Not test printed: I have not test printed this one yet. It is checked in software only and the picture is a render.

Full model: Lunar Rover Desk Model (Apollo era style) on Cults3D, EUR 3.49: https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/various/lunar-rover-desk-model-apollo-era-style

A small Apollo era style moon buggy for your desk: a chassis with seats and a console, a dish and an umbrella antenna on masts, and four wheels standing in their tyre tracks on a little moon base with my roundel badge. It prints in one piece, upright, with no supports, because the wheels sit in 45 degree dust drifts and the dish and umbrella have cone shaped undersides. It is a display model and a generic design, not a replica of any real vehicle, with no logos, flags or trademarks.

Want the full rover? The Lunar Rover Desk Model is bigger (about 1:48), with wheels that really turn on 1.75 mm filament or printed axles, a dish and an umbrella antenna that swivel, seats, a console and a moon surface base with footprints and tyre tracks. It is the same scale as my Lunar Lander Desk Model, so the two display together. It is on Cults3D for EUR 3.49: https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/various/lunar-rover-desk-model-apollo-era-style

Print settings

- PLA, 0.4 mm nozzle, 0.2 mm layers, 2 or 3 walls, 15% infill, no supports

• About 17 g and 1.1 hours (estimates, not slicer output)

• Size 72 x 50 x 28 mm. The masts are about 2 mm thick, so print slowly

Honest notes

- Not test printed yet. Checked in software only (watertight, one body, flat on the bed, no supports needed). The picture is a render.

• The masts and antennas are small and delicate, so handle them gently.

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.

Happy to tweak the design on request.
