3D Print Your Own Stomp Rocket

$5.00

Learn how to create your very own "stomp" rockets. Follow the step-by-step instructions to design a basic rocket. Then modify the fins, the body or the nose cone to explore how each affects the rocket's flight. The rockets can be printed in two or 3 pieces to allow for quicker printing and easier modifications. They can also be personalized. For a simple launch use a basic stomp launcher, but for a more memorable experience put together a pressure launcher, such as the one found here.
