This new 3D printable rocket uses one of our squishy foam nose cones and can be printed in one piece!

As 3D printer accuracy slightly varies, if the rocket won't fit onto the launch tube, you can scale up the entire rocket (or at least the X&Y dimensions) 1% to make it slightly larger in diameter.  Also, conversely, if it is too loose on the launch tube, you can scale it down by a tiny fraction as well.

Similarly, if your 3D printer is restricted in height to less than 250mm, use the scaling feature in your slicing software to scale ONLY the Z axis so the diameter stays the same, but the rocket is shortened to suit your printer.

One of our customers, Cal Leggett, has had fun designing and 3D printing all kinds of cool rockets and  accessories. 

• I especially like the "Booster Rockets" that carries other toys skyward.

• The 3D printable arms to hold the ARG wings before launch are more elegant that the bent wire version we have used over the years. 

• The glow stick rockets are especially fun at dusk.

You can find these cool designs here:

This is a fully 3D printable protractor attachment for the Compressed Air Rocket Launcher v2.2 (older model with the wooden base).  There are only three parts to print, and no tools or fasteners are needed for assembly.

We would like to thank James Montagna, one of our customers who is a STEM Teacher in Farmington, CT.  James had sent us pictures and files of a laser cut protractor he had built and assembled to a CAR v2.2 launcher.  It inspired us to complete this design we had started months eariler.  It’s perfect for setting a launching angle and learning about ballistic trajectories.

It's easily added to our v2.2 launcher as shown in the assembly video on the left.

If you don't have access to a 3D printer, we are also selling these attachments in our shop tab here.

We’re starting out simple with our 3D printable rocket adapters.  This 1 piece model is easy to 3D print vertically without support.  The bottom of it is super glued into the top of a plastic body tube.  A standard foam nose is friction fit (no glue needed) into the top of the adapter.  Apply a set of sticker fins, or a set of your own custom fins.  Next, find a lego minifig you want to launch!

Note, the bottom of the foam nose is intended to just touch the top of the head of the figure – helps keep it in place on "reentry".  The minifig may still pop out on landing, so you may not want to use your favorite minifig in this rocket…

Here’s the next 3D printable rocket adapter, perfect for the time of year when it gets dark early, at least around here…  This adapter and LED bending guide is easy to 3D print without any supports, and installs between the end of the rocket body tube and the foam nose.  Simply print one of each part in PLA or ABS material, follow the instructions at the links below, and you can go launching at dusk and even after dark.

If some of you don’t have access to a 3D printer, let me know and we may offer these in our online store as kits.

Feel free to e-mail us any questions, or even better, some pictures if you make them.

5. Use a sharpie to highlight the text if desired.  Attach a bike pump, and you are Ready To Launch!
