Anyone designed a sort of universal bracket whereby the bracket(s) are glued / screwed to the rocket
Then you can slide a 1010 rail lug into the brackets or a launch lug into the bracket.
The bracket would have a raise lip on the aft end to stop the lug from moving backwards at launch.
All 3D printed of course

I am a CAD fail.
 
I don't have one that can change from a lug to a rail button, but I do have a simple 3d printed rail button mount, screws to the aft centering ring, and one that fits inside for the upper button. Simple drill jig for putting in the holes.

Thank you. Nice work!
The idea is I can take whatever pad is available without having to have both rod and rail lungs mounted on the rocket.
