Description
I tried a few other rocket stands, but they needed tons of supports or didn't fit on my Prusa Mini's bed.
So, I designed a new rocket stand. This one doesn't need supports and fits within a 180mm x 180mm bed. I started with a 38mm motor mount. The mount goes up 100mm into the motor tube, so it should fit just about anything with a 38mm motor mount.
I also added stands for 29 & 24mm motor mounts. The legs are the same size, but the motor mount tubes are sized to match standard 29 & 24mm MMT tubes.
Update: (2021-03-31) I added a 4-leg version of the 38mm rocket stand. This makes the leg-span a little bigger since 4 legs fit better on a square printer bed than 3.
Motor tube heights:
38mm: 100mm tall
29mm: 70mm tall
24mm: 60mm tall
The legs taper down to nearly a point so that they'll sit flat to a carpeted floor. The flat-bottomed and tapered legs also let you print without any supports.
Note: since these are designed to print on a printer with a small bed (like my 180mm x 180mm Prusa Mini), the stands may not have wide enough legs to properly support larger rockets. You need to determine for yourself if these stands will work with your rockets.
