3D printed model rocket

thingiverse

A fully 3D printed model rocket body, cap, and nosecone. All you have to do is create a parachute, attach the nosecone to the body using a shock cord (rubber band), attach the parachute to the nosecone, and then insert a model rocket engine and launch! Full instructions including pictures will be uploaded soon. Launches and awards: I have had 4 successful lift-offs and recovers with zero failures so far. The first two were test launches to verify the strength of the model and the reuseability, it passed with flying colors. The 3rd launch was at a Technology Student Association regional conference where it received 1st place for student built rockets. The 4th and most recent launch was at the Technology Student Association state conference where it swept the field, receiving 1st place out of dozens of student built rockets and high praise by the judges (one said I should publish it). The model has been highly successful and flies with no gyrations, separates effortlessly, and lands gently under my handmade parachute.
