Low Profile Model Rocket Stand

thingiverse

I was working on one of my new rockets and suddenly the thought occured to me; why have i not made myself some rocket stands yet? So I did just that, after about 5 minutes in Fusion 360. This is a stand good for a range of rocket sizes, with smaller rockets able to rest inside the stand itself, and larger rockets (Such as the one in the thumbnail) sitting on top and being supported by the tips of the "fingers". I have made 2 versions, a short version which will be good for most small rockets, and a taller version for those with bigger fins. The rocket in the thumbnail is using the small stand, and is about 5.3cm in diameter, with the fins coming out about 4.5cm from the body. I had to rotate the rocket 45 degrees from the normal so it would fit, but rockets with smaller fins won't have to be.
