WRLS (Water Rocket Launch System)
Description
So, I heard NASA is looking for contractors to take Things to space, so why not print your own rocket launch system! <iframe width="932" height="524" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/g3ogZNF4Pyw" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe> For more rocketry, check the whole collection <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/Superbeasti/collections/wrls-water-rocket-launch-system">here</a> This thing is a water rocket, which can be fully 3D printed using using the 19x2mm TPU seal and the Inlet_Metric, or use store bought O-rings, sizes below: Inlet_Metric O-ring 19mm (inner diameter) 2mm cross section Inlet_Imperial O-Ring 3/4" (inner diameter) 1/16" cross section To adjust the release tightness, you can scale the printable O-ring or the pin, as pictured in the gallery. There's two options for fixing the launcher in place: Mount_Heavy_Duty is fixed directly to something solid (wood etc.) Mount and Leg_Peg for removable use, to ground or sand. Assembly instructions below. All parts should be printed with 100% infill and with 0.2 layer height for optimal clearance between parts. 1 Print all parts and get the hardware if you decide to use the actual valves and O-Rings 2 Insert the O-Ring to the Inlet 3 Glue the Bottle Adapter to an empty bottle, or print a rocket 4 Attach a cord to the Pin and connect the pump to the Inlet 5 Fill the rocket with water, and combine it with the Inlet and insert the Pin over them 6 Insert the assembly to the Mount, which should be secured in place 7 Pump to desired pressure 8 Launch by pulling the Pin 9 Houston we have lift off! 13 Houston, we have a problem Remember, this uses high pressures, so adult supervision and common sense is a must. The maximum pressure tested so far has been 10 bar (145psi) with the PVC Rocket Toss a like, post a make and maybe follow <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/Superbeasti/designs">me</a> over at the IG's https://www.instagram.com/superbeasti/
