3d print

As a modest collector of older, rarer rockets, I was delighted to discover and purchase an Estes Stealth. It’s unusual in that a) it’s got a blow-molded, non-symmetrical, canopied nose cone, used in nothing else, b) it has a formed body that fits over a BT-50 body tube, and c) it was only...

Hello all! I recently got into rocketry and have enjoyed every moment it so far! While I was building a few rocket kits, I began thinking of ways to make some of the components with a 3D printer, especially parts that can easily be replaced, like motor mounts! Here in this image, I have a...

Estes MX Missile Nose Cone Printing

I'm in the design phase of my level 3 certification. The base airframe will be a LOC Bruiser EXP. Unfortunately, I think my kit was a mixed bag between versions which means my fin situation looks like this: This obviously isn't ideal. Now, I do have a 3D printer, and the obvious solution to me...

For those of you wanting to make a BT-80 der Red Max, there is a file on thiniverse to print the nosecone. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3073567 You will need to scale the print up 158.82% to resize it from BT-60 to BT-80. I haven't tested this yet, but thought some of you would like to...

This thread is for gathering suggestions on how to evaluate the strength of 3D printed components before flying. For example, how do you ensure a fincan can sustain the forces of a given motor, that the nose cone won't shatter, that the fins won't break upon landing or the shock cord won't...

I designed a printable aft closure wrench for the Aerotech Hobby Line reloadable motors, like the one that AT sells but with a longer handle for better leverage and grip. I have not used it yet, although my 29/40-120 case is arriving later today so I will likely use it soon. You can download it...

Hello everyone, Well ı want to produce 10 cm diameter 3:1 von karman nose cone and ı set equations but dont idea how to apply in solidworks/catia can anybody help me to make in cad program? And ı heard about von karman nose cones is too Hard to produce with 3d printer cause cant giving to shape...

I am starting this thread to see which nose cones you want to see a file developed for printing. Which kit do you want to build that OOP. I will develop the file and post it in multiple sizes. Post your requests and like the thread if you want it to continue.

Some of you may know Chris Taylor for the rockets he's flown, and for his NARAMLIVE.com and RocketryLive.com websites where he has posted daily photos and videos while attending various hobby rocketry events. Anyway, the last few years, Chris has gotten into doing 3D printing. I first saw him...
