Yes, cyanoacrylate is super glue or CA glue. Yes, epoxy is usually a lot more appropriate for most rocket applications. The other good thing about epoxy is that you can control the viscosity by adding fillers to thicken it. Surface preparation is important when using epoxy. Surfaces should be roughe...

How's this project going George?

Great build. What do you use for motor retention? Friction fit - little bit of tape around the base of the engine and then jam it into the motor mount. Since the top of the mount is open, there's little back pressure at eject, so the motor should remain in place without trouble :) Cheers, Krusty! M...

Great build.

These look great . I have ordered my first 3d printer and hope to see it arrive early next with this kind of thing in mind. Cant wait to see what it can do. Great to hear. There are lots of interesting 3d printable rockets and accessories available online, but I think it's more fun to design your o...

Inspired by Strud's post about lack of posts recently I thought would share some poor quality pics of my recent experiments with 3d printed minimum diameter fin cans. Having finished my L2 project I decided the go back to low power. I haven't made many minimum diameter rockets before so I started wo...

I think we have had 2 low power launches and zero high power launches this year, due to Covid and then insurance issues. So that has knocked the wind out of my sails a little. I have been quietly working on a few projects, but probably nothing exciting enough to post on here.....unless people really...

I think it would be great to see some sort of official statement from AMRS.

"We just came out here for six and a half hours for no reason," one boy said.

Tough crowd.

Man that looks solid.

Awesome build.

Hi Pony,

Welcome to the forum.

Its a great hobby and there are lots of great people on here that will be happy answer questions.

Enjoy.

Looks great.

That is a serious fin alignment jig. Love it.

while I included a tie down point for the parachute for the nose cone, I didn't include anything similar for the body. I recently needed an attachment point inside a body tube. So I printed this ring. https://i.ibb.co/wy1T2gP/Screen-Shot-2020-08-18-at-8-42-18-pm.png I epoxied in a carbon fibre rod ...

Great to see more 3d printed fin cans. I have been printing and flying various different rockets with 3d printed fin cans for a while. In my experience the fins don't survive for long if they hit the ground first. So now I only 3d print fin cans with fins that are swept forward. So the motor hits th...

I'm not familiar with the rules, but if I was writing the rules I would say that bonding anything to a motor closure is a motor modification.

But its a great rocket.
