Model Rocket

cults3d

A rocket crafted with Tinker-Cad is impressive, boasting a large design that fits together seamlessly. To ensure a snug fit for pressure purposes, you might need to wrap tape around the nose cone. Given its considerable weight, this rocket may require B and C motors; A motors, unfortunately, don't provide enough lift to deploy parachutes effectively. Printing time should be approximately 8 hours, and the design is reusable. To assemble it, simply attach fins with glue, and the optional hole on the side can accommodate a paper clip if you choose to bend it down for added stability. Due to pressure, the motor often stays in place, so feel free to tape over the hole or leave it as is – it won't affect performance. Align and glue the rings onto the rocket (I used hot glue); the extra ring on the side is merely decorative (though its purpose eludes me). If you've worked with Estes models before, this assembly process should be familiar; if not, watching a tutorial will make it straightforward. To build your rocket, you'll need a parachute, medium-length rubber band, glue gun, and a piece of paper. For flight, however, you'll require a B motor, starter, plug, launch pad, and remote launcher. Please share any comments or feedback you may have; I'll use them to improve the MK2. Have enjoyable flights ahead, and stay tuned for upcoming video and picture uploads – I'm looking forward to sharing my experiences with you!
