Hi Lloyd -
This is really cool. That’s great that you decided to post this all online. I
just took a quick look at the STL file and it looks like you tried to design
the threads on the igniter. If you don’t mind me asking I was curious to see
how that worked out with (what appears to be) SLS printing. Did you still have
to re-tap the threads or were they sufficient on their own? I’ve been doing
most of my CAD designs in blender and haven’t yet found a good way to design
threads.
Good luck with the kickstarter and project!
Best,
Graham

Hi aRocket, you've been pretty quiet lately so I thought I would add something
to the mix. I've been working for the past couple months on an open source
liquid powered rocket , and I thought the list might be interested.
- 3d printedGOX / IPA igniter up and running
- All the igniter documentation (CAD / Arduino / P&ID) and some design codes
are on the website
- I'm doing a once a day Instagram (ProcectEarendel) for various rocket doodles
and project related picture
- And a Kickstarter to try to build a suborbital test vehicle.
Hope that you all find it interesting, after 10 years building rockets for
other people, it is fun to do my own thing that I can share.
Lloyd
