SPACESHIP-S4 Update

£0.00

Difficulty

Difficulty - Medium: Contains many parts and requires additional tools, and hardware to assemble (e.g. magnets, bearings, fasteners, dowel pins).

What is this?

This is an update package to transform your SPACESHIP-S4 (SN28) to the new SPACESHIP-S5 (SN29). We’ve added some new parts on this new version – See FAQ below for more details.

If you have already purchased the SPACESHIP-S4, you DO NOT need to purchase the full SPACESHIP-S5 STL files. Instead, you can download the SPACESHIP-S4 Update free of charge. Download link is available via our Morethan3D Discord Server under #free-giveaway channel

If you have NOT already purchased the SPACESHIP-S4, please just purchase the new SPACESHIP-S5 instead

Inspired by past, current, and future Space exploration missions, we designed a 3D printable 1:96 scale spaceship model with a goal of using it to inspire young children to study more about space, science, and other STEM subjects.

Please note: Morethan3D Ltd does NOT have any business relationship or association with Space Exploration Technologies Corp. (referred to as SpaceX). Although our space models may reassemble SpaceX’s hardware designs, our models are designed with visual cues from publicly available material from the internet (e.g. photos, videos), combined with our own imagination and tweaks. Therefore, Morethan3D models are not accurate replicas of SpaceX’s products. Our models are not affiliated, associated, authorised, endorsed by, or in any way officially connected with SpaceX.

Printing & Assembly Instructions

Please consider joining Morethan3D community on our Discord channel to discuss 3D printing hints & tips, ask questions, and get help if you come across any printing issues.

If you want to print this model yourself, your printer need a minimum build volume of 150x150x145mm

In-depth guide for printing and assembling this model: “How to Print & Assemble The SPACESHIP-S4”. (The SPACESHIP-S4 and S5 are almost identical so you can use the same instructions from the S4 version)

The STL package of this model also includes an “All-In-One” Print Profile created for Bambu Lab X1 and P1 Series 3D printers. If you intend to use any of those printers to print the model, follow this instruction to print all parts: How to use Bambu Studio’s All-In-One Print Profile

Technical specifications

Scale: 1:96
Overall dimensions:

  • Ring Diameter: 93.75mm
  • Height (top of Nose Cone to bottom of Skirt Section): 522.8mm

How was this model designed?

This model was designed using publicly available material from the internet including CAD models, videos and pictures

What are the differences between SPACESHIP-S5 and SPACESHIP-S4?

Exterior:
SPACESHIP-S5 is designed based on SN29 prototype whereas SPACESHIP-S4 was based on SN28. Therefore, the Nose Cone is slightly different on each version of the ship

Heat Shield Tiles:
SPACESHIP-S5 has two missing tiles near the bottom part of the ship (the Skirt section). This represents the missing tiles on the SN29

Upper Flaps:
SPACESHIP-S5 comes with an additional version of the forward flap to represent its damaged stage during re-entry.

Frequent questions

  • Does the model come fully assembled or as a kit?

    The model comes as a pre-assembled kit, all magnets are pre-fitted so it’s really easy to assemble.

  • Does the model come in a cardboard box?

    Yes, the model is well packed. It comes in a box filled with foam and bubble wrap.

  • Do you have the BOOSTER for the SPACESHIP-S5 model?

    Yes, please check out the BOOSTER-S4 .

  • Do the STL also include STL of the rocket engine R4PTCR-M1?

    No, it has a much simplified version of the R4PTCR-M1 , so not as detailed.

  • Does the model have any interior?

    Yes, it has full interior including the LOX, CH4 tanks, header tanks and all plumbing.

  • What is the minimum build volume that I need to print this model?

    Your printer need a minimum build volume of 150x150x145mm

  • Is the SPACESHIP-S5 model compatible with the OLIT-S1/S2 model?

    Yes, it is (since they are both at the same scale 1:96).

  • Does the STL also include STL of the Heatshield Tiles and Launch Pad?

    Yes, Heatshield Tiles and Launch Pad are both included in the STL. You don’t have to purchase them separately
