Just finished re-modeling and printing a 4x upscale of the Mars Lander. Over a week's worth of printing. About 16" diameter, and over 4 feet tall. I had to re-revolve the entire ascent stage to ensure it could handle the stress. I also had to redo the descent stage to match the thickness changes in the ascent stage. Completely removed the rod port. Attached in the zipfile are the fusion 360 files for the ascent and descent stage in case anyone wants to make more modifications. This isn't the version I printed, as I integrated two AV bay's; one specific to the featherweight GPS tracker, and the other specific to an altimeter of my own design. I Still need to do a lot of sanding, and some laminating for reinforcement. I'll re-export everything as STL's and upload to Thingiverse sometime next week.
I ordered decals from stickershock, and they should be in this week. I plan on flying this at mini midwest power at the end of the month. Depending on the final weight, it will likely go up on a CTI 98mm M520, which has a great 13-second burn. Below is the 4x, with the 2x to the right of it, and surrounded by 3 regular mars landers
The photo's really don't the size of this thing justice. For perspective, the diameter of the 4x landing gear pads is about the same as the the body diameter of the regular mars lander.
