Kerbal Space Program HECS-planter

A small space probe that somehow failed and fell back to the surface.

Its debris are now housing some plants :).

Resolution:

Infill:

10%

Filament: Formfutura PLA Titanium-silver / Champagne gold

Notes:

The parts are roughly 1:10 scale to the ingame measurements.

In 100% scale it fits 60mm pots, you can scale it according to your needs. There are two sizes for the inset that goes into the container to adapt for different height pots.

I also made a larger one which is 300% scale. It is printed with a 0.8mm nozzle and 0.25mm layer height.

The main part is made with Formfutura Galaxy-PLA Titanium-silver, the heat shield is made of Champagne-gold Galaxy-PLA, the stack-separator is made of Colorfabb PLA and the badge is made of Ultimaker PLA (the light blue is not available anymore as far as I know) and printed with two 0.25mm nozzles.

The badge and the stack-separator are made to be printed with dual-material machines but you can also print them together (use the merge models function in Cura) and paint the arrows and use the pause-at-layer function to change to another color for the badge.

The according ingame parts are:

Probodobodyne HECS

Oscar-B Fuel Tank

Heat Shield (0.625m)

TS-06 Stack Separator

I didn't use the actual game parts, they are recreated in Fusion 360 with rough measurements (yes, you can imagine me sitting in front of my screen using a ruler :D).
