Default Rocketry Display and Work Stands

Three desktop stands that you can use to display you flying model rockets
  • 18mm Desktop Stand
  • 24mm Desktop Stand
  • 18mm Launch Ring Stand

The Launch Ring Stand is modeled on the Redstone launch mount. This is a two part stand, where the ring needs to be glued to the support posts of the base. This is the first version, and we plan a more detailed, 'scale-like' version later on.

We also have a "Y" Cradle for displaying a rocket horizontally or to use while working on the model.

The 3D print (stl) files are available on Thingiverse at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6398721

All of these stands were created in Tinkercad. Links to the CAD files are below

Those are really nice! For those who don't have a 3D printer, I'd like to recommend the new stands by Boyce Aerospace Hobbies. They are somewhat like the Estes stands, but have a lower CG and are very sturdy!

For example, 24mm: https://boyceaerospacehobbies.com/p...50e4dfac5&_ss=r

Thumbs up Home Made Rocket Stands

I turn display stands on my wood lathe for my scratch build fleet.

And for those who don't have a wood lathe, store bought racks for coats can also be used.
