Well, the moment you’ve all been waiting for is here. Unfortunately there may have been some slight instability issues, so the launch didn’t go exactly as planned. However, this means you can look forward to parts 5 and 6 where I fix the rocket and relaunch it! In the meantime here’s the video:
In this video, I design and print the fins for the rocket. Unfortunately my camera ran out of battery about 1/3 of the way through the print process, so the whole thing wasn’t captured, but you get the idea:
Here’s part two of my latest project:
In this video, I design and print the nosecone for the Toilet Paper Rocket. The print took 1 hour and 5 minutes total.
Time for a new project!
I will be designing and building a rocket that uses only 3d printed parts, a parachute, some string and a toilet paper tube. Here’s the first video in this 4 part series:
The engine mount was designed in Autodesk Inventor, and then printed on a modified Cupcake CNC 3d printer. The print took 57 minutes in total.
And crashed… Only one of the 2 engines required to bring this heavy rocket up to stable speed ignited. This meant that the rocket didn’t have enough speed when it left the launchpad and well… you’ll see in the video:
As well as electronics, I love rocketry. Here is the most recent rocket I have built:
It has a 3-D printed engine mount because it has 2 engines. Doing the engine mount by hand would have been too difficult with the complex shapes required to hold 2 engines in place because I am not skilled in the art of engine mount creation. I drew up a model and printed it out on our CupCake CNC… hopefully it doesn’t melt. Weather permitting, I will post video of the launch soon. (and yes, that is an easter egg nosecone)
