About the work: Made entirely of 3D printed material, this model of the solar system, or orrery, showcases Psyche’s general position relative to all other planets in our solar system. As demonstrated by this model, the Psyche asteroid orbits the Sun between Mars and Jupiter within the asteroid belt. Also included is a model of the Psyche space craft and its solar panels. The Psyche logo, asteroid and space craft were all painted with acrylic paint after being 3D printed.
