• No support needed
• Detailed launch tower/gantry
• Easy to print and assemble
• Grips the rocket in place to significantly reduce the odds of tipping over.

Multicolour Printing

It is possible to print the stand in colour like in the render by doing a filament change at about 11mm height (use your slicer’s tools to get a more precise measurement if needed).

In S3D, this can be accomplished by adding the following to the “Additional terminal commands” box of the scripts tab in FFF. This of course also works in Cura or other slicers.

{REPLACE “; layer” “M117 Layer”}

{REPLACE ” Z = ” ” Z=”}

{REPLACE “\nM117 Layer 110, Z=” “\nG1 X10 Y10 Z80 E-150\nM84 S0\nM84 E\nM300 S1000 P3000\nM0\nM104 S200\nG92 E0\nM117 Layer 110, Z=”}

*** Use Layer 110 in the third line if you are printing at 0.1mm, Layer 55 for 0.2mm, etc.
