Rocket Launcher

thingiverse

Hello Everyone! I designed a small rocket launcher as a toy for my son who enjoys playing with it very much. A rocket is fired by hitting the bumper with your hand. Depending on how hard you hit it, the further the rocket flies. There are three different rockets to download, a short straight, a short twisted and a straight longer one. Flight characteristics: Short twisted version: shortest distance (3-5m) but rotates in flight Short straight version: medium distance (5-7m) Long straight version: longest distance (7m+) Printsettings: Base: Material: PETG or PLA Layerhight 0.2mm Walls: 3 Top/Bottom Layers: 4 Infill: 10-15% Cooling: enough for the rocket pipe Speed: 70mm/s Puller: (print upside down for no supports) Material: TPU (i used A95 hardness but i think i should also works with softer materials) Layerhight: 0.2mm Linewidth: 0.5mm (to get it strong enough) Walls: 2 Top/Bottom Layers: 4 Infill: 20% Cooling: off Speed: 30mm/s (depends on your printer and how it handles TPU) Rocket: print in Vasemode Material: PETG od PLA Layerhight: 0.2mm Walls: 1 (Vasemode) Bottom Layers: 0 Top Layers: 30-40 (to get weight on the top for flying) Infill: 0% Cooling: high Speed: 40mm/s (slow down for the 30-40 Toplayers) I also use a brim/skirt to keep the rocket on the bed Have fun playing!
