About this 3D model

These are fun rockets with boosters that extend on take-off. I designed two sizes and each contain two parts: the main rocket body and the boosters. The larger rocket has four small boosters and the smaller rocket has one large booster. These make great little gifts or party favors ? Layer Height 0.2mm PLA works great 15-20% Infill Supports needed for the area around the boosters on the Large Rocket Dimensions of Large Rocket: 4in x 2 3/8in Dimensions of Small Rocket: 3 1/4in x 1 7/8in There are two ways you can print these rockets (I included both in their print profiles): Print the complete rocket: this prints great but if you want multi-color for the boosters (and/or fins) it’s going to take some time (I found 8-10hrs) Print the boosters first, print the rocket second pausing at layer height 15.6mm for the large rocket and 30.6mm for the small rocket , drop the boosters in and then continue printing. This method is much faster:) In the print profile for the small rocket I included the complete rocket to print on plate #1. On plates #2 & #3 I separated the rocket from the boosters, so they can be printed separately (make sure to print the boosters first:) In the print profile for the larger rocket I included the complete rocket to print on plate #1. On plates #2 & #3 I separated the rocket from the 4 sets of small boosters so they can be printed separately (again make sure to print the boosters first:) Note: supports are needed for the larger rocket at the base around the rings for the boosters. I have included those supports in my print profile. (Also note if you are printing plate #3, I did not include supports in the booster chambers so that they are clear to drop the boosters in:) My designs are free for personal and non-commercial use. If you would like to sell them for commercial use, send me a message and we can discuss the details:) If you like my work and want to help support it, you can buy me a Diet Coke at https://www.buymeacoffee.com/3dpmom Thanks so much! Have fun printing these…they’re a blast ?
