I managed to hold off buying a bunch of stuff on sale for another day. My strength is weakening though...
Very nice. Do you plan to get those polished metallic finishes?Finished designing a pair of 3d printable low to mid power rockets.
Finished designing a pair of 3d printable low to mid power rockets. Will be test flying this weekend if the weather is good.
Ouch...Ripped off a wrong-sized launch lug from a minimum-diameter rocket, and some of the body tube in the process.

Very very nice designs! I might try entering them into OR and playing. Would love to see your pictures of the actual printed models.

Can those dimensions be correct? To my eye they don't agree with the pictured unit.

Have Sandman custom turn the upper section into a balsa nose cone.
Cut grooves and add balsa fins.
3D print the 4 into 1 tube coupler (separation point) and base unit to adapt to 4 tubes and take 4 fins.
I take it the nossels will be engine retainers?

No. They weren't. I edited the post to correct the length. The dimensions still aren't right, but they are less wrong.
>snip< No data on that booster though.
I am not planning an entry for a scale competition. I am thinking about it as a problem in construction. I want to try mold making and laying up composites. The design -- in broad strokes -- recommend itself as a challenging shape. The dimensions I marked up on the sketch were mostly an attempt to work-out if I could mill the mold on my CNC. I made multiple arithmetic errors.
Nytrunner, nice ASM. I like that you went with blue instead of red. The white decals should really pop on that one
