Description
This scale model of SpaceX's SN8 prototype was a one day design/print meant to test the 3D design/3D printing pipeline on Linux Mint. It is set to the same scale as the 150% scaled Starhopper we printed out by Thingiverse user AstroNot (in the 3rd picture they are together for comparison).
I used friction welding for assembling the parts. Because it was a quick design/print I didn't include tabs or marks to line things up. Try using a spot of hot glue to get things in place before welding.
A SketchUp 2017 file is included. You can open it on SketchUp Free in your browser through SketchUp's official website. This is how I used SketchUp on Linux.
