars split into halves along longitude to enable smooth printing of Mars' mountains and Valles Marineris, also known as the Grand Canyon of Mars. Firstly, I corrected the original model file due to its inconsistencies. Then, I split it, hollowed it out, added threads to both halves for easy assembly (I used my own thread scad, which is an old development). Next, I produced scaled versions at x0.2 and x0.4 with embedded ring support to ensure proper printing of the dangling joint edge between the two halves. This support ring is 0.4mm thick for a 0.4mm nozzle print to minimize plastic usage. If someone needs this ring support but lacks experience with modeling tools like Blender, just ask me to create a new version for other nozzles.
