Hi, I recently found this 3D printed Sentinel model, which I printed upscaled to a BT-55 size. I weighed the entire thing and it comes out to 4.7oz (133g). I'm wondering if I could go with a D-12 motor, or if I'd be better off with an E-12 motor? Any thoughts? I can share more info if needed.
I started a scratch build Crossfire ISX. I scaled it using open rocket to a 2.6” airframe tube and I am going to be using a 38mm motor tube. I spent yesterday drawing up vectors and cutting out my centering rings and fins using 1/4” birch. I found a motor retainer on thingverse im going to try...
I found this thingiverse thing a while ago and I have finally got all of the parts printed out. So far I have printed and sanded them, and then glued the 2 nose pieces together. This is as far as I have gotten, but will post more soon! Here is the link to the file on thingiverse: A4/V2 rocket...
I built this little Hawk rocket! I started yesterday, cad modeling and 3d printing the nose, tailcone, fins, and outer conduits. I built it all yesterday, and painted it this morning. I hope to fly it in the next hour!! I painted it with Rustoleum "Hunt Club Green". What do you think?
Hello all,
Has anyone used a Xoss GPS tracker? I've received mine and looking for a 3D-printed mount and thought maybe someone has already made one for it.

While I knew 3D printing rockets was not new, The arguments against why it will never work when compared to cardboard had me challenging my design and 3D printing skills and while I have never said it is a replacement or somehow better then cardboard tubes. I am here to...
Hey All
Been designing and testing 3D printed Fins as part of STEM project. and I have a couple of questions around simulating results here.
The fin gets printed on a 15 degree support to make sure that the layer lines is not in the same direction as airflow and the fin experiences more of a...
Hey Fellow Rocketry Geeks 🤓
I've recently joined this addiction and can't stop. I'm new to Rocketry but not new to electronics, programming and mechatronics. Rocketry allows me todo all of the above. I live in Canada and LPR is my only choice. But that should not be a limitation. As a result I...
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...
So the other day, my son Jack (who's 2) and I went out to our local park to fly some small stuff. Because he's 2 and has a short attention span, I had everything read to go. Igniters in rockets, chutes packs, the works. We launch our first rocket (a Der Red Max on a C6-5), goes great. The...

Decided to start this thread as I will be dropping as many files as I can and wanted to keep things organized. Files will be uploaded to Thingiverse with some instructions and video build guides linked.
My most recent upload is a rocket I call VIPER 1. It is a cluster core design and has been...
Chuck Haislip's 3D printed rocket on a D12. Sections were gently friction fitted with a shock cord from the fin section to the nose cone. The attachment tabs...
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...
Hello all,
Has anyone here created the wraps as shown on the Apogee website here (https://www.apogeerockets.com/Building_Supplies/Wraps/Saturn_V_VacForm_3rd_Stage_Wraps)
but instead of vacuum-forming them, has anyone 3D printed them?
Hello! Since paper towels and toilet paper appear to be quite desirable these days, I couldn't just throw the empty tubes away. LOL! I found a good Coronavirus model on Thingiverse and made it into a fitting nose cone in Fusion 360. The virus obviously needs supports, but PrusaSlicer also...
Is it a bad idea to design a minimum diameter F-class rocket? My concern is the structural integrity of the rocket. I intend on 3D printing (PLA) it with a wall thickness of about 2-3mm. Does anyone have any experience with 3D printing minimum diameter mid-power rockets?
Thanks
