This is a scaled down (50%) and modified version of the 3D print of the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) issued by NASA. (See Model Origin Link). The model was printed on a Bambu X1C with the following filaments:* Generic PLA Gold Silk* Generic PLA White* Generic PLA BlackPlease note that the Cone takes quite a while to print (about 8 hours) due to the 2 colors. Printing in one color and painting the remainder can shave off quite a bit of time. I have also included a decal sheet for those who want to use it for the Solar Arrays. The program for the decal sheet is Silhouette Studio which is a free program to download and use. The decals were printed on a Canon Color Laser printer using Sunnyscopa Laser Waterslide Decal Paper. Make sure that you spray the decals with a flat clear topcoat once they are dry in order to seal them. Rust-Oleum Clear Durable Topcoat, Dead Flat works very well for this. I have also included the reference photo for reference.
