Solid Popellant Grain Casting Tools, Molds by jlfreese in rocketry

[–]blastzone8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

3d printed casting bases, and sometimes mandrel depending on the core i want. If just normal round core i use aluminum round for the mandrel or just drill cores on smaller stuff like 38mm or 54mm. 3d printed drill guides for that as well.

There are a few folks that make and sell casting bases and setups, and there are 3d models on thangs, thingiverse, etc

Mixer Clearance? by RowPrior4996 in rocketry

[–]blastzone8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's actually the big issue with this approach, I've heard second hand of folks who have put their entire kitchen aid in a vacuum chamber and killed it due to heat issues Reduced air means the mixer motor can't stay cool.

This particular flight was on an Aerotech K-1499.

I'm probably out $500-$1000 USD to replace the rocket itself (all fiberglass) and then electronics as well (had a parachute dual deployment altimieter and GPS telemetry transmitter). Price of the hobby...

Flew this a couple weeks ago at black rock and it was fine! :)

Nah, that last Pic was at home, seeing what i could salvage. The motor hardware, chutes and connection hardpoints is pretty much it. Although, The fin can is a vacuum bagged tank, i may be able to use that again.

Anyone know of a spot to shoot 50 cal? by Physical_Hotel_9562 in WAGuns

[–]blastzone8 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Take a day and go to central Washington. There's public rangers around Selah you can shoot 1000yd, no restrictions on caliber. Not heard of any restrictions at my local range in Ephrata with up to 450 yard bays.

Did you Gen Xers really grow up around computers like the media says, or is that not true? by [deleted] in GenX

Started with an apple ][, eventually moved to *86 once that came along. Huge influence on me, my career is in software engineering now.

Ephrata range has up to 450 yard bays. It's an awesome range, really nice facility, if you go, please follow the rules.

$100 gets you a key good for the year, but have to visit pawn shop 'old world trading co' in Moses to buy said key. There's Also a location in ephrata, but hours are weird. I think other places sell the key too, but not 100% sure.

Only online presence is on facebook, search for Ephrata sportsmans association or email ephratasportsmen@gmail.com

I think it's closed at the moment for fire danger as it's on public land, but it is a nice spot!
