Our first 3D printed rocket flew three times but our home-made parachute failed to open on all flights due to poor design.
It works with Estes C engines and we will come back to add weight and size details in the next couple of days.
Will also upload clip to YouTube and hopefully Instructables.

Building instructions are super simple;
1 – Print
2 – Glue rings inside body parts
3 – Make or reuse parachute
4 – Smooth engine compartment if needed
5 – Blast off and hopefully you will enjoy this as much as we did
Reprinting the rocket now for a new flight this weekend.
Looking forward to seeing your future builds!
Ad Astra!!!
