Ballistic Pneumatic Rocket (Programmable Payload Extreme)

thingiverse

Into the world of rocket science, where payload inertia has long been a challenging topic to tackle. From centering extreme rocket payloads to experimenting with different weights within them, there can be many theories on why a launched projectile veers off course. To eliminate as many variables as possible, this updated design allows for easy addition and removal of weight at the extreme point of the projectile. By adjusting the infill, we can observe the effects of various payloads in motion. Feel free to experiment with 0% infill, then add epoxy, BBs, liquids, glue, or other weightings as desired. For a different approach, consider providing nose cones of varying weights and colors. This was actually explored on Thingiverse (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3839776) on September 1, 2019. By printing exact clones with each launch, this method avoids confusion about nose-cone placement, centering, and tampering. Keep in mind that I'm no rocket scientist – just an amateur enthusiast searching for a better way to send objects soaring into the sky. This design also includes internal reinforcements to test at higher pressures and thinner walls for increased stability. Please note the warnings and launch safety guidelines from the original print before proceeding; use at your own risk. Enjoy the flights!
