Scale model of the Solar System (remix)

thingiverse

This is a remix of https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1746153 I wanted the planets all scaled up without changing the size of the base because I felt like the original model was too big for my desk setup at work, so I scaled everything up (including the sun) by 30% and moved everything around so it would still fit and look presentable. I also made the rings a bit thicker to reduce the chance of them failing during a print. The other reason I did this is so that I could print the whole thing at less than 100% without the smaller planets looking bad. I also remove the moon as well as the text for a cleaner look. Edits were done in Blender and I am NOT a modeler, so the model is far from perfect, but didn't cause me any issues when slicing in CURA. The image was printed on my Ender 3. Unfortunately, I didn't turn on "Not in Skin" for the combing setting, so there are lines on top. Otherwise, it came out pretty well. --- EDIT 9/11/2019: Added a cleaned up version of the model that is just a combination of the base-only and planets-only model so now the planets part of the mesh doesn't penetrate the base, bit sits nicely on top. By request: - Added base-only - Added planets-only
