Not test printed: this mini has not been test printed yet. It is checked in software only and the picture is a render.
A small flat backed mini of the first artificial satellite that prints in one piece. It is a display model and an original design, not a replica of any museum piece, with no insignia, emblems or lettering from the original.
What it is
A 34 mm half sphere with a raised join ring across it, and four antennas lying flat on the bed, swept back in two pairs. It is about 1:17 for the sphere (the antennas are shortened) and roughly 93 x 114 x 18 mm. It sits flat on a shelf or desk.
Printing
One STL, already in its print orientation. No supports, no AMS.
PLA, 0.2 mm layers, 3 walls, 15% infill. About 9 g and 0.6 hours (estimate, not slicer output).
The antennas are thin, so a brim or a slower first layer helps. A silk silver filament suits it.
Want the big one?
The full First Satellite Desk Model (Sputnik style) has a 64 mm sphere in two halves, four separate antennas in angled sockets (or 1.75 mm filament rods), an optional cutaway half with a simplified interior, and a round stand with a leaning rod and an embossed roundel. It is EUR 2.99 on Cults3D: https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/various/first-satellite-desk-model-sputnik-style

If you print one, I'd love to see it. Post a make with a photo, good or bad, and it helps me improve the next version.

Grams and hours are my estimates, and your printer may differ by 20% or more.
Happy to tweak the design on request.
