Water Tower Rockets

[Aslansmonkey]

Here's a couple 3D printed water tower rockets I designed recently. They use dowels, common body tube sizes and, of course the 3D printed parts. Each design has links to videos of their flights.

13mm motor version: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6201368

18mm motor version: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6201473

I have a 24mm motor version (photo can be seen with the 18mm version) that is based on a Nestle's Quick can. That version is unreleased until I get a flight with a stronger motor. It flew on an E12-4 but that was too much delay as this was a big heavy slow rocket. Video of that flight is here:
If I get another Nestle's Quick can I may re-design it to be lighter.

Oh, and as a spin off of these I designed a 13mm Sputnik 1

Probably should update this with my TWO versions of the 24mm motored water tower.

The larger of the two should fly on an E26 or above. The smaller one flies great on an E12 and may fly on a D12.
