Tiangong-1 Space Station #3DThursday #3DPrinting
Cool project build shared by gpvillamil on Thingiverse:
Simple model of the Chinese Tiangong-1 Space Station. Glue the sections of the service and science module together. Use the 15mm pin to attach the solar panels and to mate with the matching Shenzhou space capsule.
This was originally published on the Autodesk 123D site, but that is gone now, so here it is. I’ve made multiple changes to improve printability and tesselation.
Refer to these instructions for assembly, in particular the bit about aligning the Shenzhou orbital module with the solar panels on Tiangong.

Every Thursday is #3dthursday here at Adafruit! The DIY 3D printing community has passion and dedication for making solid objects from digital models. Recently, we have noticed electronics projects integrated with 3D printed enclosures, brackets, and sculptures, so each Thursday we celebrate and highlight these bold pioneers!
Have you considered building a 3D project around an Arduino or other microcontroller? How about printing a bracket to mount your Raspberry Pi to the back of your HD monitor? And don’t forget the countless LED projects that are possible when you are modeling your projects in 3D!
The Adafruit Learning System has dozens of great tools to get you well on your way to creating incredible works of engineering, interactive art, and design with your 3D printer! If you’ve made a cool project that combines 3D printing and electronics, be sure to let us know, and we’ll feature it here!
