Disposable Rocket Project

For our final project in my 3D Modeling class, students designed unique disposable rockets by customizing the top nose cone and bottom fins. The body comprised of the A8-3 rocket engine. Despite initial expectations of destruction after launch, the rockets surprisingly held up well and could be reused multiple times. Here are some videos showcasing these 3D printed rockets; however, quality may be poor due to their speed. I was inspired by kebes22's design (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:127354) and encourage other educators and students to create and innovate with rocket projects using 3D printing technology in the classroom.
