Stewart Platforms are used in flight simulators, CNC machine equipment, robotic surgeons, and connect the ISS to the space shuttles.

I call this model "rotary" because it uses a rotary action to move each "arm". a linear platform would use linear actuators.

I designed this so that university students can stop reinventing the wheel when they need a platform - get one of these, contribute to the open souce design, and help make life easier for everybody.

An homage to the SpaceX Dragon Capsule that recently docked with the ISS.

1:100 scale model of the International Space Station. 3D models were created using AutoDesk Inventor using sizes in Inches and exported to .stl files. Models came from the NASA website at
nasa.gov/mission_pages/station/multimedia/scalemodel/index.html

I have created these files in anticipation of making them with my recently ordered MakerBot Replicator. This will be my first attempt at 3D printing and would appreciate if anyone does attempt them, to post some feedback. I will update once my bot arrives and I have a chance to test it out.

Update: May 4, 2012 - Our MakerBot Replicator 8563 came yesterday. After a few test prints, I modified module ISS_04 to have filleted corners and a shelled interior. After opening in ReplicatorG, I changed the scale with the Inches->mm tool. Then, I printed it out today using full support structures at 75% object infill and all default Replicator settings.

Update: May 7, 2012 - Printed new ISS_02 file that has been filleted and shelled using same modifications - changing scale to inches>>mm and 75% object infill.

Update: May 14, 2012 - Had better success with original files keeping them solid but exporting to STL as millimeters and printing with 5 shells and 10% object infill, full support where necessary. I will upload new files shortly.

I played arround with Thomthom’s “Bitmap To Mesh” plugin (http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=31339&start=0) and convertet Widi's (http://widicam.net) image of the ISS into a earring. It's just a blob, but still interesting...
The plugin does work rather good on my anaglyph image material (using depth maps).

Still not sure how to paint this one...
