EASY Do it Yourself Rocket! Made from Easy to obtain materials and a 3D print!

thingiverse

Ever wanted to make a model rocket, a firecracker, or just build a rocket launcher? (I'm not encouraging that type of behavior but you will do whatever you like with my design.) Don't have the funds or time to do a big build project? Look No Further! This project incorporates easy to find materials and one single 3D printed part to make you your very own, disposable, one time use 1/1/4 inch pvc pipe makeshift rocket.Easy Rocket Fuel Recipe is included! I'm not responsible for your actions. Read Instructions for more Details! Instructions Tools needed Screw driver(match to whatever kind of screw you want to use) Parts needed to build rocket, broken down by sections: --- For the Rocket Body --- 1 section of 1 1/4 inches PVC piping (or 31.75 mm if your not from the US) 1 3D printed Rocket Fincan (the 3D printed part) 2 short screws, whatever you can find. --- For the Rocket Fuel --- Sugar Potasium Nitrate (STUMP REMOVER) To make Fuel: Ratio is 60% Stump Remover and 40% Sugar. Melt it down in a frying pan on high heat OUTDOORS. Don't do it inside, bad fumes! Google Candy Rocketfuel if you want more info on how to make it. -- HOW TO BUILD ROCKET! -- Cut PVC Pipe To Desired Length, make sure there is enough room to screw the Rocket Fincan to the PVC pipe (Screws go through the holes on the side of the Fincan!) Place Chunk or Chuncks of rocket fuel you made into the butt end of the PVC pipe. Try to pack it in just as far as the screw holes go. Push Rocket Fincap onto butt end of PVC pipe until the pipe is flush with the Rocket Fincap, sealing in the fuel. Screw 2 screws into the screw holes at slight angles on the plastic part. Effectively, this will seal the fuel in place from the other side, keeping it from being pushed into the front of the rocket when it is lit. Locate a safe/legal location where you can shoot off this rocket. I'm leaving the ignition system up to you, but people can get pretty creative. I DO NOT SUGGEST ANY CLOSE RANGE IGNITION! Please ignite with a safe method.. You have now completed the rocket! Have fun!
