Description
The LaserPecker LX1 is a foldable desktop laser engraver with very little footprint when folded up. This vertical stand further reduces its footprint by vertically storing it and making it a model space rocket on a launch pad.
This design was inspired by the Chinese space rocket Long March 2F
Within my capability, I'm happy to make alternative rocket designs for FREE. Drop me a message with your ideas 🙂
About each part:
Head - depending on your printer's capability, you can print it without support. If unsure, enable support. This part helps restrict the LX1 arm's horizontal and vertical movement.
Boosters - a purely decorative part with no actual function with regard to the storage of LX1.
Base - provides snug support to the big end of the LX1.
Fins - you will need 4 of these. They slide into the sockets in the base to improve the stability of the base by increasing its footprint. Depending on the precision of your printer, after carefully cleaning your prints, if you still struggle to slide the fins into the socket from the bottom of the base, turn the base upside down, use a heavy object like a wood block or a hammer CAREFULLY and GENTLY knock the fins into their sockets LITTLE BY LITTLE till the fins are flush with the base. On the other hand, if the fins are too loose and may slide out of the sockets by their own weight, use a drop of glue, a tiny piece of paper or a thread to jam the fins in the sockets 😉
