This model is designed specifically for FFF/FDM printers, but you can also find it adapted for SLA models on cgtrader.com at https://www.cgtrader.com/3d-print-models/games-toys/other/sputnik-1-for-sla-printers.The assembly instructions are available in a coming-soon video tutorial. Sputnik 1 is the name of the very first artificial satellite to be launched into orbit around Earth.Satellite-1 or PS-1 was initially created as the Elementary Satellite, a 58-centimeter diameter sphere constructed out of polished metal, topped off with four radio antennas broadcasting distinct signals for easy detection. Amateur radio enthusiasts worldwide were amazed at its ability to transmit across an astonishing breadth of geographical regions using this satellite.It wasn't until Sputnik successfully reached orbit on October 4th,1957, though that tensions skyrocketed and paved the way for what became the famous Space Race during the height of the Cold War era.Driven by the scientific pursuit, groundbreaking knowledge started unfolding right after. With Sputnik as a tool for tracking from ground-level research revealed new clues - invaluable pieces in constructing an atmospheric theory to be refined and analyzed, ultimately resulting in key deductions regarding both atmosphere and space.A valuable wealth of additional details was garnered by analyzing these pulses emitted during its trajectory which also happened to uncover knowledge concerning the Earth's Ionosphere as a significant milestone in scientific discoveries. Scale for this print is around 1:10 while you can achieve accurate Sputnik diameter using an external sphere, measurements like sizes come out to 14.8/20.3/14.8 cm while those attached with bases read out as being about 18.3 by 22/14.8. For convenience we include all file types, all .stl pieces that comprise this structure can easily be stored using appropriate Netfabb or Cura tools, even arranged already prior printing for minimal effort spent at your hands to successfully achieve such a task with our product and model!
