[–] JKCalhoun 6mo ago ↗ If you have no 3D printer, .stl files are viewable in the Mac OS Finder. Just download the file, select it and hit the spacebar: a 3D rendering of the .stl can be rotated. [–] 650REDHAIR 6mo ago ↗ This is a really neat tip! Thanks! [–] hbcondo714 6mo ago ↗ Are there any particular 3D printers recommended for these NASA models?
[–] eigen 6mo ago ↗ lots of other 3D models available at https://science.nasa.gov/3d-resources/Hubble 3D Modelshttps://science.nasa.gov/mission/hubble/multimedia/3d-hubble...Curiosity Roverhttps://science.nasa.gov/resource/curiosity-rover-3d-model/
[–] justinclift 6mo ago ↗ Heh, wonder how well this would fly if done with a 3d metal printer and powered by an rc sized jet turbine engine?
[–] Hobadee 6mo ago ↗ > The X-59 experimental aircraft is approximately 100 feet long and is designed to fly at Mach 1.4 (925 mph).I'm sorry, but my 3D printer isn't big enough to print a 100 foot long object, and I doubt PLA will hold up at Mach 1.4
[–] rkagerer 6mo ago ↗ That title is missing the scale. I assume it's not intended to be printed at 1:1?
