Inspired by Joel Telling, I decided to 3D Print the gCreate rocket! (Even though I have a Lulzbot Mini.) It turned out great the 3rd time, but the first and second time weren’t so great 😦 Both times one of the legs broke off of the model while it was bridging. So if you would like to print this model (found on Thingiverse here!) remember to add a LARGE raft! (Also try high cooling too). After that though, it turned out very nicely. I printed this in eSun’s Green HIPS filament.
