Well, I used the nose cone from it, but the rest of the parts I wasn&#8217;t happy with, so I used my own and created waterslide decals instead of the paper peel and stick that came with it. I used half round plastruct for the tank tubes and plywood for the fins. The rocket has been a well flown favorite, and as it was assembled with epoxy has been a tank, even surviving some CATOs with no damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I decided it needed a big brother, the Saturn V. After getting the scale data for a Saturn V, I first created a similar 3D printed version of the 1B nose cone printed with 100% fill for weight that would fit in a Centuri\/Semroc ST-7 tube, but then I decided to just make the whole top portion the nose cone and 3D printed. I did a 50% fill so the nose would have ample weight for stability. I sized it to fit an ST-10 Centuri\/Semroc tube. For the fins and fairings I resized Scottdee&#8217;s BT-80 version to 40% and attached them with epoxy.\u00a0\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thingiverse.com\/thing:2941984\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.thingiverse.com\/thing:2941984<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m fighting a little tuning on the print for the nose, I&#8217;m getting some undesirable layer banding, not going to reprint, a little sandable primer will resolve it. I&#8217;m going to create a body wrap for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It currently weighs 37 grams (1.3 ounces) without a motor mount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.timorley.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/SaturnVFunSize-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-839\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.timorley.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/SaturnVFunSize-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.timorley.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/SaturnVFunSize-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.timorley.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/SaturnVFunSize.jpg 896w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Years ago I built a Boyce 1:396 Saturn 1B.
