    SBR Fusion LDRS 40

    I know it's a test-fit, but your fins are on upside down. :-)

    SBR Fusion LDRS 40

    We're changing most kits to the 3D printed cones - first off, that's been the plan for years - to make everything in-house, but recently, they were becoming hard to get from our supplier (claimed to be due to Covid), so we decided to make the switch. Now, if you FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS, they're...

    3D Printing 4” 3D Printed Nosecone for Madcow Cricket Clone

    Or better yet.... I'll tell you. On the Nike Smoke, there is a lip printed into the base of the nose cone - a laser-cut bulkhead is epoxied into the base at the lip. On the Diablo, we use a 2-piece cone with a lip printed into the top of the base, and it uses a standard 3" coupler for the...

    Build Thread: SBR Thor 54

    Yep, and that's mainly what it's for. Adds a layer to help finish and remove the spirals - although you can see the epoxy soaking into the "threads" of the 3D printed parts - and we've had customers that dropped them without the epoxy, and they'll split fairly easily - not so much with the...

    Build Thread: SBR Thor 54

    Have you tried the instructions....? Simple modeling techniques - coat it with either West System epoxy, or regular 12 minute epoxy thinned with 70% rubbing alcohol - prime it, fill with bondo spot filler putty, sand, prime again and paint. Just as it says in the instructions. Tolulene....really?

    SBR 'The Bomb' Rocket Kit

    I never said anything about .jpg's - I said digital images - many many different formats available.... pick your poison.

    SBR 'The Bomb' Rocket Kit

    And by the way - on the current run of kits we've adjusted the fins/tabs for a better fit - still requires a bit of sanding and fitting, but it is better..... Thanks for the feedback everyone.

    SBR 'The Bomb' Rocket Kit

    I'm offering digital images of the actual working drawings for the kit - and I'm being told to lay the fin on a scanner with a ruler.... I'm sorry , but I just don't like the sound of that.

    SBR 'The Bomb' Rocket Kit

    I'll be glad to give you drawings of whatever resolution is necessary..... Didn't realize that was the problem - just let me know what you need. Lots of people asking for a sim for this kit.....

    12" foam NC

    Here's how I did the cone for my 12" x 12' Fusion rocket..... pink foam disks stacked on a wooden dowel with plywood base plate.... lots of filling and sanding. https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.1045939055417074&type=3

    Building the SBR 3" Thor kit

    Looks really good, so far. Glad to see you did it by the book.... only thing I see done differently is the attachment of the upper payload section airframe tube using the plastic rivets, rather than epoxying it in permanently. I've done it that way in the past, too - you just want to make...

    SBR Camera Window

    https://www.fusionrocket.biz/store-2/?model_number=CAM1 Might try the website for a photo of the unit.... We make a CAM1 (4" airframe), CAM3 (3" airframe) CAM5 (5.5" airframe). They're just a nice way to mount an altimeter in our kits - and they're fun to experiment with - you can hang all...

    SBR Camera Window

    There is no "sealing" of the hole - it's a hole in the airframe that the lens of the GoPro sticks through.... no need to have the electronic bay sealed.

    Scott Binder(SBR) 4" Scud Missile build thread.

    Nice job, Frank - and quick, too! I did put the Scud back up on the website - we'll give it another chance with a small run and see how it goes..... Thanks for the review! Can't wait to get started on my Glider! https://www.fusionrocket.biz/store-2/?model_number=SCUD

    3D Printing Which Creality 3d Printer would you recommend?

    I use 3 Ender 3's and 1 Ender 3 Pro in my shop - all straight out of the box and started printing. No mods at all. First one I got was the Pro, then I got a regular Ender 3 (which was quite a bit cheaper) - print quality was slightly better, so I got 2 more Ender 3's. We're using them to...
