This is another Planetary Explorer Module, suitable for holding 3.75 inch / 1:18 scale action figures. This one is inspired by a certain early 70's sci-fi TV series, but it's modular design allows for many more combinations.
The different parts plug in to each other, allowing for many different possible combinations. Does not require any glue, screws or tools to assemble. Many modules from previous ships will also connect to these new ones.
The spaceship pictured is not quite as big as I wanted, but I ran out of filament. And my printer is now clogged. If I remedy both of those things I may post a "finished" version with 2 more Rhombicuboctahedron pods.
Features of this model:
- modular design, can be arranged in many different configurations
- removable tops for easy inside viewing
- removable floor hatch for escape or entry
- hollow pods for storage
- removable landing feet and engine cones
- 4mm diameter holes in exterior for plugging in blaster or antennas, etc.
- sliding doors in cargo bay
- command module accommodates standard seat from other models
- multiple bottom connector holes to accommodate thrusters or eventually wheels
If you need some vintage figures to add to the scene, there are some here: https://www.ebay.com/str/petesactionfigures Or you can print yourself some figures from other designs of mine here on thingiverse such as https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4944977!
The parts use the "pla snap connector e" that I have also posted separately here to thingiverse. You can also design your own modules that plug in to these, if you use the connector, they will connect! Please let me know, I would love to see them if you make some!
For more designs that I haven't gotten a chance to put on here yet, see https://petrusmono.com/pems
I may print a few of these and put them up for sale on ebay - https://www.ebay.com/itm/325172278007
Enjoy!

Printed using 0.3 mm height layer, otherwise it takes forever! Supports required differ depending on the piece.
Assembly
Modules snap into each other with some steady pressure. An adult should be able to do it by hand. May help to print one of the PLA snap connectors (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4944927) and insert and remove a connector 1 time into all the holes, to loosen them up a bit.
The snap connections are not meant to be permanent, they can be connected and disconnected over and over again. Over time the connections will be less tight, at some point may want to spray with something to tighten them up again.How I Designed This
Used Tinkercad, because I STILL have not learned a more advanced program yet! The shame!
