Not by 3D printing, but in a much more affordable way: he prints them on paper. The results are great and he has created templates for (almost) all stock parts and a large number of mod parts already. If you haven’t before then be sure to look at his <a href="http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/84621-Paper-Space-Program-%28-a-k-a-KSP-Rocket-Parts-Papercraft%29"><b>FORUM THREAD</b></a>. <br/></p>

I would pay good money (Not $99 or anything crazy like that but, say, $20 or so, or maybe a few bucks a page or whatever is reasonable) for delivery of all the printed pages for a submitted craft.

I remember being super hyped with the paper space program, and in fact I belive this was featured long ago on Fanwork Fridays. The difference here though is that it's much much harder to make the models, and they are made of paper and may not last very long.

It's too hard for me to do myself. Too small parts

Hey look! One of the two people that 3d printed their craft!

That's papercrafted, not 3D printed:

Very nice for being made of paper.

[Pecan]

Has anyone tried printing the templates onto polystyrene sheets - the sort used for modelling - that could then be cut-out with a craft knife?

Really? Damn, I should learn to read. that is pretty amazing though.

I've been looking at some of the plans and wondering how difficult it would be to use thin sheet aluminum. Several dimensions would need changed; it would be a lot of work to adapt the plans, let alone build the whole model... but would probably look great!

I just looked at the facebook page, you used the wrong title for this. I was just assuming "Project Green Hope" was hope for being able to have kerbal spaceship models. It's this video.

You dun goof'd, [Kasper?]

EDIT: I actually would be willing to bet that TheS3lsner(creator of video) got really excited, then wanted to destroy an entire house in rage at all paper models.

[Whirligig Girl]

How has the title not been fixed yet?

You dont need to pay any more than the cost of the printer ink and the paper He has shared all the plans for making these. check it out HERE

Not to bad actually, just takes a lot of patience and a very sharp exacto knife.

Has anyone tried printing the templates onto polystyrene sheets - the sort used for modelling - that could then be cut-out with a craft knife?

I am using an exacto knife on the paper print out I see no reason it would not work on polystyrene if you printer can print on it. (By the way if you have a source website for sheets that can be used in a conventional printer please PM the link )

I hope I stick with this I really want a cool model to share with you all in a couple months

I need to try this...

I should make something simple, like a small station!
