The dragon capsule and trunk of the Space X project were loved by many 3D printer users.

Along with this, many 3D printer users have requested to make a Falcon 9 rocket with a dragon capsule up to the orbit. So I made the Falcon 9 rocket at the request of my clients.

This Falcon 9 rocket was intended to be able to connect to the previously created dragon capsule and trunk. So, it is the largest I have ever designed. So, I designed it to be printed in many parts.
In this design project, the landing leg was the biggest problem to be solved, but the piston structure was changed to a folding method because it was impossible to print in a slim shape in desktop 3D printing.
But with these changes
1. This Falcon 9 rocket can fold and unfold its landing legs and stand safely.
2. The wings can also be spread and folded.
The assembly process of this Falcon 9 rocket is as follows.
1. Fold the 4 landing legs first.
2. Connect the pipe (folding structure) that connects the landing legs and the body.
3. Glue the landing legs.
4. Attach the landing leg to the body and connect the folding pipe. When connecting pipes, connect them by pushing them at an angle perpendicular to the body.
5. Connect the landing legs to the body and fold them into the body.
6. Glue the nozzle to the bottom.
7. Attach the bodies in order. It is recommended to use adhesive.
8. Attach the cables to the body in order. We recommend using glue.
9. Put the dragon capsule and the trunk on the top to finish.
See the video for the above process.
※ Dragon capsule and trunk are not included.
Congratulations on the success of Space X, and hope that the era of the commercial space industry opens as soon as possible.
