3d printing

I designed a Tube Chuck in order to sand tubes faster/easier. Tube Chuck Printables Link Printables model description mentions everything you need to make use of the tube chuck. Why did I make it? I'm glad you asked. I was doing my L3 project and wanted to fiberglass all of the body tubes. I...

This will be a somewhat detailed build thread of my Madcow 2.64" Bomarc, with lots of photos :). I purchased it from Madcow during their 20' Black Friday sale, with the help of a $40 gift certificate I received from my 2019 Secret Santa. TY SS :). Note that I deviated significantly from...

Last week, I finished my scratch 3-inch Goblin, The Great Hobgoblin. I haven't been able to fly it yet and I am planning to Level 1 next Sunday with it. The weather hasn't been great and I didn't get a chance to get out to Harsel, Colorado. I had thoughts of heading down to Alamosa, Co. for...

I picked up a Creality Ender 3s Pro a few months ago, and among several other projects, I thought it’d be cool to see how easily and reliably I could print a rocket. Design was done in Fusion360, slicing done in Cura. Using data from Fusion and Open Rocket, stability looks good. Material is...

I've been working on a few variations of 3D Printed Nose Cones with E-Bays. They're working well in the 54mm size so far, I look forward to trying out my 3in and 4in designs this spring!

Here is how I cast lead weights from a 3D Print Nose Weight on Flickr Details in the link. https://forum.ausrocketry.com/viewtopic.php?p=73781#p73544

This morning my wife gave me a nice surprise. We now have the funds available to purchase a Pursa Prusa i3 MK3S+. I have lurked these 3D printing sub-forums off and on for awhile now but I still have some *basic* questions. 1) Which sheet option should I select with my purchase. The smooth...

3D printing Bad Hair Day

Please note, I will be posting information on this project when I have more information. Please don't respond to this thread at this time. Thank you. Richard I want to develop a small lifting body design. Initially balloon or rocket lifted during development and controlled to...

This scratch build began with my son taking a knife to a Nerf football and stuffing it into a Tootsie Roll tube coin bank - a small one. He brought it to breakfast and told me he wanted to turn it into the Chocolate Rocket. He sourced some tube fins from the Rolo candy cane tubes you see at...

My Gorilla Glue "Snot Rocket" recently made its first flight! The idea was simple - I was changing a caulk tube in my caulk gun one day and thought the business end looked like a ram-jet. From that moment, I knew I had to see one fly. I headed to Lowe's looking for a tube that had a screw...

Team - long time to chat.. life gets in the way, yadda yadda... I finally bit, and bought myself a 3d printer, so I am working on lots of CAD fun with Fusion 360.. I am looking to make some sleds for my Eggfinder Minis, Eggtimer Quantum's and RRC3.. Here's the ask: does anyone have decent 3d...

So I know that there are at least a couple of other Photon users on TRF. I've bought one and have it sitting here, but haven't even plugged it in yet. So many questions, and years of FDM printing experience don't seem to apply much. I know there's a Photon group on Facebook, and I've gotten a...

This bulkhead suits 4" fiberglass coupler. Has provision for a 3pin and 4pin JST XH connector for providing battery charging. Also provision for an o-ring to seal ejection charges from getting past. This one was printed in resin on a Formlab 2. Watch out for dimensional changes...

I know were not supposed to use "any significant metal parts" but i have been experimenting with electroplating nickle to ABS plastic. i was wondering if I were to plate nickle to the payload section for increased durability if this would violate the safety rules? the plated section would house...

Finally got some downtime between projects and have installed a new Micro Swiss all-metal hotend for my Ender 3 Pro. (also switched to Capricorn tubing) The install was pretty straightforward, and I followed the video instructions on the Micro Swiss website. I had to adjust the z-stop slightly...

I was going to buy some new Hatchbox PLA and see that Amazon was out of most of the colors (including the two I was looking for, of course). The Hatchbox site also shows much of their stuff as unavailable. I'm not sure what the issue is here, or if this is a long-term thing. Does anyone...

Inspired by https://www.rocketryforum.com/threads/av-sled-first-printing-project-feedback-appreciated.151171/, I thought I would make a "plain" X-shaped avionics sled. No customization here, just a blank canvas for all your electronics and batteries. Sized for both 3" and 4" bays. These...

Ok, This is self-descriptive. Post your worst failed print.
