The SciFi Vehicle - Light Orbital Drop Shuttle - Civillian Class is a free printable 3D model from Thingiverse by Shiaic1. Not all interstellar or in-system cargo gets transported in military dropships, so I re-modeled this source design into a civilian drop shuttle for your all-purpose basic. You can download the STL file from the original listing below and print it at home.
