Space Shuttle Launch (AMS not required)

Experience the thrilling moment of a space shuttle launch with this stunning 3D-printed model, designed to captivate space enthusiasts and model builders alike. The model features a realistic space shuttle taking off amidst billowing, illuminated smoke. The magic happens when you place a flickering LED tea light underneath, giving the illusion of glowing and dynamic smoke as the shuttle ascends.

Model Variations:

This model comes in two versions to suit different 3D printing capabilities:

AMS Version:

For those equipped with AMS (Automatic Material Switching), this version includes detailed black rings on the boosters and the iconic black heat shield on the shuttle. This adds an extra layer of realism and detail to your model.

Non-AMS Version:

If you don't have an AMS, no worries! This version is simplified, omitting the black rings and front shield. Despite these minor adjustments, it still maintains an impressive look and ensures easy printing for all users.

Components and Assembly:

The "Space Shuttle Launch" model is made up of 6 individual parts, all precisely designed to fit together seamlessly. To assemble, you'll need a bit of glue – we recommend using glue that isn’t too runny to ensure a firm hold.

Please insert the model onto the cloud base immediately after applying glue, before it dries. If you wait until the glue dries, the gaps between the holes might no longer align precisely, which can cause issues when you try to attach the rocket to the base.

Glue is not necessarily required: You can assemble the individual parts without gluing them, but they might fall apart with vibrations or shaking :)

Assembly Steps:

1. Simply follow the natural fitting of the parts; the assembly process is straightforward and intuitive.
2. After gluing the components, place the fully assembled shuttle onto the smoke base.
3. Insert a flickering LED tea light into the base, and watch as your model comes to life with a mesmerizing glow.

Features:

• Illuminated Smoke Effect: The model is designed to accommodate an LED tea light, creating a fantastic flickering effect that mimics the fiery thrust of a real launch.
• Easy Assembly: With only 6 parts to put together, the assembly is quick and hassle-free, making it perfect for beginners and experienced model builders.
• Detailed Design: The AMS version includes extra detailing to enhance the realism, while the Non-AMS version offers a simpler, yet still striking, appearance.

Perfect For:

• Space enthusiasts and collectors
• Educational displays and projects
• Decorative pieces for your home or office
• Gifts for fans of space exploration and 3D printing
