SLS Space Launch System 1:144 Scale Model NASA

NASA's SLS Space Launch System Rocket highly detailed model at a 1:144 scale.

• 68.1 cm (26.81") tall
• 634.2 g of filament
• ~36 hours of printing
• AMS NOT Required
• Glue required

Note: All decals seen are not part of the model and were applied after printing

There are two print profiles available:

• The Standard Profile places each large component on a single plate to reduces chance of any stringing
• The Condensed Profile places all components of the same filament on a single plate

Components are listed below and can all be detached from each other

• Core stage
  • Powered by 4 x RS-25 engines
• 2 x solid rocket boosters (SRBs)
• Launch vehicle stage adapter (LVSA)
• Interim cryogenic propulsion stage (ICPS)

  • Powered by 1 RL-10 engine

    ** Carefully break supports off into small pieces before removing, ensuring not to damage the truss section

• Orion stage adapter (OSA)
• Spacecraft adapter
• European service module (ESM)
  • Powered by 1 AJ-10 engine and 8 x R-4D engines

• Spacecraft adapter jettison panel

  ** while this is supposed to be three identical fairing pieces, the model uses a single fairing as it makes it much easier to assemble

• Orion capsule
• Launch abort system (LAS)

Filaments Used:

• PLA Orange
• PLA White
• PLA Grey
• PLA Blue
• PLA Matte Latte Brown

Assembly:

• Simply glue the connectors in to corresponding components, if the fit is too tight I recommend scaling the connectors down by a small amount in your slicer.
• Glue RS-25 engines to core stage engine section, glue RL-10 engine to ICPS, glue AJ-10 engine to ESM, press fit R-4D engines into ESM.
• White cube, white squares, and downcomer ports can be press fit or glued into the core stage

• From bottom to top the order of stacking is:

  Core Stage, LVSA, ICPS, OSA, Spacecraft adapter, Spacecraft adapter jettison panels, ESM, Orion capsule, LAS

• SRBs can be inserted into core stage with connector pins
• Solar panel arrays can be inserted into the ESM when not atop the SLS rocket
