1/10 Scale Nike Smoke Model Rocket
thingiverse
The Nike Smoke was a sounding rocket used by NASA in the 1960's for atmospheric research. This model is 21.5" tall and the fin span is slightly less than 6". The tallest part is the nose cone at about 8.5". The inside diameter is 1.6", so standard centering rings could be used to make this a flyable model rocket. The shell is 1mm thick allowing for two extrusions of .5mm. The fin section and mid section connect with a twist-lock bayonet fitting, as do the nose cone and nose cone base. The nose cone base slip-fits into the mid section. I have not tried launching one of these myself, and I don't know how well the common 3D printing materials like PLA will hold up to the heat of a rocket engine ejection charge, so proceed at your own risk. Double-perimeter fins can add weight to the rear of the rocket, so pay attention to the CG/CP relationship to ensure stability.
