Red Rocket with Plume

thingiverse

I adore Nico Kazz's stunning rocket plume, found on Thingiverse under 2823726, but unfortunately, I couldn't get the rocket to print smoothly on my machine. Therefore, I began searching for a different rocket design that would work flawlessly. Inspired by Nico's plume, I replicated it and made some enhancements before combining it with Shawn Rains' impressive rocket model. This unique fusion resulted in an outstanding creation, which I'm excited to share with you. To complete the look, I added a middle flame detail - please note that this part might require gluing into place. To ensure a secure print, I used a 1cm brim on my base plate since the rocket's design doesn't provide much grip. Additionally, I added support material only to the middle section of the rocket for extra stability. Surprisingly, no brim or support is needed for the plume itself. Due to the tight tolerance between parts, some sanding might be necessary to get a seamless fit when assembling the model.
