Description

This is a rocket for use with Make Magazine's Air Rocket Launcher (http://makezine.com/projects/make-compressed-air-rockets-kit/).  This launcher is intended for use with a paper rocket, but you can use this template to create a more durable rocket capable of being launched to the same height (~60m or 200 ft).

The rocket template is parametric so you can change the design very easily.

List of parameters:

//Body Parameters
height=90;
insideDiameter=22.9;
outsideDiameter=24.9;

//Cone Parameters
coneHeight=30;
conePaddingHeight=10;

//Fin Parameters
finWidth=3;
finHeight=25;
finDepth=20;
finOutsideHeight=10;
numberOfFins=3;

Materials and methods

- About 12 grams of filament (depends on parameters)
