A month on, I’m still pleased with my decision to get a 3D printer.

This coming weekend, the rocketry club I’m a member of will host a launch just south of San José, and several people new to the hobby want to attend but won’t have the kits they’ve ordered built or delivered in time.

I can have a batch of rockets ready for people new to the hobby in a little longer than it takes to print them (22 hours.)

I mentioned this model in a previous post and did a test print last month.

I’ll get them set up with recovery harnesses and streamers so all people need to do is slip on the body tube, load a motor, pack the recovery train, and put it on the launcher.

This little bit of just-in-time fabrication is great to have at hand.
