Using an open source 2L bottle model, I designed an interlocking nose cone assembly and fins for the Aerospace Vehicle Design Rocket Lab. The main portion of the nose cone assembly was printed in PLA while the tip was printed in TPU to add some shock absorption capabilities. Both were printed on Prusa MK4S printers. The fin design was exported to be laser cut on an Epilog Mini to form an acrylic template that we utilized to cut out the foam fins for our design. The nose cone utilized the natural curve of the bottle to keep it from sliding off and had embedded interlocking clips to allow the cone to split in half to take off the bottle.
This was a simple enclosure for an air quality sensor. The goal was to create an enclosure that allowed for the sensor to connect to a provided tripod mount while maintaining the openings required for sensor function. This model utilizes interlocking snaps on all four sides for a two piece enclosure such that the bottom portion could remain attached to the tripod and the sensor could be removed easily.
