High-Level Project Summary
Our project is a proposal of possible things that we will need on Mars during a one-year mission. We have created 3D models, including things we are familiar with, as well as new ones, or a combination of several.

Detailed Project Description
Hello everyone, we are the Millennium Falcon team. We are all from the planet Corellia, and our main job is creating the death star. We are the crew of the Millennium Falcon ship, and since we landed on Mars due to a lack of hyperfuel, now we have to think about how to survive here. Fortunately, there is food, water and oxygen, and 3D printers with which we can print most of the things we need. So, now we will tell you exactly what and on which printer we will print, as well as show 3D models of these things.
So, the first item is a spoon-fork. We will print it on a printer capable of creating small metal items. One half of this object is a spoon, the other half is a fork. By the way, you can not only eat with a spoon, but also use it as a shovel.
The second object is a screwdriver. This is a necessary tool if we are going to fix the rover, which by default does not have a wheel. We will make the handle plastic and so that it can be removed, so it turns into a universal one, and we save on materials.
A hammer is another necessary tool. With it, everything is the same as with a screwdriver. The back part is pointed - that is, it is not just a hammer, but a combination of a hammer and an ax.
The fourth is a knife that can be used both for food and for household needs. The sharp part is metal, the handle is the same. This knife can also be used as a saw, and sharpened on a concrete table, which will be discussed later.
The fifth object is a bed that has a table and also shelves. We will do this with the help of a concrete printer, because we do not have much metal, and plastic will not withstand it. The design of this bed allows us to sleep and work at the table or work at the machine (for this, the table moves on hinges, which frees up a lot of space), and thanks to the shelves, we can store small things.
Next - tweezers. If we need to fix something small or do something very neatly, then we need tweezers. It can also be used for medicinal purposes. The tweezers will be printed on a metal printer.
The seventh tool - pliers. As indispensable as a hammer and a screwdriver. And we also combined them with a tool for removing nails and a flat screwdriver, to save consumables. They can also be used to cut, for example, wires or unscrew nuts, if necessary.
And the last on the list, but not in order of importance - dishes. Namely: glasses for water and a bowl for food. They will be made from metal.
The eighth tool is a shovel. Its lower part is metal, and the handle consists of two plastic parts that are easily assembled.
We also use blocks that will be made of concrete. Different things can be created from them. And we also made holes in the blocks to make them lighter and to use less material.
And here is a model of a wheel for a rover. It is made of metal and consists of more than 60 parts, since the size of the parts printed by the printer is limited.
