AMSE MODEL ROCKET

thingiverse

In my pursuit of mastering 3D printing and CAD design, I embarked on a straightforward rocket project that my kids and I could enjoy launching together. As model rocket enthusiasts, I thought it was time to design, print, and launch our own unique creation. This rocket features simple components that allow for customizable length. The configuration I've tested includes: 2x Rocket Body 2x Launch Lug Coupler 1x Quad Stabilizer Body 4x Motor Mount Truss 1x Motor Mount Upper Ring 1x Motor Mount Lower Ring 1x Nose Cone 1x Shock Cord Mount Assembled using CA glue. You will need to provide your own parachute and shock cord, with a 12-inch diameter parachute recommended for optimal performance. My suggested rocket motors are Estes B6-4 or C6-3. With a motor weight of approximately 120 grams, the B6-4 will launch this configuration around 100 feet high, while the C6-3 will reach altitudes closer to 300 feet. All parts were printed with 20 percent infill. The Nose Cone was printed vertically (nose up) with a raft and supports in place. The Launch Lug Coupler was printed with support under the rod guide for added stability.
