Imagine, making spaceships with 3d printing technology

Yeah...........<Imagining>......... You know what I think I run the other direction if someone tells me I just won a free trip on the worlds first printed space ship wink

Make custom (legality differs in different parts of the world, USA is legal everywhere I believe) rocket engines per project. smile Sounds like something I might like if Solidoodle sends out my new (hopefully straight) Z-Rod soon enough. I experimented in rocket candy engines a lot. The correct formula & dimensions can make a great, slow burning, high pressure engine.

I saw this in person it was pretty cool but since he was using a replicator he wont be able to print in anything but PLA. My goal once i got my printer set up is design and test rocket motors with printed designs so i could make custom av bays and cluster fincans for cheap. So I could start using these rockets with H or I motors is my first goal after finding a working design


PLA certainly is going to have its limitations when dealing with extreme heat. I think ABS motor mounts and fins would work fairly well for model rocketry.

After having worked with the taulman 618 nylon for a few weeks this would definitely be my choice of plastic for a rocket.


Cool project though.

"They launched this 3D-printed rocket at NASA Ames on Saturday with the LUNAR group.  She flew straight as an arrow on an Aerotech E15 motor."
