    what ?
    I've seen all the bits you've made for your various printers, I'd say your design skills are better than mine.

    I've actually got a rocket model i did as part of an openscad demo/tutorial that even has offset fins to add a stabilising spin in flight.

    I can resize and modify that, no problem.

    Or bung the link to the stl you're using and I can have a go at modifying that as well :-)

    Traditionally model rockets tops pops off and they drift gentl;y to earth on a parachute.

    I'm assuming we're just going to go for a full crash and burn approach to landing.
    ;-)

    Guide rod needs to be.
    Needs to be at least as tall as the rocket - preferable a little taller, also needs to be anchored.
    Maybe 4-5mm steel rod a metre long should do it.
    You can bang a foot or so into the ground.

    Last thing we want is the rocket to go off sideways and take someone out.

    With the angled fins, it ought to land nose first and shatter :-)
    Or maybe not, pla is tough stuff.
