really awesome model! lunar lander is really cool!

can you provide instructions, because there are some parts that I don't know were they go.

It would be nice if you could provide the model in some version you could use in Prusa Slicer. I would guess there is a lot of us here that only use Prusa Slicer.... Model looks great tho.

@PrusaFanatic there is a remix that has a STL and 3MF of the parts and it is easily sliceable

For those having issues, download IdeaMaker and open the files therein, apply Repair if you get any warnings in the stats box (error orientation or non-manifold edges.) Then export as STL. This seemed to work for me, though I only tried it on one model (s-v-1-0.obj)

In Blender, there seems to be some interior conflicts with internal/external faces, just from the geometry used in construction. For instance, the cones above the main engines are hollow inside rather than solid and closed off at the bottom, which is going to increase print time as it produces walls in there that aren't needed.

I love the detail of the model, it just needs a little tweaking to not confuse the slicers

I have also tried to open the files. With Ultimaker Cura there are no problems, with BambuLab Studio some files can be opened, others not. So if you slice with Cura, you should have no problems. (edited)

Prusaslicer refuses to open, as mentioned before. Maybe try exporting from your modeller as STLs and reposting the files?

I was looking forward to printing this too!

These files won't open with Prusaslicer. Maybe I'm doing something wrong but I've never encountered an error trying to open anything on Prusaslicer.

@LouisI_364184 I have downloaded it twice thinking maybe something happened during the download. It tells me "Prusaslicer has encountered an error". I didn't try all the files but I did try them at random.

@Ocho_149993 Don't know what to tell you. I stopped using my manufacturer's (Dremel's) slicer when I came up against the same problem. Haven't had that problem with Ultimaker Cura since (and it supports other printers and has a great interface). Try it out.
