3D model description

All of these rockets have been designed to work with the compressed air rocket launcher available from https://www.airrocketworks.com (ARW). This launcher is so much fun even with the paper rockets and Compressed Air Rocket Bounce Kit (CARB) available from the website, but these printable rockets add even more!

I’ve been slicing and printing these using Cura. Make sure to check ‘Print Thin Lines’, as this prints as only a single wall for the rocket body. A test print is provided for you to use to check your print settings, if it is too loose or tight on the launch tube try scaling the print up or down on the X and Y axis to get a good fit.

Launcher Series
Single, Double, and Triple launcher rockets
• Available as completely printable with an integrated nose cone, printable for use with the foam nose cone from ARW or the Nose Cone file printed in TPU
• Great for launching anything with a hook:
o Folding Wing Glider designed by Rick Schertle at ARW:
https://makezine.com/projects/folding-wing-glider-rockets-up-glides-down/
 You’ll have to build this glider out of balsa, but it’s worth it!
 Fun fact, the mechanism for this glider was originally designed in 1939 by Jim Walker and was sold as the Interceptor. Check out more info on this and other creations by Jim Walker at: http://www.americanjuniorclassics.com/
o Air Rocket Glider, available as a kit from ARW...this thing is awesome, you should get one!
o Rocket Copter toys
o Paper Airplanes with a rubber band hook: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5166592
o And anything else that is light and has a hook!

Glow Stick Series
Keep the fun going after dark! These rockets hold 3 standard 8” glow stick bracelets.
• Available as fully printed, for foam or TPU nose cone, or as attachments that can be superglued to the CARB rockets from ARW

Simple Series
Tall and short rockets available in both completely printed with nose cone and for foam or TPU nose cones

Nerf Rival Ball Launcher (no pictures yet)
Launch Nerf Rival Balls or similar with this accessory.
• Requires a short length of PVC pipe (2-3”) and a slip x ½” male thread coupler. Glue the pipe into the coupler and then use superglue to glue the pipe into the base of the printed launcher. Replace the launch tube on the ARW launcher with this assembly and start launching some Nerf Rival balls. Try loading several into the tube!

Accessories
“Test Print”
• Print this first to test your print settings and fit on the launch tube
“Nose Cone”
• Print this with TPU to take the place of the foam nose cones available from ARW
"ARW CARB Fins"
• Printable fins to glue onto the ARW CARB rocket tubes
"Nose Cone Insert - CARB"
• Superglue this into your ARW CARB rocket tube to make nose cones replaceable and interchangeable
“Glider Wing Holder”
• Print this and add two 7” lengths of 1/8” dowel or acrylic rods to use for holding the wings of the Folding Wing Glider or the ARW Air Rocket Glider kit available on their website.

I’ll also be adding more designs when possible so watch for updates.
