Small transition test.
Altimeter housing test.
Camera housing test.
All motor mount test prints
Test print on the top of the motor mount
It was used to test the tolerance of the motor mount cap
The first 3 test prints of the caps wouldn't twist onto the motor mount, so i printed half a cap to see what was going wrong
The first test print of the motor mount had its walls to thin near the top, so the top broke off
After the first launch, the motor expanded inside the combined motor mount. When the motor was removed form the motor mount, the cap stuck to the motor. In trying to get the cap off, it broke.

Spray Painting
A white primer is used to prepare the tubes while a black primer is used on the other items.
IMG_7092.MOVThe fins are painted black initially to allow the gold spray paint to stand out more.
IMG_7095.MOVTest for the actual design on the fins.
IMG_7096.MOVRA² are the initials of our group (Ren, Ashley, and Alyssa) so we decided to put it on one of the fins on our rocket.
