Character Rockets by Aslansmonkey

These are some character rockets made for use with Pringles cans. The two from the popular video game series use the mini Pringles cans (or half a regular can) and the original design Rocket Boy uses a full regular Pringles cans.
Some of this is redesigns from other people's work mainly to make them nose cones that will fit a Pringles can. So for full attributions:
Bullet Bill is from: https://www.myminifactory.com/object/3d-print-bullet-bill-26743
Boo is from: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2824758
I got the tongue for Rocket Boy from: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:644879/files
Only Boo is light enough to fly on the 18mm motors well, in my opinion, and at that, he's a little heavy. But I use a 4' launch rod so it flew fine. The other two rockets should use the 24mm mount and fly on a D12-3.
Rocket Boy's tooth has a flat surface and you should use your slicer's "Lay Flat" option on that surface. Then duplicate it and switch the duplicate left to right to make the other tooth. Or just use one tooth...or none. It's your rocket!
The fins are made to slot into the base but if you use a full Pringles can like I did on Rocket Boy you should glue along the body as well at least on the fin that has the launch lugs.
I only got a photo of Boo in flight (212 feet high) on a C6-3. But here are links to the videos of the other two:
