Choosing between digital 3D-printable miniatures often comes down to the subject on your build plate and how the file is supplied for your printer. Both listings here are digital downloads from Cody3D, not physical models: one is a Space Shuttle with pedestal, the other is an American Heavy Truck Peterbilt Custom Model. The shuttle listing arrives as STL and OBJ files, while the truck listing is an STL file designed for a range of printer types. Neither download includes printed parts, so your decision should be based on which model fits your project and your machine.
Quick Verdict
If you want a display-ready spacecraft with a pedestal and a lower listed price, the Space Shuttle with Pedestal is the easier choice. If you want a heavy truck with a dedicated American truck model, the American Heavy Truck Peterbilt file is the more specific match. The shuttle is listed at USD 1.99, and the truck is listed at USD 2.25.

Where Each Listing Wins
Choose the Space Shuttle with Pedestal if you want the convenience of both STL and OBJ file formats in one package. That pairing is useful when you need to switch between slicer workflows. Choose the American Heavy Truck Peterbilt if you want a model built around a specific American truck subject. It is a heavy truck model through and through, not a generic vehicle silhouette.
Product Notes
Space Shuttle with Pedestal file STL, OBJ For all 3D printer, Two Size
Use this listing when the shuttle is the centerpiece. The package includes a pedestal, and the files come in both STL and OBJ formats. The model description points out that parts are already positioned for 3D printing, which can reduce the time you spend orienting pieces in a slicer. It also notes that dimensions can be changed in any slicer, so the two-size setup is not a hard limit. Since the listing is built around a single vehicle plus pedestal, it is the more focused option if you want a space-themed miniature without extra truck parts.
American Heavy Truck Peterbilt Custom Model File STL for All 3D Printer FDM DLP
This file is for a specific American truck subject, and the scale options make it a match for different printing technologies. The listing calls out 1/18 for FDM/FFF and 1/37 for DLP/SLA/SLS, which is useful if you have both types of printers or want a larger model on a filament machine and a smaller one on a resin machine. The description also says the polygon count has been reduced to keep the file light while preserving details, which can help with slicing performance. The trade-off is that the subject is a heavy truck, so it will appeal mainly to fans of that vehicle type. If the truck is the look you are after, this is the tailored STL download for the job.
Final Choice by Use Case
Start with the Space Shuttle with Pedestal when you want a compact, display-ready subject and both STL and OBJ file options in one download. Choose the American Heavy Truck Peterbilt when you want a truck model built around a specific American heavy truck subject.
