This is a simple, cheap and flexible modular model rocket design in OpenSCAD.
Using Customizer you can:
* Select a rocket size (e.g. mini, standard, C)
* Choose how many fins and what size
* Vary the height of the various sections (finCan, body, nose cone, etc)
* Alter the type of nose cone
* Add an optional, payload section
* Set your guide rod size
* Tweak the tolerances for your printer
Make sure to customize and export the various parts, then get printing.
The rockets are fairly durable, even without a recovery system, but the heat from the rocket engines mean the finCan will only last a few flights (if using PLA). Nonetheless, this is a very fast/cheap way to play with different model rocket designs and great fun with kids - especially as they can design their own rockets.
I'd recommend tweaking the Perimeter value to generate 2 perimeters in your slicer (probably around 1mm) - one perimeter just melts too quickly.
