About this model

Remix of my Vintage Mars Lander, modified for printing at 50% scale. The thin walls and exterior details of the full-size mars lander do not scale down well, so I redesigned it to print well at 50%. It has all the same components and the same twist-lock connectors. The walls are 0.8mm thick, so it is best printed with a 0.3 to 0.4mm nozzle and 1 perimeter, to get inner and outer extrusions each of .4mm. Examples shown are printed in MARS 3D PLA. Decals were made by scaling down an image of the original Estes decal sheet, printing on Avery clear label stock with an inkjet printer, then covering with Scotch laminating sheet. (Search on "estes mars lander decals" and you will find it). Mars landscape photo courtesy of NASA and the Mars Curiosity Rover.
