This model is a quick-print Dragon Lander and Fairing that fits my Falcon 9 model.
The body attaches to the base with a dovetail link (all credit for the dovetail link idea
goes to Angus of Makers Muse on YouTube, and to the person who gave him the idea
to share. Thanks!)
The legs simply press into the holes.
For a fast but flimsy fairing print, Fairing_Solid can be used by disabling solid infill top/bottom and using spiral mode.

This was part of my Falcon Heavy model for sale on CG Trader (for a really good price ;-)
But I upgraded that one to have working hatches and internals, so the old Dragon Lander got an upgrade and became free here.

Enjoy!

Notes:

For a fast but flimsy fairing print, Fairing_Solid can be used by disabling solid infill top/bottom and using spiral mode. I did this in Cura.

Post-Printing

It should slot together without hassle.
By reducing the height of the Dovetail very slightly, the tightness can be adjusted.
I tried to make it as easy to assemble as possible.

How I Designed This

This was modeled in 3ds max by finding videos and images online.
It is not 100% accurate because all the images online differ, so this is
my best approximation for the time I had.

YouTube, and to the person who gave him the idea to share. Thanks!
