Explore new frontiers with the Rover24 Project, a free 3D print file set that brings the excitement of space exploration into your hands. Inspired by real-world planetary rovers, this space-themed design is perfect for STEM projects, sci-fi enthusiasts, and anyone who wants to add a futuristic touch to their RC collection.
The Rover24 features a clean, modular body with a flat upper deck designed for mounting solar panels, echoing the look of NASA’s Mars rovers. Printed in multiple pieces, the design ensures maximum quality, simple assembly, and the ability to mix colors for a custom look. Once built, it makes a fun platform for creative experiments, classroom demonstrations, or just cruising around with a rover that looks like it belongs on another planet.
