Description
This is a 3d printed end support for a launch tower for 29mm high power rockets. This is still a work in progress, but I've done several flights with this with minimum diameter 29mm rockets and CTI I224 motors. None of the parts show any wear & everything works great. You can see a video of my first 29mm min-diameter rocket CTI I224 launch here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Np2yk-4uS3s
Update (2019-06-02) - V2 uploaded with slightly more space between EMT tubing and outer support structure. It also has a slightly enlarged 1010 launch rail square hole for easier mounting/unmounting.
