Mods and Add-ons for AstroNot's Starship Complex

thingiverse

It's frustrating how fast things change with the rapidly evolving StarShip design. I may have to tackle the booster at some point. The current design removed a bunch of hydraulic boxes and put in longer strakes. But one thing that stood out for me is the hot staging ring. So I tried to make one that would just fit on top of the booster. It only needed snug standard support to the build plate only, and 3 interface layers. This avoided internal supports. I also modded the grid fin slightly to fit the holes, and added some manual tree support to the front flaps to get a more reliable print than I could with my slicer's supports. If this helps you, enjoy! Of course, I also need to modify the ship QD arm and probably lots of other things. Maybe a showerhead blast deflector? UPDATE: I really wasn't satisfied with the mash up I did on the first go-round. So I rebuilt the ring thing from scratch. V2 prints much better, right side up, minimal support to the build plate for the center only. It fits the finish model better, too.
