Hello!
I am someone who has completed their level one certification with a cardboard tube on an H-motor. For my next rocket, I am using fiberglass tubes for the first time. I want to connect 3 4-inch fiberglass tubes, but I don't want to spend money on pre-bought fiberglass couplers. Are there any cheaper alternatives that will work for high-power rockets? I have access to a 3D printer and have thought of 3D printing couplers with PLA. Would this be strong enough to survive the high stress on a level 2 or even 3 certification?
