Unsatisfied with the existing options out there, I decided to design my own variant of the legendary Saturn V rocket. It roughly matches the dimensions of the vehicle at 1:200 scale, but includes several tweaks to make it printable on a Prusa Mk3 (or any FDM with similar build volume) with (nearly) no supports. It includes cutouts for attaching magnets to connect the stages together, and two internal holes to reinforce fragile parts.
Print each part in the default (vertical) orientation, with support enabled “on build plate only” with overhang threshold set to 40 or lower. This should result in support generated only for parts 2-5 for their bottom magnet cutouts. Ensure that your slicer does not add support material inside the narrow tubes on parts 3 and 5 as it will be impossible to remove.
To utilize magnetic attachment, you'll need super glue and the following magnets:
- 8x 12x6x3mm
- 4x 12x3mm round
- 2x 15x2mm round
In addition, you can optionally add a 3x35mm rod to reinforce the Stage 3 engine (part 3), and a 2x100mm rod to reinforce the Launch Escape System (part 5).
