Estes 2018 Christmas Ornament

thingiverse

Each year Estes manufactures and sells a unique, plastic rocket ornament that you can buy during the Christmas season or will be included with an order from Estes. These are static rockets not meant to fly, but simply to hanged on the branch of a tree. This particular rocket was produced during the 2018 Christmas season. I have included six 3D models (three 4-fin and three 3-fin) that will allow you print them and hang them on your own tree. All you need to do is add a string to the integrated loop on the model. Want to fly it? I have included six models that can be flown. Model 1: Original with a 13mm motor mount. It will allow you to use mini-motors that need to be friction-fit into the motor mount. I did include a motor mount block into the design to prevent the motor from moving too far forward. I would recommend installing a shock cord mount, shock cord, and a streamer for the recovery system. The only other thing to add is a launch lug. Model 2: Same as above but with the Estes logo embossed into the airframe Model 3: Same as the above but wit the Estes logo raised on the airframe. Model 4, 5, 6: Same as above, but with three fins. Model 7, 8, 9, 10: Nose cone plain, nose cone 4-fin, nose cone 3-fin, and integrated nose cone/end cap. Model 11: Estes logo Model 12: Fin only
