Saturn V Rocket, Mobile Launcher, LUT Tower with LED and Crawler (1:157 scale)

**********UPDATE 8/19/25*****************

I just added the Power Bank files below. I forgot to upload them the first time. Sorry. If you already downloaded the files, just get the files in the Power Bank folder.

I also forgot to upload the crane files. They are now located in the "Tower" folder. Sorry.

My Upgraded and Additional Parts

I had trouble with some of his tower parts, so I redesigned them and upgraded some of them. I've uploaded those parts to Printables as “Saturn V LUT Upgrade Parts”. I would highly recommend using my parts for the tower. It will make the build much easier and less frustrating. Any parts not in my upload for the tower uses his parts. Download his files and compare the folders. 

My Tower Files:
tower level 4.stl
tower level 5+.stl
tower level 14.stl (If also using the Stabilizer Arm addition in my files)
beams.stl (Don't try to print one at a time. It doesn't cool fast enough and starts to sag.)
beamsx30.stl (This has 30 beams to print at once. Do this twice for the 60 beams needed for the 15 levels.)
links.stl
linksx60.stl (This has 60 links. Print this once for all the links needed.)

I also did a detailed directions for the electronics because his were very basic. 

The pictures show my upgrades from my build as well. I already had a Revell 1:144 Saturn V. That is the rocket in the pictures. I had to scale all his pieces to 115%. 

If you also have a Saturn V already, one of my files has the holes for the engine bells at his original size. It's only a few mm thick. You can play with the scale and print it until you find the size that fits your model. That's how I figured out I needed to scale all my parts to 115%.

FernandoF's full pdf directions are in the files below. 

FernandoF says (On Thingiverse):

"Just for clarification, please read:
If your 3D printer allows it (big enough), the rocket can be printed 100% (no scale), which would result in a 1 meter model. But if your printer does not allow to print at 100% I suggest to reduce to 70% so Saturn V has a total height of 70 cm with respect to the original rocket, an approximate scale of 1:157. Please note that Crawler and tower fit the 70cm rocket (30% reduction of the Saturn V original size), so if you print a 1 meter rocket, you should scale up those parts to 130% and it should work. Please test on your slicer first. I explain this a little more in the instructions….Attention: Print every single SATURN V ROCKET part scaled by 30%, that means parts should be 70% instead of 100% on Cura Slicer (or your favourite slicer). There are some exceptions: command_module_magnet.stl, Escape_Tower_magnet.stl, LEM_adapter_base.stl, LEM_adapter_panels.stl are already scaled, why? Because I designed them by my own considering the actual size of the rocket to fit on the rest of the model parts.
Files marked as optional should only be used if you want to print the Saturn V model full size (100%). If this is your case, It should work if you scale up to 130% the remaining parts to fit them together, but I wasn't able to test it."

Saturn V rocket, Mobile Launcher, LUT Tower and Crawler

Welcome to a new and different design of the amazing NASA's Saturn V, platform, tower and other related stuff “Made in Spain”. It took me more than three months of design and tests but at the end it looks great and it was worth it.
I have been and still I am a passionate about Astronomy and Space Science in general. Unless your are a complete fan of this rocket and its history, you do not know what you are missing if you do not have a look closer and dig into it. I assure you will be shocked just knowing a few figures.

Apart of the rocket itself that I took the different parts from here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:906896 the rest are based (just based) on the original, is not a replica. My original intention was to think, design and create a base stand for this rocket, first I tried to make something really simple to allow the rocket stand on its own, but it is so awesome when you look at it that just a simple base is not what it deserves. And little by little I (was) thinking of new parts, a launch base, the great tower and a Crawler like vehicle.
Not satisfied with that yet, I thougth that such a big construction needed spot lights to shine on the rocket and why not, if I want, see the rocket lifting off. The result is a Saturn V rocket 70 cm high or nearly 1 meter when it takes off from the launch pad.
What an ambitious project!, but this is it, and I hope you enjoy it printing and building as much as me.
