SLS - Orion, Service Module, ICPS - Modifications and Stand

thingiverse

First, I have to express my gratitude to [Terefenko](https://www.thingiverse.com/Terefenko/about) for creating such impressive models. The [Nasa Orion model](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2769143) and the [Interior of the European Service Module](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2789626) were a joy to print and assemble. I made some modifications and additions to the original design, which I'd like to share. # Stand I designed a stand that snaps between the ICPS and ESM, providing stability for the rod. To secure it, use a M3 rod and glue it to the bracket. The stand is attached to an IKEA APTITLIG board. # ESM Solar Array Lock The original solar array lock from Terefenko wasn't tight enough, so I created my own version that fits securely. # ICPS/ESM Lock The press-fitting lock between the ICPS and ESM structure didn't hold together on my print. To fix this, I designed a small bracket that I glued to the ESM structure. # ESM Hydrazine Tanks Instead of printing the ESM Hydrazine tanks in two separate halves, I merged them into one piece with an internal brim that can be removed after printing. # ESM/Capsule Connection To enhance the connection between the ESM and capsule, I added a second magnet to ensure a secure hold. # ESM Interior Access For easier access to the ESM interior, I cut the avionic bottom ring into two halves. One half is glued to the ESM structure, while the other half is attached to a removable "window" that can be pulled out. This allows for the removal of the ESM interior and access to the solar array lock.
