This is a 3D Model of the Minuteman III Missile currently used by the US Air Force. It was designed by 3DICBM.
The Model is assembled ~18" tall. I can print it in other sizes as well if requested.
The model is designed to snap together and come apart to show missile operations. There are 26 individual parts to it.
Parts are printed in PLA+
The stage body pieces have a funnel shape on one end, this is printed against the build surface and the top (or bottom in the case of the 3rd stage) fit in like a cork in a bottle - and are glued in place - place the glue on the inside edge towards the top of the funnel. Keep the settings the same for all stage bodies, as it will affect how the interstages fit.
There is a PBCS "jig" stl file, this makes it easier to assemble the PBCS. You will notice that there is an indentation in the shell and one part is bigger, this is the bottom. Put the shell over the jig with the bigger portion on bottom. Put the MGS top portion into the shell, it should fit snugly in place. Then put glue on the back of the MGS piece and PBCS shell and then put the PSRE middle piece in place.
