An intrepid space probe on its seven-year mission to return a sample of [the asteroid Bennu](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/101955_Bennu). This is the [OSIRIS-Rex spacecraft](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OSIRIS-REx). The exciting days are in progress now, so you'd best print out a copy of this model to follow-along as the mission is thrilling space fans across the globe.
This is an original from-scratch design, modelling the spacecraft in such a way to make it 3D-printable. As space probes have many things jutting out at all angles, designing and printing them is difficult. My rule-of-thumb is they should fit in one's hand, so getting feature sizes to work in a small model can be difficult. So there is a certain amount of artistic-license employed. While it is not precisely to scale, it faithfully represents the proportions most prominent instruments across the craft, and looks good on your desk while doing it.
I hope you will agree that the result is a good trade-off between a
