Description

This is based on the partial 3D design but customized to

  • add a 3D printed fin can using an OpenSCAD library
  • add a complete 24mm motor mount with screw-on motor retainer
  • fix some printing problems with the nosecone - I think there can be further improvements here.

It needs the following non-3D parts:

  • 12x BT-20 4" tubes
  • 1x BT-55 18" body tube
  • 1x. BT-50 12" motor mount tube
  • 1x screw eye for recovery retention
  • Recovery harness (I prefer kevlar kite line)
  • Parachute

A tad on heavy side, I've included a partial Open Rocket model with motor suggestions. The OR model is only partial since OR doesn't cope well with multiple tubes, I've overridden mass and drag to suggests what I believe are the appropriate parameters.
