I will work on updating this tomorrow. Thanks.
My new model rocket landing legs!

Thanks!I like your designs.
Interesting stuff, good job!
bps.space uses a highly similar concept to gimbal the motor itself -- would be interesting to see both concepts combined although I imagine the control loop would be tricky.My first post on the forum. I'm well into my 3D printing and electronics, spend a lot of time printing random things. Also play around with arduinos and pi's. Though about getting into rocketry as I used to have the Estes kits some 25 years ago.
Looking at integrating my 3D printing and electronics knowledge into a new hobby.
This is something I put together as I have a lot of spare RC parts laying around from my drone building days. Plan to install 2 sg90 servos into this body section and control 2 fins using arduino.
I know it must have been done numerous times already but just thought I'd give it a try myself.

Alex, what is your username at myminifactory?I posted up a number of rocket related files in Thingiverse. here is a snapshot:
1) Mobius Action cam rocket mount: (from 2013)
https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:523338
2) Saturn V launch Tower
This was also posted in 2013 and it's a specific replacement for my 10" polecat. Need a BIG printer to print it unless you want to cut it into pieces - at least 400mm Z height. I also uploaded the sketchup file if you want to modify it. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:104604
3) 38mm motor high powered rocket parts
Uploaded in 2014 - fincans and nosecone's for 54mm tubes. Actually flown this several times. Still have the autocad files if anyone wants them.

I now post more often on myminifactory.com as I like their laze-fair policies more.

Long time to posting (life gets in the way...) had some time off recently and finally got around to learning a little about Fusion 360 and designed a shroud for my Runcam 2 on my 4" Deadpool Rocket:

Any chance for an insertable configurable fin can instead of a sleeve type?My OpenSCAD configurable components are buried on a thread that people may miss, so I thought it would be a good idea to put links to them here in the 'repository'.
All of these items are OpenSCAD language files that are used with the OpenSCAD CAD program. Knowledge of the language or use of the CAD system is not necessary - all of the files use the OpenSCAD Customizer feature, which places configurable parameters in a (somewhat) easy to use set of controls and entry fields. The user must, however, install OpenSCAD and do some minor configuration to use the Customizer. All of this is detailed pretty clearly (I think) in the first item.
In several cases, I've included the original item post, which contains instructions and screenshots of the item, and a follow-up post with updated code. In all cases, the code is in the form of a downloadable .txt file, which must be renamed to .scad for use by OpenSCAD. All of the files can be opened in a text editor, and they usually contain OpenSCAD install instructions in the comments, plus instructions for use of the item.
After I go through and clean these up, I'll eventually get them all on Thingiverse. Enjoy.
CONFIGURABLE FIN CAN << This first post details OpenSCAD installation and use, and instructions for use of the Fin Can. The OpenSCAD file is updated in a follow-up post here.
TRANSITION SECTION GENERATOR
CONFIGURABLE TRAPEZOIDAL FIN CAN
CONFIGURABLE CENTERING / CLUSTER RING GENERATOR
CONFIGURABLE FIN GUIDE
CONFIGURABLE TUBE DRILL GUIDE
CONFIGURABLE RAIL BUTTON STANDOFFS... but this was replaced by...
CONFIGURABLE AERODYNAMIC RAIL BUTTON STANDOFFS with updated code here.
CONFIGURABLE INTERIOR RAIL BUTTON NUT BACKPLATES with updated code here.
Gee, I didn't realize there were that many. I really need to work on some more.
I have the OpenSCAD file for it, but can't post that, as .scad is not an allowed file type.
