Rocket Aurora

thingiverse

The original model was heavily inspired by "Landru's Modular Model Rocket," but due to the numerous changes, I no longer consider it a remix of his design. The Rocket Aurora is not just another rocket model; it's a fully customizable rocket system that requires feedback on any incorrect features or ideas. Note: 1. The example models are merely for inspiration and should not be printed out. To access the STL files, open the zip file in the "files folder." 2. An Arduino Uno (Raspberry Pi 3/2, not tested) along with a single 9-volt battery and some small measurement instruments can fit snugly within the Payload Bay, depending on the size of the "Payload Body Tubes" used. Fixed: Version 1.2 includes the following improvements: - The Engine_Upper_Stop component has been remade to be stronger and more heat-resistant than before. - Fincan_Blank_Small has been revamped for enhanced stability and durability. - Hooks have been added to the FH booster nosecones, allowing the full parachute system to be compatible with them. The Rocket System Aurora V1.2 package includes: - Large Body Tube + Payload version - Medium Body Tube + Payload version - Small Body Tube + Payload version - Payload Adapter - Payload Coupler (only necessary in special cases) - Dual Female Adapter - Dual Male Adapter - Ogive Nosecone + Payload version - Conical Nosecone + Payload version - Nosecone Coupler + Payload version - Engine Holder 32mm + Adapters - Engine Upper Stop 32mm + Adapters - Blank Fincan + Small version - Fincan 24mm - Fincan 18mm - Fincan Angled 2xCluster 18mm - Camera Mount 22mm (https://www.gearbest.com/car-dvr/pp_314031.html) - Dual Mirrored Empty Fincan Adapter - Booster Core Mounts X2 + X4 Mount - Booster Body Tube 18mm + 24mm - Booster Nosecone 18mm + 24 mm - Roaster Stand (Hot-wheels car) + Adapter (The-Senate's design)(https://www.ebay.com/itm/2016-Hot-Wheels-Red-Tesla-Roadster-Car-Elon-Musk-Space-X-Vehicle-RARE/232720342484?hash=item362f369dd4:g:KP0AAOSw8BNah7pz) - FH Booster Body Tube (attachable to normal body tubes) - FH Booster Nosecone Recommended Motors: - Apogee_Medalist_Motor_F10-4_1pk (29mm) - Apogee_Medalist_Motor_E6-8_1pk (24mm) Coming Next: Unclear XD. Brief Instructions: Step 1: Select Components. You will need at least a nosecone, body tube, fincan, and nosecone coupler. You can use multiple body tubes and fincans to create a longer and more stable rocket if desired. Step 2: Print parts. They printed with the perfect tightness on printer. You may need to sand some mating surfaces or add tape for the correct fit. Step 3: Screw nosecone to coupler. Glue if needed. Step 4: Tie the nosecone coupler to the fin can through the body tube with 3ft of non-flammable cord. Attach a parachute or streamer if desired (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED). Step 5: Insert Motor and add short drywall screw to the rear of the rocket for motor retention. You can also put tape on the rocket motor for a tight friction fit. Or if you use a homemade rocket engine, Use an empty fincan with an Engine holder 32mm put directly on top of it (use adapters if needed). Then place body tubes between and when preferred put the engine stop to prevent it to shoot up through the rocket. Step 6: Fly safely and have fun! (Be sure that you are at a safe distance from houses and such things to prevent damaging others property or people).
