Summary

Rocket with interchangeable fins. I got tired of breaking off fins, and having to reprint an entirely new rocket. With the new design, the fins can be printed flat on the print surface in layers.

Ring and false fins are here for printing stability only.

Remove the ring and false fins from the body of the rocket. Use flush cutters to cut off the ring, and a razer to score the false fin at the body of the rocket. Then snap the false fin off. Slide printed fins into the slots at the base of the rocket body. If they don't work, use and emery board to gently sand the slot until you get a good fit. Folded sandpaper can also be used.

The tube from dustoff brand canned air will fit perfectly. Other brands may have too large of a tube.

Use compressed air and water to fly. Dustoff air duster works very well.

Inject water, and then air to fly. Hold can slightly inverted, and squeeze trigger quickly.
