Description

Break action rocket launcher that shoots rockets propelled by co2 cartridges. Rockets are held in reusable shells and upon firing, they deploy stabilization fins thanks to rubber bands.

The rockets use 12g co2 cartridges which are often used for airsoft. That makes them quite affordable and available in any airsoft store.
Launcher features picatinny rails on top and bottom of the barrel, making it possible to mount accessories like scope or laser.

For more information and assembly guide see assembly.pdf in files.

In the files section you can find honing tool. This is not needed but can be used to smoothen the inside of the barrel. Simply glue sandpaper to it and insert 8mm tube into the center. Mount it onto a drill and use it to smoothen the barrel.

UPDATE: Added shorter 167mm barrel so it can be printed on prusa mini or A1 mini.

Thanks to @Ice_Maniac, who found the correct set of springs and clamps on amazon:

What a fantastic model! The engineering is really fantastic! I printed this over the course of a couple days, ordered all the hardware (bolts) from a local engineering supplies place, the clamps for the hammer spring are readily available on Amazon - the trigger, barrel catch and firing pin springs are all available from Amazon for a few quid for 10. I wish I could design something like this, it’s a true example of what these printers, and someone who is good with CAD software are capable of. The operation is very smooth and well thought out.

Could you make a version smaller than 180 mm to fit the A1 mini and Prusa mini?

I added 167mm barrel. The picatinny rails aren't ideal. I will get back to fixing them someday.

Are the fins angled so there is an rotational force stabilizing the Rocket?

No. Wanted to try that but I never got the time to model the angled fins. That's why I also added .step files for the rockets, so that others can try to model better rockets.

I have downloaded the raw files several time thinking I possible missed something, but I can't find the assembly files. i have the 167,190,240mm barrel folders, the body, casting, rocket folders and the honing file. Can you add it separate?

Makerworld separates the assembly file into 'documentation' part of the model description. Check the description and on the bottom you will find assembly.pdf file.
