Articulated Space Lab And Landing Gear

Articulated Space Lab And Landing Gear — One file, one print, one very satisfied desk. ### Maker's Note Real talk — every articulated creature I print earns its keep on the desk for at least a week. What sells it for me is the way the sleek creature silhouette still reads at any scale — it doesn't lose its character when you shrink it down for a keychain or scale it up for a mantelpiece piece. Pair it with a contrasting filament colour for the joints if you want the segments to really pop. ### 🔥 Quick Specs | | | |---|---| | Style | Articulated multi-segment | | Assembly | Pop it off the bed, give it a wiggle, done | | Supports | Skip them — the joints depend on no supports | | Layer height | 0.2mm standard. 0.16mm if you want extra-smooth scales/skin | | Infill | 10–15% gyroid — light, strong, springy joints | | Filament | PLA or PETG. PETG makes the joints a touch more durable | | Print time | ~9–13 hours @ 0.2mm (varies with size & speed) | | Size | Comfortable handheld scale at 100% | ### What's in the Download - 3 ready-to-print model files (STL) - Each variant printed and verified before listing - Personal-use license — see license tab for details ### Quick Tips - Scaling up? Bump the wall count to 3 or 4 to keep joint sockets strong - After removal, flex each joint a couple of times before posing — they free up beautifully - Print at 100% scale first — most articulations are tuned to work there Happy printing. Tag the workshop if you make one — I love seeing them in the wild.
