3D model history
The Apollo 11 Command Module Columbia wasn't the spacecraft that made humanity's first footprint—it was the one that made it count. As the crew's home during the eight-day journey, this iconic spaceship performed a silent, crucial vigil in lunar orbit, serving as the critical link between Earth and the Apollo 11 Lunar Module Eagle below. Piloted by astronaut Michael Collins, the Columbia Command Module was the one true constant of the mission—the vessel that brought all three astronauts safely home, a testament to the safe return of a dream.
This Apollo 11 Command Module 3D model is an engineering marvel in its own right, capturing the grace and grit of the legendary NASA spacecraft. With a removable hatch revealing a detailed cockpit and an option for LED lighting, this isn't just a static display. It's a true tribute to the mission's technical ingenuity. The model also includes multiple stand options and commemorative plates, giving this 3D printed spacecraft the perfect platform to be admired solo or as part of a stunning diorama with the attached Apollo 11 Lunar Module Eagle 3D print (sold separately).

Community Support Team To avoid printing issues and achieve the best quality, we highly recommend applying the following settings:
Generic
Below you can find printing recommendations for Cura, Bambu Studio, Simplify3D, Slic3r and PrusaSlicer software.
Disclaimer: The following printing settings are a recommendation, not an obligation. The parameters can vary depending on the peculiarities of your 3D printer, the material you use, and especially the particular assembly part you are working with. Each part that any model comprises often needs preliminary review, and you are free to tweak the settings the way you find suitable.
Note:
You can scale up the model (downscaling for FFF/FDM 3D printers is not recommended!);
All connectors should be printed at 100% Infill.
