My LPR rockets were taking up way too much space displaying them horizontally, so I built a Tree stand to get them off the table and up in the air.

Have three different sections - one for 18mm, one for 24mm, and one just to add height/space between rockets. Each section spins independently of the others so you can optimize the weight and direction of each rocket.

You can find all of the models on printables here: https://www.printables.com/model/437122-rocket-display-tree

One note I forgot to add to the printables description - DO NOT USE SUPPORTS! If you do, you risk leaving a little support structure within the pin cavity which will leave space for the tree to start to lean, which you don';t want.
 
Great idea! And w the hole in the wall, the tree stand can be used as a launch pad! :p

Tell us more about that cool Explorer Aquarius - is it a 2-stage rocket?
 
FYI, I created a V2 of this stand. A received a few emails from Printables in which the printed parts were not tight enough using some printers so the entire tree starts to lean. I updated the prints so you can put a 1" dowel through the entire stand which will keep it rigid.
