3D Printed Rockets

Electronicity

I modelled RocketLab's Electron rocket this past week. I went back over a lot of publicly accessible google photos and RocketLabs own press releases and web site documentation. This first version is a one piece, glued together, nice looking rocket. I modelled the Rutherford engine from several photos. Printing them at 1/34 ratio proved to be a real pain as the engine bay was so fragile I ended up snapping/breaking a couple of engines accidentally on the first 3 prints (3x18hours = Sad face * 3)

Anyway, I now have the 3D models, and some experience with the fragile printed engines and so I present:

RocketLabs Electron!
