Estes Model Rocket Stands for Goblin and Der Red Max Kits

prusaprinters

This is a variation on UnknownPro's Goblin stands (which I use).  There are lots of stands out there but the aesthetics of this one brings joy to my dark and dreary world.  However, I don't build rockets with motor clips (Friends don't let friends build rockets with motor clips), and the ring for my retainers is always too small, so I have to hang it off the pole meant for the MMX version.  I have done a couple of things with this:I beefed up the base of the tower b/c I had one break on me.  Probably me being dumb and not using enough infillI thinned the shaft so that it would accommodate my motor retainer ring.  This should still work for motor clip users (you know who you are) albeit a little loose.I added an Iron Cross medal for the Red Max version.  I know it's not the same as the Red Max decals but I like the WWI version better.I created a version to fit the 18mm motor (with motor retainer).  Fitment applies the same as the larger one.  I plan to modify another Red Max to use a 24mm motor mount so I wanted options.I have not printed these yet but I need them both right now, so I will update this description with the results and modify the design if I have any issues.If you love the Estes Der Red Max and/or the Goblin, but want something with a little more “sport” to it, check our my builder's kits:  Goblin Extreme and Red Max Extreme – both with 29mm Motor Mount Tubes and Motor Retainers.  No Engine clips (yuck).
