Retro Rocket Ship

thingiverse

Smoothly molded from space-age plastics, this retro-styled rocket ship displays the clean, smooth lines one expects from a classic, but with the bolted-on "cone" one expects from Victorian engineering. The protuberant hatch allows easy egress, and the wing pods are socketed to allow easy attachment of accessories. Redesigned from the ground up, this rocket features evenly distributed "wings" with engines mounted at the end of each. The engine shields on the main thruster protect it from debris getting sucked in when it cycles during power up and help to focus the raw energies to improve propulsion. Instructions This retro-rocketship is designed to print without supports or raft. As pictured, it was printed at 0.3mm for speed and 30% infill using PLA directly on acrylic. When detaching, start with the three wings, then the center.
