Nasa 747 Shuttle Carrier Aircraft
Description
This is a model of one of NASA's two SCAs(shuttle carrier aircraft). It is a remix of this model. https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/model/4cf0677f5a984293c1ccec171a275967/Boeing-747-100-NASA-Shuttle-Carrier-Aircraft-SCA?hl=en I downloaded above model and spent a considerable amount of time teaching myself, mostly with trial and error, how to convert the .dae file into a single mesh that I could use. Once I did that, I was cut the model into multiple parts( and a few different variants/combinations of parts. The mesh isn't the highest detail of mesh, but it is good enough for me to have displayed carrying a STS orbiter beside a model of the AN-225 carrying a Buran orbiter. I hope it is good enough for some others to find it useful. The model is scale to 1 /295(an odd scale, I know) at that scale, not all the parts are printable with FDM, at least not in an orientation that would allow a decent print quality finish, even with a 0.2 nozzle. I had to get those parts resin printed. Those parts would be the wings, the horizontal stabilizers, and probably the turbofan blades. If scaled up to 1/200, cura says the wings and horizontal stabilizers are still right on the edge of doable with fdm. The parts list is as follows: 1, AFT Fuselage with tail( this is the entire rear half of the fuselage, and includes the verical tail plane. If you use this variant of the tail, you will need to also print both of the horizontal stabilizers, of which there is two variants, the Horiz Stabilizer files, or the Horiz Stabilizer no Vert Stabe files, in either variant, one LH version and one RH version); 2 Aft Fuselage( only use this if you use either tail variant "tail No Stabilizers" or Complete Tail assembly); 3, Blades no support small(the turbofan blades without integrated support, you will likely need to trim the shaft on the back of the turbofan blades to allow the blades to slide in far enough); 4, Blades Support Small(the turbofan blades with integrated support, you will likely need to trim the shaft on the back of the turbofan blades to allow the blades to slide in far enough); 5, Complete Aft Fuselage Assembly(as its name states, it includes everything aft of the FWD Fuselage piece, if you use this part, you will need only the FWD Fuselage file, the two wing files, the four engine files, and four of your choice of turbofan blade variant); 6, Complete Tail Assembly(same as Complete Aft Fuselage Assembly, except without the Aft Fuselage section included, so if you use this tail variant, you will also need to print the AFT Fuselage file); 7-10, Engines 1-4(numbered left to right when looking forward); 11 FWD Fuselage( there are no other variants of this file, you will need one of these regardless); 12+16 LH and RH Horiz Stabilizer No Vert Stabe( the LH and RH variants of the horizontal stabilizer without the small vertical stabilizers on the tips. you will need these(or the Horiz Stabilizer files) if you use the either the tail variant Aft Fuselage With Tail, or Tail no Stabilizers); 13+17 LH and RH Horiz Stabilizer(same as Horiz Stabilizer no Vert Stabe, but with the small vertical stabilizers on the tip included); 14+18, LH and RH Vert Stabilizer( you only need these if you are going to use the horizontal stabilizer variant "Horiz Stabilizer No Vert Stabe"); 15+19 LH and RH Wing(the LH and RH wing files, there are no other variants of these, you will need one of each); 20, SCA Complete(a complete model, should you want it for whatever reason); 21, Tail No Stabilizers(this is the variant of the tail that is split in the most pieces. If you use this file, you will need the following: Aft Fuselage, and one of the two horizontal stabilizer variants, in addition to the FWD Fuselage, and wing and engine components that all tail variants include.
