A follow-up to the right handed Apollo glove, this one you can actually wear. If you have larger hands or larger forearms, be sure to download the profile that says “hole added”. This was done so you can easily wear this if you have bigger hands.

This is part of a traveling collection that I have where I give lectures to the community on space history and the future of space travel. These participants get to see and hold real items that have flown in space, and now with something like this, they can handle a really cool replica from the Apollo era.

This file originated from the Smithsonian Museum utilizing some awesome tech to make this available. With this remix, there are a few profiles I have added here. The main file has a hard cut between the hand portion and the arm portion. This was done in an effort to have a seamless color change so when put together it appears that it was printed as one piece. There is also a file that has a better color match, but when joining the two pieces together you may end up with a seam. These two profiles are colored and meant to not have to do any post processing unless you want to weather it.

I really like the one I did painted in BS because when other people handle it, especially at events, it is so cool to say the whole thing is 3D printed. However, printing it in one color saves a ton of time, and filament, plus, you can get some good details by hand painting.

**THERE ARE LOTS OF PROFILES FOR DIFFERENT NEEDS, BUT BASICALLY YOU ONLY NEED TO PRINT TWO PARTS, THE TOP AND BOTTOM PORTION**

BREAKDOWN OF THE DIFFERENT PROFILES:

• With white accent top glove 0.16mm- This profile has the white added to where the velcro would be. This does add a good amount of time, but looks great if you do not want to hand paint.
• With Hole for better fit - I have added a hole to make the white portion of the glove fit better for those of us with larger hands and or larger foreamrs.
• No hole, tight fit- This has no hole added to the bottom white portion, but it will be a tighter fit.
• Top glove not painted- The top portion is a single color. This will greatly reduce your print time, but you will need to hand paint it.
• Full Scale: Full scale for larger sized printers, not painted. Added as STL, just need to select download STL to view it.

The other profiles are either 0.16 or 0.2 profiles of the same thing. There are also profiles for the A1 mini.

Here are the filaments I have used after testing out a few different ones, these yielded the best results for me (affil. links) :

• eSUN Upgraded Matte PLA Filament
• Metallic Silver Matte
• OVERTURE PLA Matte Light Blue

Neil Armstrong’s Apollo 11 spacesuit was digitized using state-of-the-art techniques in 3D scanning, photogrammetry, chemical analysis, and CT scanning. The museum partnered with the Smithsonian Digitization Program Office (DPO) to scan and perform high resolution photogrammetry of the spacesuit. We began in April 2016, with 3D scanning Armstrong's extra-vehicular activity (EVA) gloves.
