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 a 3D printed 1:96 scale spaceship model designed loosely based on Prototype Ship S34!
We currently don’t offer sales of the physical 3D printed models of this item, the cost on our website is for STL files only!

If you have already purchased the SPACESHIP-S7, you DO NOT need to purchase the full SPACESHIP-S8 STL files. Instead, you can download the SPACESHIP-S7 Update free of charge. Download link is available via our Morethan3D Discord Server under #free-giveaway channel

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 resemble 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-S7”. (As the SPACESHIP-S8 and S7 are almost identical, you can use the same guide for the S8 model)

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

With our recommended printing profile, this model will require at least:
PLA Silver: 650g
PLA Black: 252g
PLA Green: 3g

Technical specifications

Scale: 1:96
Overall dimensions:

  • Ring Diameter: 93.75mm
  • Height (top of Nose Cone to bottom of Skirt Section): 542mm

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-S8 and SPACESHIP-S7?

Exterior: SPACESHIP-S8 is designed based on SN34 prototype whereas SPACESHIP-S7 was based on SN33. Hence, there are more vents on the Skirt and Thrust dome section of the S8. Also, there is only one painted zone on one side of the S8 Payload section rather than 2 as seen on the S7

Frequent questions

  • Is there an update package to upgrade my SPACESHIP-S7 to S8 version?

    If you have already purchased the SPACESHIP-S7, you DO NOT need to purchase the full SPACESHIP-S8 STL files. Instead, you can download the SPACESHIP-S7 Update free of charge. Download link is available via our Morethan3D Discord Server under #free-giveaway channel

  • Is the new Heat Shields on the SPACESHIP-S8 compatible with all of the previous Ships?

    Block 2 SPACESHIP: Yes,
    Block 1 SPACESHIP: No, the Heat Shield design on the Block 2 Ship is NOT backward compatible with any of the previous Block 1 Ships.

  • I don't have a 3D printer, can I purchase a physical model instead?

    Unfortunately we currently don’t offer sales of the physical 3D printed models of this item.
    You’ll need to either print the model yourself, or purchase the STL files from us and ask someone else to print it for you.

  • Do you have the BOOSTER-S8 for the SPACESHIP-S8 model?

    Yes, we are currently working on it, please check back later

  • 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-S8 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 MASSEY Test Stand?

    No, the MASSEY Test Stand is a separate model – which you can purchase separately
