Rocket ejection plug (for Estes)
thingiverse
This is a crucial component (ejection plug) for safe parachute deployment. - The original diameter of 25mm represents an older design with a straightforward profile. - A newer version boasts an outer diameter of 23mm, featuring beveled edges for improved functionality. During my early days of rocketry with Estes models, I encountered a common issue: the parachute would sometimes suffer damage from ejection discharge. To prevent this, I insert this plug after the rocket motor, effectively shielding the parachute from harm. For optimal performance, it's essential to craft this plug using thin, lightweight materials such as PLA (Polylactic Acid). This approach not only reduces weight but also promotes eco-friendliness by utilizing compostable plastics, thus minimizing waste and protecting the environment.
