With the rockets so cheap, remove the parachute system and have it simply crash to Earth. Being disposable, you can reduce mass, complexity, and increase the flight height.

Just a warning: It is recommended to not use fuses. This is because the sparks can easily jump, and ignite the motor before you remove your hand. Should an event occur like the launch stand tipping over, you also can't stop the launch. For these size rockets, I'm not too concerned, but just something to keep in mind! Other than that, nice project!

I normally use e-matches on larger rockets, this had a small motor so I deemed it safe. Thanks for the tip otherwise!

@@COSMOSIS245 Cool! Just beware rockets get lethal much faster than you would think. The tiny Estes rockets with the C6 motors have gone through the roof of a car!

Clickbait title, the 3d printer (lol) filament is a few cents a gram.. plus rocket motor, fun looking project though.

Forgot about the filament pricing 🙃, but I built those motors with sugar and fertilizer.

Did you even sand the fins? This affects aerodynamics way more that you might think at the first glance. And the fin looks very thick for what stabilizing surface area it provides, ig to make mounting easier. That creates a ton of drag and when combined with roughness of surfaces could dis-stabilize the vessel.

I usually sand my fins, but I couldn't use balsa so I had to 3d print. The infill was so low I might have just sanded right through the fins. Thanks for the tip though
