Building and Explaining a 3D Printed Model of the ISS
53An instructional guide to building a 3D printed model of the International Space Station, as well as a review of the functionality and history of each element of the station.
This is my first time making an instructional video of this type, so let me know if there's anything you would like to see improved in future videos like this. Also if you catch any errors or things that could be explained better, let me know in the comments!
