Moon Rocket for single extruder printer (adhesive-free assembly)

thingiverse

Rocket for Single Extruder Printer All parts snap together for easy, glue-less assembly, making it a simple puzzle to solve. Once fully assembled, the rocket stands approximately 173.08 mm tall. Minor fitting may be required depending on print accuracy and consistency. Parts have 0.2 to 0.3mm clearance between most places. Printing Quantities and Suggested Colors: A-NoseCone: Print one in Red. B-5Stage: Print two in Red, two in White (top level). C-4Stage: Print two in Red, two in White. D-3Stage: Print two in Red, two in White. E-2Stage: Print two in Red, two in White. F-1Stage: Print two in Red, two in White (bottom level). G-Base: Print one in Red; support enabled is recommended. H-Center: Two are required (not visible, color does not matter). A-NoseConePrintAid: This part should be printed along with A-NoseCone. It will force the printer to move back and forth between the two parts, giving time for thinner layers at the nose cone tip to cool before adding another layer. Parts will print best when laid upright on the printer bed. B to F parts can be difficult to put back in order if mixed up. Keeping them organized until assembly is recommended. This rocket is inspired by a German V2 test rocket. *** UPDATE *** Adding STL files for the base with separate dovetailed legs, named "G2," allows printing even larger rockets. However, some fitting will likely be required due to zero clearance in the dovetails. *** UPDATE 2 *** A gap between the nose cone and side panels is common due to the added length at every joint. Measuring and adjusting the height of side panels can help achieve a better fit.
