Link to Version 2 of this Rocket: Starship Style Model Rocket v2

This is a printable Starship model rocket designed for use with Estes 1/8" rod launch pads, and Estes C6-3 motors. This rocket is a single stage version of Starship, the motor is loaded into the Booster and Starship acts as the nose cone. To help improve flight stability the fins have been modified from the original Starship design and the nose cone was printed with 65% rectilinear infill with a target weight of 30g-35g. Next I plan on trying a two stage version.

Print Settings: Print with ABS or ASA plastic. PLA works but it can deform due to the heat.

Nose Cone: 0.3mm layer height, 3 perimeter walls, seam position rear, 65% infill.

Starship Body: 0.3mm layer height, 2 perimeter walls, seam position rear, brim, 0% infill.

Upper Tube: 0.3mm layer height, 2 perimeter walls, seam position rear, brim, 0% infill.

Booster Base: 0.3mm layer height, 3 perimeter walls, seam position rear, brim, 0% infill.

Motor Cap: 0.2mm layer height, 3 perimeter walls, seam position rear, 0% infill.

Assembly: Test the fitment before gluing any parts. Line up seams when assembling. Use glue to assemble the booster base with the booster ring and then glue the booster tube to the booster base. Next attach a 24" shock cord to the booster tube mount. I like to use a slip knot. Next glue the starship nose to the starship body. Next you can attach the parachute to the bottom of the starship body and then add the shock cord with a double knot. When you are ready to launch; place recovery wadding in the rocket first, next pack the shock cord, and then fold and pack the parachute and install starship to the booster. For extra protection I like to wrap the folded parachute with a piece of recovery wadding. Add the motor at the launch site, the motor cap is a simple twist and lock engagement.
