When I printed most o the pieces I did end up breaking most of the pieces into smaller sections. try to find seam lines where there might be an easy break you can hide or even a slice where it'll be so far inside most people won't see it. I think I had my internal booster broken up into like 3...

The way this was modeled isn't exactly printer friendly. I do not say that as a dig to the modeller. I refer to the amount of 90 portions internally that causes this. It's a beautiful free model and it simply takes time to learn how to set up the large tall prints for success. But this pack...

The lettering for the film suits were offset silver on top of orange with no border.This is the best image I have from a research group on Facebook of the nametags.

I second the tape, I would prefer non reflective as reflective would make photos awful.

Most printers depending on their cooling fan can support angles anywhere from 45 - 60 or 65 degrees, mine start to fail at around 70

Yes that is exactly correct. You can I theory make your own 45 degree angle supports but it involves turning the object in the slicer to do it and then turning it back. Essentially a slicer will only build supports straight up either from the bed or in objects as well. There are tree supports...

Your work as always is amazing.

This is more or less what I'm talking about, if the pieces are small enough ( not tall on the print bed, then nothing wrong with supports. And honestly this is just for ease of printing, but these are things I had to incorporate into models to make them print faster and with less material.

For 3D printing purposes, inside the cannister if there are any 90 degree angles, it would make a piece easier to print if the angle was 45 degrees instead. adding that extra angle instead of a 90 degree cutoff means you don't have to use support material which in the case of the rocket pack...

I imagine this works really well on say large prints with less detail. but the more detail you have the less effective it is as it will just cover it up and soften your corners.

I loved watching the videos on this project. It turned out magnificent. The rifling is a really nice touch.

Yeah, I figured as much when I went to orient it. I'm looking into mars here in the new year, so I'll just focus on the FDM parts I can print for now.

I apologize, I meant the radiator fins , but I will def print the smaller fins that way.

How did you orient the top fins ? I'm struggling to find the best way in S3D

Can't wait, now I don't have to worry about printing that grill part in resin myself lol
