I own a Makerbot and a RepRap (not functional yet). I have been playing with orbiter for years now, but don't own a single space model. I really want to be able to print out some space models, but currently the website I use most of the time to get my models to print Thingiverse, doesn't have any rocket models yet. So here is what I am offering.
I really want the following rockets
Any rocket that has carried a person to space, so Soyuz, Mercury, Apollo, Shuttle, or any that are likely in the near future Taurus II, Falcon 9, Atlas 5, Delta 4 heavy. Or any of the new space rockets out there like Masten, Armadillo, Space Ship II.
If you are the 1st to upload an STL file under the GPL licence to Thingiverse of any of these rockets, I will print it out and send it to you with a big thank you card.
Even if it's not on the list, if it's cool, and you want the model, just PM me and I will likely send it to you.
For us to be able to print it it must:
a. have a flat side that allows it to sit on th surface
b. has no more than a 45 degree overhangs
c. be a manifold solid
d. no parts thiner than .5mm in thickness
If you want to know what it would look like printed you can download a program called Skeinforge for free that will "slice and dice" the design for you.
I hope this is appropriate for this forum, but I really couldn't think of a better place to find the people who could design these rockets.
Hope to have my wife yelling at me for all the flat rate boxes I am sending in the near future!
Just PM upload to Thinigiverse and PM Spacexula over there, or me over here and I will print it off for ya.
