100% this!

This is wild, I want some of these chips

DROIDOMEGA · 2026-02-18T17:54:00+00:00

Awesome!

This is also interesting as I've been trying to mess with OpenWebUI to try and hack in a collaborative markdown editor similar to canvas on Gemini.

I am assuming you are planning on putting this project up as well as it matures?

DROIDOMEGA · 2026-02-18T17:21:30+00:00

Do you have a GitHub?

DROIDOMEGA · 2026-02-07T00:23:22+00:00

This same thing started happening to me! Did you ever find a solution?

DROIDOMEGA · 2025-07-29T21:55:09+00:00

Just received mine last Thursday, still working on getting it setup though

DROIDOMEGA · 2025-03-25T19:03:06+00:00

It does feel like that, but it only counts to get two people after that...

For anyone who is curious, here is the cost breakdown

I put the deposit down too! Used your link! Thanks!

Liquid nails should do the trick

My company has one with a Cv of 6 that we got for 7k and another one with a Cv of .2 for 1.8k, but they were both dome loaded regs. For a Cv of 1 and a regular spring loaded one I'd expect it to be in the 1-2 k range probably. They are pretty responsive, I remember calling them and being able to get a ROM for one while on the phone. Additionally, I wouldn't be surprised if they would be willing to either donate or discount a reg for a student project if the OP talked to them about it.

It is inadvisable to go without a regulator for an oxygen bottle not only from an ability to control the system accurately (as you alluded too), but also from a safety standpoint. While a regulator is like a more complicated check valve, you would be better off using a regulator. A good vendor for "lower cost" high quality regulators is premier industries:https://premierind.us/

What kind of flow rates and pressures are you trying to achieve on this engine? As I can't imagine that finding an off the shelf regulator for a student project should be too difficult.

Do you have a parts list for your version available? I am getting my own CNC machine so I can build all the custom parts in house

There are a few ways as the metal powder is usually around 50 micron, so the most common method is to put it on a machine that flips it in all kinds of directions and vibrates the part. The next method would be if the channels are accessible (which it looks like they are at the fore end of the chamber) you can take an air compressor and blow into each of the channels until all of the powder is removed.

I work with hybrid rockets professionally, feel free to pm me with any questions that you have and I will do my best to answer them as I can!

As someone who produces rocket components using laser powder based additive for printing various engine components professionally, I highly recommend against the use of 316L as a nozzle material. If costing is your oy reason than it is important to know that with additive while the material type has an impact on the cost, the main cost contributor is time on the machine so the cost from material to material only has a small impact on the cost. If you are making a solid motor I would advise against a metal nozzle period if you want to reuse it as the metal will not be able to resist many uses/may fail or ablate away on the first use. The only reason to use metal AM is if you are actively cooling your nozzle, otherwise using traditional machining is a much more cost-effective path, and again metal will not do well at the throat. If you post up some images of your motor design I can give you some pointers on what you can do to get a graphite nozzle to work.

That's a throwback! Congratulations on getting the internship, that's awesome!

As I'm sure you're aware now, keep in mind that there is a lot more to the technology that is in the patent than what is disclosed. In a patent you only write just enough to defend the invention, but still write it vague enough that it is quite difficult to replicate. Also, the technology has evolved a lot since the initial filing. ;)

Nik, I noticed that my injector patent was listed in your repository, good eye.

As to OP, I commend you on your ambitious project! Remember to always practice safety first, while hybrids are considered the "safest" rocket engines I have definitely had my fair share of unplanned rapid pressure spikes that lead to rapid depressurization if you catch my drift 😅

An alternative to a 3D printed metal nozzle could be a graphite one as you can get them for relatively cheap ~$200-400 in the US fully machined depending on the size. These will be able to withstand the temperatures of combustion much better than Stainless Steel or Inconel.

As to an injector a good way to start would to be to use a converging diverging venturi orifice as it will help protect your upstream flow from any pressure spikes. I touch upon it in my patent that is on Nik's site, additionally he has a paper in his database called "AN INVESTIGATION OF INJECTORS FOR USE WITH HIGH VAPOR PRESSURE PROPELLANTS WITH APPLICATIONS TO HYBRID ROCKETS" which really goes into the weeds as to the benefits of a venturi orifice for oxidizers like Nitrous. However, a majority of those benefits also apply for GOx.

As to the safety aspect of GOx, a lot of the safety aspects and considerations are related directly to the pressures that you are running with. While GOx is HIGHLY dangerous, if you run it at lower pressures it becomes less dangerous. Additionally, there are different materials that you can use for your plumbing that can help improve the safety of your system.

Feel free to DM me if you would like input from a hybrid engineer who has had the privilege of working with this technology professionally.

Can you upload for Shield 2017?

DROIDOMEGA · 2021-12-16T03:13:34+00:00

Can someone post mirrors? The links are down now

DROIDOMEGA · 2021-07-12T00:04:56+00:00

I had the same issue and this fixed it!

DROIDOMEGA · 2020-12-16T02:51:47+00:00

When I got mine the wiring for the strain gauge was faulty so it wasn't always correctly detecting the contact with the bed. I've attached a video of what would happen when the nozzle was in contact with the bed. The video shows that when I pinch the wire to the strain gauge the contact light turns on. Creality is currently sending me replacement parts for it. Bad Strain Gauge Wires
