Own Voyager - each and every one: NASA laid out 3D models of satellites and asteroids for fans of 3D printing

Habré quite a lot of people who are interested in the topic space, spacecraft and aerospace industries. In addition, here, Habré, there are many owners of 3D printers. Now these two passions can be combined.

The fact that the agency NASA has created a 3D model and put interesting objects. Total created 21 models of spacecraft and asteroid. For example, there Kepler, Mars Odyssey, Rosetta, Voyager (as without it, the first spaceship in human history?), Cassini, Pioneer, LRO and other devices. In addition, the model laid asteroid Eros and Itokawa, and education model on the surface of other planets (Gale Crater, for example, which has attracted a team Curiosity).

course, the base objects available for printing, will be expanded. Models are created by scaling the original devices / objects with conversion models in STL (there Blender-version). This may cause some difficulties in printing, so that the owners of some printers have a little tricky.

NASA is going to bring to the project not only in-house expertise, but also enthusiasts of outer case from the outside. On this page , for example, has a texture and images, which can be useful 3D masters do when creating their own models of space objects as artificial and natural origin.

With regard to the current base models, each of them is reduced to 10 centimeters in length / width, so now your Voyager can stand on your own desktop.
