GOODesign is a design studio established in Seoul, Korea by a representative who has been active in product design and 3D CG field for 20 years. As a design company that pursues a reasonable and differentiated digital design, it has always presented a new direction through working with clients such as Hyundai Motor, Siemens Korea and beiersdorf. This time, we have put out the life product for 3D printing by utilizing various technique design based on the shape of the Class-A surface. These products are especially the result of deep research on the 3D printing dominant shape that can not be mass-produced using a mold.

+ more- less

I've finally completed the Saturn V rocket that spacecraft/rocket fans have been constantly asking me to build.
Features of this design include:
1. The process of launching this rocket, landing on the moon, and returning to Earth was all reproduced as desired.
2. Efficient color segmentation tried to color the prototype Saturn V well.
3. I tried to express all the details based on various materials.

This design, like the other rockets I've designed, is large and has a lot of parts, so it will take a long time to complete a print.
There are a few things to note about this process.
1. Depending on the separation phase of your rocket, there are things you can and shouldn't use glue for. Please check this carefully.
2. The characters are slightly skewed for better printing. Please check the direction of this tilt carefully and put it in advance before bonding.
3. Fold the escape tower well and insert it well into the hole at the bottom of the launch escape system and insert it well into the hole at the top of the boost protective cover. And use adhesive to fix it, so you have to be careful to fit it vertically.
4. The lunar lander's landing gear fits well by turning and twisting it like the pistons of the heavy equipment I designed. These landing gears have a slight indentation where the U-shaped structure fits, care must be taken not to break this part.
5. Alphabets are written from A to D on the booster stabilizer fin of the first stage rocket. Please check this order and the position where they fit.

Please check out the video for more details.

As always, we hope for a lot of support from fans in the aerospace field.

Hi there, this model is amazing and printed fantastic! However, the Lunar adapter modules (Four pieces along the top shrouding the lunar module) fit perhaps too well and don't friction-fit at all. They just sit along the top, they don't snap down or anything. I'm using a Prusa MK4. Any advice?

I would also like to request the stabilizing fins without the letters. If they are needed, maybe a small letter on an edge that is hidden when glued?

Thanks!

Edit: looks like I was really wrong! Pictures of the fins of the spacecraft showed letters on the surfaces... Please retract my request! (and I'll do my research first next time...)

Me too! Should have looked closer at the pictures. I respectfully remove my request. Hey, can you change the font of them though? LOL.

Having issues with "Fab365_Saturn_V_Third_Stage_Assembly_Mid_Black.stl", I've tried redownloading the file and have the same issue with Prusaslicer and BambuStudio.

Please advise.

Ended up loading the file into Tinkercad, saved it, and downloaded it before slicing.

Got rid of the slicing problem.

Is there a reason for Letters A, B, C & D on the stabilizers? Can you please put a clean stl of the fist stage stabilizers? Thank you very much.

Could you please edit stage 3 and delete the text "USA". That wasn't there. Thank you :)

I would really like to purchase this, but there is an error in the design. There should not be a USA on the top of the rocket, the Saturn V only had them at the bottom. Are there any plans to change this, or will it stay as is? I am aware I could print our USA in white and plug it in at the top, but it would still stand out and be noticeable.

I can't get any of the 'S'es to fit. The 'U's and 'A's all fit OK. Is there a trick to getting them to fit and/or slicing them so they fit easier?

I printed out 8 instances of 'Fab365_Saturn_V_Text_USA_Red_X4stl.stl' in the 3rd stage folder. As far as I could tell this is identical to the individual letters included in the 1st and 3rd stage folders.

Everything printed (Kobra Max) just fine using recommended Cura settings. Had a nozzle clog that ruined a print but not STL file issue. Hand painted American flags (please don't count stars), UNITED STATES text, and fin lettering. Happy with model.

Beautiful design and excellent work, thanks! I have two points:
1) Would it be possible to share the assembled model? Ideally STEP / IGES, but STL is also fine. Individual parts in STL are difficult to work with and i would like to have a 3D assembled model of my printed model.
2) One technical detail. Second and third stage on real Saturn V have same J-2 engines (second stage have five pcs and third have one). In your model, engines on second stage have plus minus correct scale, but on third stage is engine twice as large. Perhaps the intention was that third stage could stand vertically and not fall, but it is not real. Even the LEGO's Saturn V followed real model and have same engines on second and third stage.

DON'T PRINT Fab365_Saturn_V_Third_Stage_Assembly_Bottom_White.stl, NOT match with black ring .
The STL Second_Stage_Assembly_Top_Black is wrong!

I want back my money!

Has anyone figured this out? Im having the same problem.

Bonjour,

Je n'ai pas finis d'imprimer tout les fichiers mais j'ai regardé le problème d'assemblage que vous pensez avoir.
J'ai visualisé dans cura les pièeces à assembler et à mon avis il ne doit pas y avoir de problèmes.
Il y a bien l'empreinte des 3 encoches d'assemblage sur les deux pièces.
Je met une image de l'assemblage ci-dessous.
En espèrant avoir résolu votre problème.

Try re-downloading the files.

The STL version I have of the Second_Stage_Assembly_Top_Black only has three tabs, like the image posted by stevenslille4217. It lines up perfectly with the slots on the bottom of Third_Stage_Assembly_Bottom_White.
