Euclid 3d model to build at home

Build your own Euclid satellite model! You can now download and print a complete set of parts from STL files, with a detailed instruction manual for assembly (English and French available).

The Euclid France communications officers have ordered a realistic model of the Euclid satellite that can be printed using common 3D printers available in FabLabs, Maker Spaces, or other other locations. This work was produced by SCALAE, a small company based in Grenoble, France. All the printable parts, along with a construction guide, are in the ZIP file.

With the default scaling, the 3d model can be printed on any 3d-printer with at least at 200×200×200mm build volume.
The default scale is 1:16, 29.5×19.5×19cm for the model, 33×20×20cm including the stand. For printers with 256×256×256mm build volume the model size could be increased by 25%, resulting in a 1:13 model.

One of the 13 print plates opened in Bambu Studio. Astronaut for scale (no actual astronauts were involved in the creation or deployment of Euclid). All 39 parts are also available as individual .stl files.
