The time has come! The official Cameron Makes Rockets Discord Server is here! The goal is to have it be a public journal for my projects, as well as way for members of the rocket community to share their own work and get help as needed! discord.gg/Y6j9uDDr
How much does that 3D printed engine mount weigh compared to the standard motor mounts? How light can you make it? Also, the addition of metal screws is going to make the tail section even heavier. Be sure the rockets Center of Gravity (CG) is ahead of the Center of Pressure (CP), or your rocket will not fly straight up. Note that when you go with an E motor vs. the C motor, you are going to move the CG even further back, which could cause an unstable flight.
This version of the motor mount is pretty heavy. I have played around with making the mount look like honeycomb to make it more light weight, but a standard cardboard mount is the probably the way to go! (This gives me an idea...)
Good design but as you said a E class motor should do the trick and a C motor has a max weight lift of 120-130grams better luck next time. Soon I'll post my progress on a reusable lightweight rocket.
@@CameronMakesRockets Here's my v2 rocket which should be reusable, Will definitely post the launch footage once I print it! Can't wait to see your design updates!ruclips.net/video/wozb8mmh2nU/видео.html

I have a few design updates in the pipeline that I am excited to post very soon!
