Europa Mekano Shuttle (original design by Simon Stålenhag)

STL files for printing the shuttle based on the original designs by Simon Stålenhag for his upcoming book Europa Mekano.

This model was build using the original source sketchup files kindly provided by Simon, which he used as a reference for his amazing illustration (last image).

Disclaimer: Simon has pointed out that his illustration is still work in progress and might therefore change in the future or (please no) even get scrapped.

I rebuild the model from scratch using his source as a guide, making sure all dimensions, curves and shapes where kept as close to his original design as possible. I then proceeded by adding mechanical details, panel lines, engine access hatches etc. to give it sense of scale and some fun details to paint and show in the build.

This package contains the following files:

FusLeft.stl
FusMiddle.stl
FusRight.stl
Hatch.stl
TopHatch.stl
WheelBackLeft.stl
WheelBackRight.stl
WheelLeft.stl
WheelRight.stl

Scaled to fit my Anycubic Mono build plate in one go. No idea what the actual scale is srry. Please just scale up if needed.
Fuselage is hollowed. All parts are keyed for easy assembly. Parts should fit without much adjustments.

The original illustration shows antennas on both sides. I included the holes for installing these. Some thin metal rods/wires should do the trick.

It is recommended to use a fairly high resolution (minimum of 2k) resin printer. Or scale it up significantly for use on fdm printers but I cant guaranty the results.

Thanks to Simon for kindly sending me his source file and kind words, and for letting me publish these files for your enjoyment.
