If you have no 3D printer, .stl files are viewable in the Mac OS Finder. Just download the file, select it and hit the spacebar: a 3D rendering of the .stl can be rotated.
- shrx 11mo agoWindows 10 also has a built-in viewer for STL files [0]. It appears to be an optional download in Windows 11 though [1].

- 650REDHAIR 11mo agoThis is a really neat tip! Thanks!
- hbcondo714 11mo agoAre there any particular 3D printers recommended for these NASA models?
- pdpi 11mo agoLoaded up the models into my slicer, looks like a pretty straightforward print. Should print on anything "mainstream", I reckon. About 4h worth of printing on my Bambu P1S.
- JKCalhoun 11mo agoAs the other comment suggests, any printer will do. For this particular model, I think a 3D printer with "good resolution" will give the best results. So a resin printer will probably give a smoother finished model than a filament printer.
