3D Printing Vintage Launch Pad

​

3D-printable vintage model rocket launch pad. My goal is to share with my grandson the launch method I was using in 1970. The upper and lower sections lack the exterior detail of the originals. The launch pad will operate on internal power with 6V DC or 12V DC using D size batteries or when optionally wired for external power connections. With thanks to @BEC for his assistance and to @cwbullet for printing prototype sections used for battery test fitting. Brass hardware for battery contacts has to be fabricated and this is still a work in progress. Launch rod pivot assembly and vintage launch controller are available as separate designs.
