Description

These are fun rockets with boosters that extend on take-off. I designed two sizes and each contain two parts: the main rocket body and the boosters. The larger rocket has four small boosters and the smaller rocket has one large booster.  These make great little gifts or party favors 🚀

 

Layer Height 0.2mm

PLA works great

15-20% Infill

Supports needed for the area around the boosters on the Large Rocket

 

Dimensions of Large Rocket: 4in x 2 3/8in

Dimensions of Small Rocket: 3 1/4in x 1 7/8in

 

There are two ways you can print these rockets (I included both in their print profiles):

  1. Print the complete rocket: this prints great but if you want multi-color for the boosters (and/or fins) it’s going to take some time (I found 8-10hrs)
  2. Print the boosters first, print the rocket second pausing at layer height 15.6mm for the large rocket and 30.6mm for the small rocket, drop the boosters in and then continue printing. This method is much faster:)

 

In the print profile for the small rocket I included the complete rocket to print on plate #1. On plates #2 & #3 I separated the rocket from the boosters, so they can be printed separately (make sure to print the boosters first:)

 

In the print profile for the larger rocket I included the complete rocket to print on plate #1. On plates #2 & #3 I separated the rocket from the 4 sets of small boosters so they can be printed separately (again make sure to print the boosters first:)

 

Note: supports are needed for the larger rocket at the base around the rings for the boosters. I have included those supports in my print profile. (Also note if you are printing plate #3, I did not include supports in the booster chambers so that they are clear to drop the boosters in:)

 

My designs are free for personal and non-commercial use. If you would like to sell them for commercial use, send me a message and we can discuss the details:)

Thanks so much!

 

Have fun printing these…they’re a blast 🚀

Turned out really cute but the tolerances were too tight on the flames so they didn't extend (probably because I used a 0.6 mm hot end)

That is interesting. I haven't tried printing these with a 0.6mm hot end and now I am curious about it affecting the tolerances...

It seems like they were not sealed the entire way up, just along the z-seam. I tried to pop it apart but couldn't get a good hold of it.

I just confirmed this. The .6 hot end does not work with this one. stick with the .4 and it works great.

These look awesome:) Did you print them all at the same time? How long did they take?

I did!! I think around 11 hours and I used 65% purge volume instead of 100, too, to cut down on 💩 from all the color changes.

Very nice design! I printed them both on the X1C using Prusa PLA "Lipstick Red", Bambu PLA Basic "Grey", and Bambu PLA Silk Dual-Color "Gilded Rose." Note to self: read the instructions more carefully! If everything is printed separately, the rocket flames won't go back into the rocket, LOL! Thanks for the tip to pause and insert the flames before continuing. It saved a lot of time and filament! edit: Sorry - I forgot to give a rating - 5 stars! I guess I can't go back and do it now :-(

Printed Fine But doesn’t come out all the way

try gently tugging on the innermost "flame" to smooth out the edges inside. try using needle nose pliers or tweezers pinched onto the rim/outside of the tiniest part in the middle. it worked for me!

No problems at all on a Bambu Labs X1C with AMS. Worked great and fun to show off. For the flames I used a rainbow filament with a long transion that just happened to on that gold color. oMy only nit is that it wasn't clear from the description whether the pause was included in the profile and I waited anxiously to see if I had to hit pause at just the right time. For those wondering... ** The pause is included in the profile. ** Thank you for the model and the profile.

Nice little model; great idea to print the flames separately and then pause the print. Printed with Bambu Lab PLA Matte Ivory White, Bambu Lab PLA Basic Red, and eSun PLA Silk Dual Color Green/Blue.
