This is my first attempt at a Bambu Studio complete “project”. The model was colored, then disassembled to fit on multiple plates. You can reassemble the rocket in the software to see where everything goes.
It's been cut to fit onto 3 plates. You may be able to reduce it to two plates, but I didn't want to risk it.
If you own a Bambu printer, just download the main 3mf file, and it's already optimized for the Bambu with at least 1 AMS.
I used 4 colors; Red, White, Black, and Grey.
I'm also uploading the STLs if someone wants to print them on something other than a Bambu printer, put the model together, then paint it (or not!). I'm not including any g-code because the sliced file would be specific to AMS slots I had placed the different colored filaments. You will likely need to modify that. and reslice the models.
Each layer may have multiple color changes - I didn't optimize this to reduce time or waste.
I generally didn't use supports except for the fins and the nosecone.
The fins REQUIRE supports, and the project includes painted-on supports, so ensure when you print the plate with the 3 fins you have enabled supports.
After printing the first two plates (nosecone, base, and mid-section) I used a 38mm fiberglass airframe through the middle of the base to the midsection, and use epoxy to glue them together. I then cut the excess fiberglass airframe off the top.
I glued a 38mm fiberglass coupler into the nose, which extends out about 4 inches to act as a coupler. I added an AV bay to the nosecone coupler for electronics, but that's my own preference.
I will be adding to this as it's built and optimized. I'm hoping to launch this in the spring.
The nose will require additional weight to keep the center of pressure (CG) in front of the center of pressure (CP) for flight stability.
