Rocket Hood Ornament

thingiverse

I'm creating a remix of the Official Rocket Ship from gCreate, turning it into a hood ornament that can be attached to cars or motorcycle front fenders. My goal is to create a mold and cast this design in aluminum. To make this project more manageable, I suggest printing the stand and rocket separately and then supergluing them together. I've included a file showing both combined parts, which can also be printed if needed, but it will require supports to print successfully. You can find these files on Tinkercad by searching for "rocket hood ornament." Update: After trying to print this design at 100% with no infill, I encountered an issue where one of the small jets came loose and my print failed. To overcome this problem, I added a brim in Cura to help it stick. Keep in mind that this project is delicate and prone to breaking when attempting to remove the brim or supports. For better results, consider printing at 200% for increased strength.
