My first product/projects made on a Glowforge, which I’m loving! Wish I would have had a laser cutter years ago. I was always tired of those cheap $20 model rocket launchers that: 1) Do not look cool and 2) Rarely work. I also didn’t want to pay $500-$2000 for a wireless pro system that can launch 100 rockets at a time, that still doesn’t look cool. So I just had to make my own.
That one you remember is still the basic launch controller that is sold today. Only launches a few rockets before draining the AA batteries, and you’re lucky to get a few uses out of it before something it in sorts out. That’s why I had to make my own.
When I was a kid, I started out spending a lot of time building and then launching trying to make sure I could recover all the parts and launch again. After losing enough rockets. I revised my “space program” to make them cheap, put the largest motors that would fit and just let’em fly. I may have actually put a couple of the multi-stagers into orbit.
That is Ab Fab! You should definitely bring cards with your Etsy link when you go to use that thing because people will stop to ask “Where did you get that awesome box?”
…and maybe engrave a QR code into the bottom of the boxes you sell for the same reason!
