Description

This is a 1:100 Scale model of Space-X's Starship Rocket, that is a fully colored and scaled up version of AstroNot's on Thingiverse
It stands at around 4ft (~122cm)

This is a very long print, with the complete printer time being ~10.5 full days of printing (251hrs), and it consumes a LOT of filament.
I set the infill a bit high(10%), however I decided it was best to play it safe rather than sorry, given the looooong print time and high material cost. If you can tweak it to reduce the cost/time go for it!
Will add that the model is quite resilient and has survived 2 falls, with only minor damage. Would not recommend dropping it though as I nearly had a heart attack seeing it fall

Assembly instructions:

See picture for placement/additional detail
Print out all the parts
Connect each section of the 2 parts together (Ship & Superheavy), using the interlocker blocks in the holes.
1. I highly recommend adding CA glue to the holes/block, as well as around the hole to ensure the parts stay together (you can try other glue, but I have not tested them).
2. I would take the time to ensure that each layer is properly aligned before adding the next one, and especially before and CA glue sets in (~1-2mins), as there is significant play in the rotation of each layer.
Add Gridfins to Super Heavy
1. Recommend using CA glue & sticking a Q-Tip in to remove excess CA Glue before adding the Gridfins
Attach Ship Flaps
1. The original model utilized wire to attach the Ship Flaps, however given the scaleup, I do not know what Gage the wire would be, but feel free to experiment
2. Recommend applying CA glue with a Q-Tip to ensure only a small quantity is applied
Stack Starship
1. The hot staging ring can either be permanently glued in place or simply set in place, mine is glued, but only because one of the falls damaged the holding pegs
Enjoy your 4ft rocket!!

I set the outer wall speed to be far slower than normal, to aid the reflectivity of the PLA silk, feel free to adjust it.
My model is printed with BBL PLA Silk, BBL PLA-CF, BBL PLA Basic Silver, and BBL PLA Metal

This starship model was a great project. I'm working on making a second one now. I used all the same filament as M2abrams_tank.

@cyrix3d

Looks great. Could you tell me which colors you used exactly?

Replying to @cyrix3d :

@cyrix3d if he used all the same filament as me, he used: BBL PLA Silk Grey, BBL PLA-CF Black, BBL PLA Basic Silver, and BBL PLA Metal Green

@M2ABRAMS_TANK congrats for the project. I'm looking to the filaments but on BBL store I see these, are they rigth? The PLA Metal Green is used where? DO you have also the tower? Thakns

had fun building this one

@user_3173119519

Which Mechazilla model did you use? Looking to do that once I have printed the booster/starship.

@user_104453173

Halfway through my Starship print, what Mechazilla did you use, it looks fantastic.

@user_3173119519

Replying to @user_104453173 :

I used this Mechazilla model in the end: https://makerworld.com/en/models/905871?from=search#profileId-884457 See my comment on that model for some things to watch out for, I printed this model at 50% so printed the Mechazilla at 76% scale to match up with this Booster/Starship model.

I scaled this down 50% so it was 200:1 which was perfect! definitely took a while but turned out beautifully

I printed this Starship model at 1:160 scale, and the results were fantastic! The details are incredibly accurate, and everything fit together perfectly. The model is well-designed for 3D printing, with clean lines and no issues during the process. It looks amazing on display, and I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. Highly recommend this model to anyone looking to print a Starship!

It looks awesome! I printed it even smaller, without the booster, at a 1:160 scale, and it worked flawlessly!

I’m unclear on which colors of each filament type to get, and which color needs which amount.

nevermind see it in the other comment

@M2ABRAMS_TANK

As I don’t know it off the top of my head, I would recommend downloading the file, and slicing it to see what the quantities for each filament are.

Any chance for a versions printable on the A1 mini?

The designer has replied

@M2ABRAMS_TANK

there could be one, but it wouldn’t be 1/100 scale. or I suppose there could be one, if you want one, I can try and slice it up for you to be still 1/100 scale. will be many more parts

Awesome model and now I need to print it

The designer has replied

@M2ABRAMS_TANK

I honestly gotta say it was well worth the time it took to color & print it!

@user_2620251272

I have started this print and i have to say the detail is amazing. I have one question. How did you paint the colors to where they collect toward the center rather than just the face? my first attempt failed (my own fault) and the infill shows all of the colored faces converging to the center. Ive never been able to color paint this way. Any tips?

The designer has replied

@M2ABRAMS_TANK

Greetings! (I can attest that it is difficult to print... took many a failed attempt before I dialed in the settings) For the color painting, I cant say I did anything special besides ensuring that all the faces were colored(as in no small sections left uncolored)? Perhaps it has to do with the overall size of the model? I unfortunately do not have any further tips than that. Good luck on the printing & future coloring!
