Hello Rocketry Forum people!
I work at a company which makes 3d printers, and some of the employees recently decided to have a printed rocket contest.
The engine we have to use is the c6-5.
It needs to be fully printed, other than the hardware for the parachute, shock cord, engine mount, and whatever else is involved. We have to be able to retrieve the rocket after launch. I guess the winner will be whoever's flys the highest, but most of the focus is actually getting a bunch of people making rockets.
I have looked up the specs for it, understand the very basics of begininng launch weight for the engine and rocket combo, etc.
What I need to find is a kit for the engine mount and parachute, and maybe any recommendations about what I should aim for hardware wise.
The design has to be all me.
I haven't launched a rocket in maybe 20 years.
The C6-5 has an outside diamater of 18mm. The only kits I can find seem to be for B, D, and E engines.
Some of the B engine kits state they can fit 18mm engines, so maybe I should go for that?
Thanks in advance for any help!
