I decided to over engineer a fully enclosed 3” AV bay and it's is printing now. I hope it’s the real deal - the last print. The one to the right was a prototype to measure for fit and function. Watch this thread - printing of phase 1 ends on Friday. I still have 2 other components to design and fit then some functional drill guides to create, with ejection rounds (yes, I call them rounds because they are not canisters) coming last... there’s a lot to this.
Ultimately it will hold two Eggtimer Quantums and an Eggfinder, three 'remove before flight' switches, and four integrated ejection charges.
Now, it's fully threaded and I have a GPS unit so I know what you are thinking, 'What is this guy thinking!?!' I went to the dry lake bed and tested the crap out of the prototype and I got 10,000' of range out of this without issue. I'm not too concerned given the rocket sims at 10,000' on a good day - if I want to put that much motor in it. I do btw.
The Rocket will be the Mach 1 Daedalus: https://www.mach1rocketry.com/store/p147/The_Daedalus_.html
