Modular Rocket for Estes motors

myminifactory

Modular Rocket System This project is an advanced rocket science endeavor. Rocket Motors The rocket utilizes Estes motors which come in two sizes: 18mm or 24mm in diameter (B, C, D series motors). These motors can be purchased online or at specialty model shops. Safety instructions and motor specifications are available on the Estes website. Download the latest Estes Catalogue for detailed information. Printing Your Rocket Select a Fin_18 or Fin_24 depending on the rocket motor size you're using. Ensure proper balance by checking the centre of gravity is near the nose of the rocket. Launch Pad The launch pad should be printed with a 10-inch leg for stability, but a 6 3/4 inch leg is also available for smaller printers. Print 1 x launch pad, 3 x legs, and 3 x screws. Use a 0.2mm layer height to define screw threads. Safety Precautions Always follow Estes safety instructions and take precautions as if launching fireworks. Children should be supervised by an adult. Launch Checklist 1. Check the rocket's weight and balance. 2. Ensure the launch pad is level and secure. 3. Connect the launch controller to the igniter wires. 4. Slide the rocket guide loops down the wire on the launch pad. 5. Verify everything is in order before launching. Remember, this project requires caution and attention to detail. Please follow all safety guidelines and ensure a safe launch area.
