Launchable Rocket 300 ft Altitude

pinshape

This design was crafted specifically for the space design contest, where it stood out as a simple to print, easy to assemble, and fun to play with model rocket that can be launched using any size A rocket motor. The rocket flies remarkably straight and high, reaching an impressive altitude of about 300 ft when powered by an A10-3T motor. Printing requirements are minimal, making it ideal for at-home enthusiasts; we achieved excellent results using a 0.2 mm layer height and 25% infill. We hope you'll enjoy printing and launching this rocket as much as we did! Check out the accompanying video to see the rocket in action. We'd love to hear about your experiences with this design - please share photos of your prints and let us know how your launch went. If you have any questions or need advice on assembly or launching, feel free to send a message. To assemble the rocket, first attach the U-shaped shock cord attachment point to the slots in the base of the nose cone, leaving enough space to tie a string and rubber band through. Then, tie a string between the attachment point and something that can be used as a streamer or parachute - we used a scrap piece of ripstop nylon fabric for our design. Next, cut a rubber band and glue one end to the inside wall of the main body; then tie the other end to the shock cord attachment point. Finally, screw on the motor holder using size 1 or 2 x 1/2" wood screws once you've inserted a motor.
