Extended version of Cross Technic's Mercury Space Craft

thingiverse

To have a better view on the details CrossTechnic added to his Mercury capsule, I wanted to increase the printing size to 300%. I also plan to add the emergency tower, which is my own design based on Mercury blueprints. With this done, I started to do further modifications, like to hollow out the capsule (maybe to add interior in later version), modifing the window and removing the retro pack from the heat shield. And finally create a stand ... So I ended up in more effort than expected at the beginning. But to be honest: I wouldn't have the patience to create the nice exterior that CrossTechnic created. I think the assembling process is straight forward. At some places I added 3 mm holes to add filament sticks for better alignment. For the cabine and the stand I recommand supports and for the TowerMain parts, heatshield and cabine a brim. All parts a printed with 0.15 mm, except the window parts (0.06 mm) and the retro straps, heatshield ring and the retro fires, which are printed with 0.1 mm, The uploaded stand is modified in comparison to the attached picture: the slot for control jets now should fit.
