YOU CAN FIND THE LEFT GLOVE WHICH IS WEARABLE HERE: https://makerworld.com/en/models/444521#profileId-350807

As an avid space fan and collector of all things related to space, I have been working on several replica's to go along with my collection of flown and non-flown items. Neil Armstrong's gloves do not go for sale often so off to the 3D printer we go ;)

This is part of a traveling collection that I have where I give lectures to the community on space history and the future of space travel. These participants get to see and hold real items that have flown in space, and now with something like this, they can handle a really cool replica from the Apollo era.

This file originated from the Smithsonian Museum utilizing some awesome tech to make this available. With this remix, there are a few profiles I have added here. The main file has a hard cut between the hand portion and the arm portion. This was done in an effort to have a seamless color change so when put together it appears that it was printed as one piece. There is also a file that has a better color match, but when joining the two pieces together you may end up with a seam. These two profiles are colored and meant to not have to do any post processing unless you want to weather it.

There is also a non painted profile so you can print the two pieces, join, then paint. I have also added the raw original file under the RAW file section. Lastly, there are two 0.2 layer height profiles, one for standard size printers, the other for the A1.

I really like the one I did painted in BS because when other people handle it, especially at events, it is so cool to say the whole thing is 3D printed. However, printing it in one color saves a ton of time, and filament, plus, you can get some good details by hand painting.

BREAKDOWN OF THE DIFFERENT PROFILES:

• NO WHITE ON BOTTOM- The top portion of the glove will not have white on the bottom part. This helps with a clean break between the top and bottom portion.
•  WITH WHITE ON BOTTOM- Has the white accent on the bottom to better match the actual glove 
• 1 COLOR 2 PARTS- Single color with the model split to fit standard beds. This helps reduce the time and waste, but will need to be hand painted.
• NO WHITE ON TOP PORTION- No white at all on the top portion, this removes the white I added for the velcro. This saves about 9 hours.
• .2 layer height- Just the standard one but done at .2 rather than 1.6 to help save some time.

This file is for educational/personal use only.

Here are the filaments I have used after testing out a few different ones, these yielded the best results for me (affil. links) :

• eSUN Upgraded Matte PLA Filament
• Metallic Silver Matte
• OVERTURE PLA Matte Light Blue

Neil Armstrong’s Apollo 11 spacesuit was digitized using state-of-the-art techniques in 3D scanning, photogrammetry, chemical analysis, and CT scanning. The museum partnered with the Smithsonian Digitization Program Office (DPO) to scan and perform high resolution photogrammetry of the spacesuit. We began in April 2016, with 3D scanning Armstrong's extra-vehicular activity (EVA) gloves.
