Feel free to opt for one of two options: 1 - Become a Patreon member at the $4 level and after processing (beginning each month) I'll provide you with the files there! You're also eligible for any older and newer models in the works like Trunk, Falcon 9, and others. 2 - Pay via Cults3D instead: https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/various/spacex-dragon-2-crew-capsule I'm a huge fan of SpaceX and with the launch of their Dragon 2 demo-mission I wanted to release a detailed model to celebrate! Release 2 is OUT! All new files are named "release 2", while 1st released files are clearly named "old...". The updated design is closely based on live footage during the docking with ISS. I've also designed a hinge for the nose cone (that's easily replaced if broken). If you print at 100% scale, there are 2 1.75mm holes that you can cut away a piece of filament and push in to keep the hinge-parts moving freely. Don't glue as you might want to replace it if you accidentally break the lid/hinges! Note: Updates will be done to this file (including adding details and Dual-color versions). This model is designed to be printed in PLA with a 0.4mm nozzle on a 200x200mm build plate. Scaling down to around 75% is okay to fit on smaller build plates. Note that scaling to 90% is confirmed with Release 2 (hinged version), while lower than that may cause issues on standard FDM-printers. There's a tiny gap modeled for better fitting in "full" scale. If you want to create a HUGE model, contact me and I'll adjust the gap for you. The circle in the heat-shield and upcoming main capsule is to help break surface tension on the first 2-3 layers, reducing risk of warping, but as a commentator stated; it will add a little to the print time.
