<h3> Apollo Launch Pad for Micro Maxx rockets</h3> <p>This is actually a 'launch pad adapter' that can also be used as a display stand for your Micro Maxx. It's designed for the <a href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-QUEST-MICRO-MAXX-SET-READY-TO-FLY-MODEL-2-ROCKET-SHUTTLE-SET-NASA-EDITION/173893322191">Micro Maxx Saturn V</a> but as you can see it works well with the Space Shuttle.</p> <p>By adapter - I mean the pad can slide down a typical 1/8" launch pad rod allow you to use that as the stand for the launch pad.</p> <p>There is an opening in the base for the engine exhaust to pass through the bottom.</p> <p>For display, you insert the "Display pin" into the tower boom (you can even add some filament for the lightning rod on top of the boom).</p> <p>For launch, you lift the tower boom off the Micro Maxx rod and swing it to the side (like a real launch profile)</p> <p>I use CA glue to attach the tower to the base.</p> <p>The launch pad will require a Micro Maxx 3/34" sized launch rod. (about 11" or so)</p> <p>If you feel like tweaking the model here is the <a href="https://a360.co/2Mr28Rg">Fusion 360 link</a></p> <p>10/4/21 - Added a 13mm "MicroMax" Saturn V you can print up and fly. With my test model it flew better than the Quest Saturn V. It does require hand painting and a streamer for recovery. Note: The Saturn V fin can has small supports that need to be removed after printing.</p> <p>10/6/21 - Added Micro Max Mars Lander. This model is untested and really doesn't allow for any sort of recovery system. I suspect the legs won't survive any sort of landing but the ascent should look real cool. The Legs can be held in place with a small pin (cut short) but the top and bottom need to be glued together, using the launch rod and a spent motor as an alignment guide.</p> <h3> Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer:</strong></p> <p>Kossel Delta</p> <p><p class="detail-setting rafts"><strong>Rafts: </strong> <div><p>No</p></div><strong>Supports:</strong></p> <p>No</p> <p><p class="detail-setting resolution"><strong>Resolution: </strong> <div><p>0.3mm</p></div><strong>Infill:</strong></p> <p>25%</p> <p><strong>Filament:</strong> Bilby3D ABS Translucent</p> </p></p> Category: Hobby
