Description

This Rocket is extremely high flying and very aerodynamic. If printed with 1 wall, 30% infill PETG then No parachute or streamer is needed, just tie the two halves together with para cord or thin steel wire. Great with PETG but other filaments will work too. The fins are air foil shaped which allows reduced drag and better corrections for a very straight flight path.

@theo7279

best rocket ever! one thing is that it will melt the plastic and then make a big and satisfying fidget! here is a picture of a launch.

@paul.h.allen

That is so great! Thank you for sharing a photo. I love seeing it being used by others. Made my day.

@paul.h.allen

which filament were you using? also was it dry when you started? the more information helps me troubleshoot.

@sarkoon

Replying to @paul.h.allen :

I had a very similar printing issue and I believe the problem is that the cross-bar inside the rocket tube is only connected on one side. See photos. So it's trying to print that part in empty space.

@paul.h.allen

Replying to @sarkoon :

You are correct, I looked into it and I am not sure when or how this change happened but I will fix it and update. Thank you for finding that!

@Hudker

It took of beautifully, and the nose came off beautifully, however, the description about not needing a parachute is totally wrong lol.

@dogfight

does not fit c engines : (

The designer has replied

@paul.h.allen

have you tried B or A engines? If so do they fit? C is supposed to be the same physical size as B and A engines. I could try loosing up the tolerances a bit however it's a tricky balance between holding the engine vs being too loose. I have a better solution that will come out in an updated model soon, I just need to finish testing it.

(Edited)

@dogfight

no I have not tried any other engines and I will take a photo of the engine to give you some insight, looking forward to the revised rocket! thanks!

@dogfight

Replying to @paul.h.allen :

other than that this is a great model!

@paul.h.allen

That is interesting about it getting knocked over. If the printer filament isn't dry enough it can ooze a little causing more to be deposited than is supposed to and after enough layers it could make it so the nozzle would start to hit the model. If the filiment is dry and it's still having problems you could also try slowing the print speed down.

@cubeboy7812

yo can some one please tell me the measurements of the propellant with some pictures pls it’s my first ever model rocket and I don’t want to mess it up

@pigeon0

wdym propellant? The outer dimensions of a A, B, or C motor are 18mm in diameter and 70mm in length. The A, B, and C estes motors all have the same dimensions.

@cubeboy7812

Replying to @pigeon0 :

nvm I was forced to make my own engines

@cubeboy7812

Replying to @pigeon0 :

thanks tho

@The_Chill_Guy1

can you make it into 3 pices so i can use my a1 mini i will boost

The designer has replied

@paul.h.allen

yes, I can do that. Will work on it soon.

@evenweirder

I just made it a bit shorter in BambuStudio then matched the same high on both parts by copying and pasting the same hight on Scale mode where it says Z. Hope thats Helpful.😊

@user_298734304

what fuel does it neads ?

@ZG787yt

Estes a,b,or c series engines (cheap), get igniter and put it in the engine, put a plug in to secure the igniter, connect it to your plug and fire

@user_3596062921

where do you get engines?

@Griffincha

you can order them on Estes website or get them at a hobby store like hobby lobby if you have one near you
