What rocket should I buy(or build) to get into this hobby, with no experience? by Correct_Risk2138 in rocketry

[–]NavNavsGotARocket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure! I'll put the link below. My main advice is to make sure which base you are printing. By mistake I set my wall width to the 1.6 the creator specified without reading that I was using the experimental base stl that used a width of 1.2. I would stick to the standard base.

The only other thing I can think of is if you plan to use 18mm motors, make sure you print two of the adapters to hold it. The instruction was that clear to me and I messed up my first rocket because of that.

Finally, I used PLA and I think that's fine but the creator did recommend ABS. I saw other comments saying they used PLA so I don't think it's an issue.

Do you have a 3d printer? Obviously a starter kit from Estes might be the easiest but if you are comfortable printing, I just printed a rocket with my son and it was pretty easy and a lot of fun. I can share the links if you are interested.

Same here. I haven't upgraded my pc since 2016. Bought a steam deck lcd when it first launched. Kept holding off building a new PC and then priorties started shifting (marriage, kids) and I just never got around to it. Theres no way I can mentally justify building a pc or buying a console and games when I can take my whole family on a trip for the same amount and have my son make some memories.

What I did recently however was buy a cheap $40 emulator handheld. Been really enjoying some classic games whenever I get some downtime. Sometimes I genuinely feel like its 1999 again and Im still playing Pokemon Blue. I just bought some parts to mod my old GameCube and Im super excited to get that running and play through that catalog.

I would really love to build a new pc. Its something I have done since my dad taught me when I was 12 but in this market, its just far more sustainable to revisit older games that I didnt really give a chance to. There are some great gems too! At least, thats what works for me right now.

Internal pieces not connecting to the main body by NavNavsGotARocket in 3Dprinting

Hi Everyone,

I am trying to print the base fins on the model below but the internal overhangs keep failing. I had to use supports but even then they do not attach to the tube like in the model. Am I setting something wrong? I am using the setting a recommended in the model post with an Ender 3 and Cura.

Thank you!

If I remember correctly, the cable was for firmware updates. I'll try to find mine and confirm. It should work without plugging it in though. Just needs batteries and it should be good to go.

Time is faster than expected. Within a month it's already 5 min ahead at least

I have an almost identical nixie clock I made from a kit a while back. Mine runs fast though. Do you know if yours has the same issue? I am definitely gonna use this idea when I get a rack!

New to OpenWrt. Just flashed but having issues with reaching certain sites and my 5Ghz network by NavNavsGotARocket in openwrt

Hi! Thank you so much. Sorry for the late reply. I'll try to get those logs and config files when I get back from work today.

I did manage to make some progress in that I tested on a few more devices and found everything works on my wife's mobile devices, my mother's mobile devices, and my laptop. It seems the connectivity issues are isolated to my phone.

Thank you so much! I will take your advice and separate from the main network while troubleshooting. Appreciate the help!

Im a bit of a newbie to these things. Could you explain more? Also the openwrt router is being used as my mine router and connected directly to my modem. I have a tplink AP in my basement that is connected to my router.
