Launch pad for model rockets.

Designed for my modular rocket project www.thingiverse.com/thing:3583502 but will work with other Estes or sugar powered rockets which require a guide rod for stability.

It is best printed with the 10 inch (250mm) leg for better stability on rough ground however the 6 3/4 inch (175mm) leg is provided in case the longer legs will not fit diagonally on your printer bed.

Print 1 x launch pad, 3 x leg and 3 x screw.
The launch pad and the screws should be printed with a 0.2mm layer height or less in order to ensure that the screw threads are well defined.
Print the 3 screws together as one job without any other components to ensure good adhesion of the layers.
The legs may be printed in draft mode with layer height of 0.25mm or higher.\nThe optional blast deflector plate may be printed in a higher melting point plastic such as ABS so that it will last longer however I have tested it printed in PLA and there does not seem to be any melting. Alternatively use a metal lid from a tin, punch a hole in the center so that you can fix it onto the launch pad with a small screw.
\n
Assemble the launch pad and fit a wire rod at least 2 feet (600mm) long. There are 4 holes provided which will accept a 2mm, 2.5mm, 3mm or 3.5mm diameter rod (a wire coat-hanger straightened out is suitable).
