Description
Inspired by trackster986, I separated the stand of the Mercury Capsule so that it can be printed easier, faster and with less purge.
The printing time and purge can be greatly reduced. From originally around 20h printing time and 190g filament waste for the stand with a two color earth to now around 9.5h for the earth (4 color), 3.7 h for the stand (2 color) and 10 min for the 7.
The waste is reduced to 15g for the stand and about 90g for the earth.
All data are based on 0.16mm layer height.
The 4mm mounting pin for the Earth have zero tolerance, so that it can be mounted without gluing and you can rotate it at will. If they do not fit just scale down a bit.
For the 7 you can just take two short (3-4 mm) pieces of filament and mount it to the stand, if it is too loose just glue it.
