Rocket Aurora by Real_Indrit

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

The models were originally a pretty close remix to "Landru's Modular Model Rocket". But due to all the major changes, therefor I don't qualify it as a remix of his model rocket anymore.
Rocket Aurora is not just "a rocket model", this model is a fully customisable rocket system. To make this possible I need to get YOUR feedback on things that are incorrect/should be improved or just new ideas!
NOTE:

The example models are not meant to be printed out! They are just there as inspiration. Open .zip file in the "files folder" to get to the STL files.

An Arduino Uno (Raspberry Pi 3/2, not tested) + ONE 9 volts battery + some small measurement instruments, fit in the Payload Bay, depending on how big "Payload Body Tubes" being used.
Fixed:
Version 1.2:
Remade Engine_Upper_Stop, to make it much stronger and more heat resistant than before.
Remade Fincan_Blank_Small, so it now has much better stability and durability
Added hooks for parachute line to the FH booster nosecones, so FH booster now are compatible with full parachute system.

Large Body Tube + Payload version
Medium Body Tube + Payload version
Small Body Tube + Payload version
Payload Adapter
Payload Coupler (Only needed in special cases)

Brief Instructions:
Step 1:
Select Components. You will need at least nosecone, body tube, fincan, and nosecone coupler. You can use multiple body tubes fincans to make a longer and more steady rocket if desired
Step 2:
Print parts. They printed with the perfect tightness on printer. You may need to sand some mating surfaces or add tape for the correct fit.
Step 3:
Screw nosecone to coupler. Glue if needed
Step4:
Tie the nosecone coupler to the fin can through the body tube with 3ft of non-flammable cord. Attach a parachute or streamer if desired (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED)
Step 5:
Insert Motor and add short drywall screw to the rear of the rocket for motor retention. You can also put tape on the rocket motor for a tight friction fit.
Or if you use a homemade rocket engine, Use an empty fincan with an Engine holder 32mm put directly on top of it (use adapters if needed). Then place body tubes between and when preferred put the engine stop to prevent it to shoot up through the rocket.
Step 6:
Fly safely and have fun! (Be sure that you are at a safe distance from houses and such things to prevent damaging others property or people).
