3D model description

I decided there wasn't enough love for 13mm 3D printed rockets so now we have the NLT! cuz 13mm's need love too!

Designed to fly on 1/2A to A10 13mm rocket motors. My test print weights 1.38oz without motor.

Has been test flown twice so far on 1/2A motors in my back yard. Probably around 70ft high, no chute needed on grass. Should be about 175ft on an A10.

This design includes a motor retainer which snaps into place with a 60Β° rotation!

Print with 0.8mm walls and 25% infill for everything, no supports anywhere!

Body tube is 32mm and overall length with retainer is 182.6mm. a #4-40 screw will thread into the plastic to hold the nosecone to the coupler.

Tip- leave the motor in until it has cooled down. First flight I pulled the motor right out and the tube warped a little. I heated it up a touch with a heat gun and the motor went right in then cooled back round. 2nd flight I left the motor in and it was fine when it cooled.

8/3/19- update- reduced logo height to improve printing quality.
9/19/19- update- improved the motor tube design to reduce heat transfer. also made some improvements to the coupler and retainer.

There is now an 18mm version here! https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3870711
