Summary
This is a small rocket that uses the ESTES A8-3 model rocket engine. The rocket body itself (without the engine) weighs around 20g (dependent on settings). Just print the rocket, put a small amount of glue (not super glue) on one side of the rocket engine and insert the engine into the rocket shell with the glue side facing the logo (logo intended to offset the weight of the glue). There isn't a parachute system so the parachute ejection charge instead ejects the engine (this is why you shouldn't use super glue or anything too strong) so the rocket body can be used again (do not reuse if there is any damage to the rocket body after initial launch).
DO NOT RELAUNCH IF THERE IS ANY DAMAGES TO THE ROCKET AFTER INITIAL LAUNCH OR IF THE PRINT ISN'T STRONG AND STURDY, MAY RESULT IN INJURY!!!
FOLLOW ALL LOCAL LAWS AND REGULATIONS REGARDING MODEL ROCKET LAUNCHES!!!
DO NOT LAUNCH WITHIN 100 METERS OF A BUILDING OR STRUCTURE!!!
ONLY LAUNCH OFF OF FLAT, LEVEL, NON-FLAMMABLE SURFACES!!!
ONLY USE APPRORIATE LAUNCH CONTROLLERS AND STAND AS FAR AWAY AS POSSIBLE DURING LAUNCH!!!
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGES OR INJURIES!!!

Filament material:
PLA
Notes:
USE A STRONG FILAMENT AND TRY TO MAKE THE ROCKET AS STRONG AS POSSIBLE! I used octet infill at 35% because it offers a lot of structural support from both compression and tension in all directions. Try to use a thicker wall maybe a 1.0mm with more lines/passes (2-3 wall passes is enough).
IF THERE ARE ANY DAMAGES TO THE ROCKET DO NOT REUSE!!!
Post-Printing
Just print the rocket, put a small amount of glue (not super glue) on one side of the rocket engine and insert the engine into the rocket shell with the glue side facing the logo (logo intended to offset the weight of the glue). There isn't a parachute system so the parachute ejection charge instead ejects the engine so the rocket body can be used again (do not reuse if there is any damage to the rocket body after initial launch).
