Spring for Desktop Stomp Rocket

prusaprinters

<p>After printing Lobocnc's awesome <a href="https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/131862-desktop-stomp-rocket">Desktop Stomp Rocket</a> I found that the plunger likes to slide down on its own inside the launcher (damn you, gravity!) so I conjured up a quick spring.</p><p>I only made one full circle which should be printed on the print bed but will be the top side of the spring in the model. This I did because I wanted the spring to take up as little space as possible to have as much air pressure for the rocket to launch.</p><p>The first spring I designed was thinner, but the plunger was too heavy so it compressed the spring by its own weight.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Printed with supports everywhere in the “snug” style of PrusaSlicer (you can find this in print settings)<br>The supports where okay to remove for me, but be careful not to break the spring.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Edit:<br>User AtticStatic wrote in the comments that they printed it successfully without supports</p>
