Breast Cancer Awareness Model Rocket

[BigMacDaddy]

I bought some silky pink filament and was thinking about making a model rocket design in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October.

My wife is passionate about this (her mom is a survivor) so thought this might be a nice surprise.

What rocket models do you guys think would look good in pink, with ribbon shapes, etc...?

Not for your filament, but here was my breast cancer rocket.

Thanks, beautiful rocket... I am thinking about maybe just doing a nose cone and boat tail in pink (body and fins can be painted white or whatever).

What's your MIL enjoy? Something that she would like.

I thought about something doubled up but that seemed too much on the... nose...

I’m working on one of these right now for sort of similar reasons! Build thread is in the HPR section.

Attaching a ribbon on 1 or either side of the rocket would stand out.



Or vinyl stickers.

I like this one from a few years ago, but it definitely went “full boob”. Not very subtle, but it was a fun project by a semi-local rocketeer who flies with some of the same clubs I do.

What do you guys think of a 3D printed fin insert? Thinking maybe a Super Baby Bertha kit...

I don’t have a close up on my iPad but the nose cone carried about 25 signatures of breast cancer survivors.

The countdown should be

5, 4, 3, 2, 1, TaaTaa!

That's nice. I'd never thought of 3D fin inserts before and now you have me thinking...

 

[BigMacDaddy]

Quite pleased with how this is coming out...

Its recovery is via twin tass... er... streamers. It's called Double-D Bertha

Double-D Bertha

Speaking of which, could a Super Big Bertha handle a cluster of two D engines?

That looks awesome!

I've been pondering cutting templates for this chute pattern.

That is... fairly amazing. A magical combination of 3D printing + laser cutting + creativity.

Worthy of the coveted three thumbs up.

Thank you! You are going to see lots of fin inserts from me in the future...

I painted and named this "Leviathette" in honor of breast cancer awareness. I worked in medicine and participated in treating several young women
(20-30's), with breast cancer, some with metastatic disease. The "ette" suffix is feminine. I try to mention the name in relation to breast ca awareness when I fly it so others are aware.

I don't see why not. I've flown mine on Fs
