Two Part Rocket

thingiverse

This two-part rocket is perfect for many uses, from desktop decoration to portable storage device, or my personal preference, an awesome glowing model! The rocket boasts a substantial amount of internal storage space, with easy-to-remove separable halves. The model is not limited by its given size and printing at smaller scales presents the chance to hot glue an old USB stick inside the rocket and transform your once plain storage device into an aerospace-themed USB. Scaling up the model is also possible, and the images shown of the printed model were scaled to 1.5 (150%) and allow for a great desktop decoration that will force even the most strong-willed of passersby to pick it up and inspect. As mentioned, the rocket presents the opportunity to create a glowing model, highlighting the 3D printing process by placing an LED and battery inside the model. With low infill amounts (~10%-15% max) and a maximum of 2 perimeter layers, the LED will light up the infill pattern onto the outer surface of the rocket. I suggest using lighter filament colors for the glowing model.
