The Apollo 11 Lunar Module (LM) "Eagle" was the first crewed vehicle to land on the Moon. It carried two astronauts, Commander Neil A. Armstrong and LM pilot Edwin E. "Buzz" Aldrin, Jr., the first men to walk on the Moon. Also included on the LM was the Early Apollo Scientific Experiment Package (EASEP), which consisted of several self-contained experiments to be deployed and left on the lunar surface, and other scientific and sample collection apparatus.
I've wanted a 3d printable LM for some time. I got started modeling this about 3 months ago in Fusion 360. I had to make some parts thicker than they are in real life to make them printable. I think it will scale up but I would be very careful scaling down.
Haven't had very much time with work, and I missed the anniversary. But here she is...
I've printed two astronauts from Hackbert's "Apollo Astronaut Repaired" at 25% to go with the LM. It can be found here:

The parts are positioned in what I found to be the best for printing. With the exception of the Lander, Ascent-03, Ascent-04, and the pegs, all other parts require a raft and supports for best results. I've printed the model successfully at 0.2 and 0.1 mm on my Prusa MK3. The filament is Hatchbox Copper.
For the struts and strut-ladder, position supports beneath the beginning and ends of the ladder as well as bottom of the strut with some additional support where angles may be a bit to flat. You don't need supports everywhere on the struts.
I use gel super glue to put everything together.
Peg-05 serves goes beneath the mesa and the lander. You may have to play with its scale to fit depending on your printer. All other parts should easily fit together.
