FDM Print Recommendations
Layer Height: 0.12–0.20 mm
Nozzle: 0.4 mm recommended
Infill: 10–15%
Supports: Recommended beneath the landing platform, spacecraft, antennas, solar panels, connecting tunnels, overhangs, and elevated structures.
Material: PLA recommended.
Orientation: Print upright for the best surface detail.
Tips: Slower print speeds will preserve the fine panel lines, antennas, industrial textures, dome framing, and terrain details.
🧪 Resin Print Recommendations
Layer Height: 0.03–0.05 mm
Supports: Light to medium supports recommended beneath the spacecraft, solar panels, antennas, platforms, tunnels, and decorative overhangs.
Orientation: Tilt approximately 30–45° for optimal detail.
Resin Type: Standard or ABS-like resin.
Post-Processing: Wash thoroughly and fully cure after printing.
Tips: Hollow larger sections where appropriate and add drainage holes to reduce resin consumption and improve curing.
