Rocket Jar - multi-part assembly

Hey there, wonderful people!

It's a rocket!  It's also a container, but you don't really *have* to put anything inside it.  Other than astronauts, obviously.  The lid attaches firmly via a screw thread, so it won't go falling off if the rocket has to go zooming around.

This retro-looking piece of rocketry is printed in separate pieces then joined together using threaded parts.

Specifically:

* Each thruster has a nose cone that is attached via a little threaded rod that screws into both the nose cone and the thruster.

* The rocket body slots into the thruster body, and then the lower ring threads on to hold things together.  Note that the rocket body and thruster body will only go together at a particular orientation that centres the porthole between two thrusters.

* The porthole ring sits on the rocket body, then the porthole glass screws over the top and holds the ring in place.

Print Description

This is an assembly of regular-mode parts.  Nothing too tricky, but you'll want to make sure that the threads and other joining parts are nice and neat so they do actually fit together well.

Print Dimensions

The main rocket body is the largest part, and is 81mm x 84mm on the print bed, and 116mm tall.

Supports Needed?

Not at all!  Designed for straightforward printing!

Scalability

While not really intended for scalability, this should tolerate it reasonably well, especially if you're clever with your slicer settings and can compensate for the scaling of tolerances between parts of the assembly.

Print Orientation

Everything except the thrusters prints right-way up, like so:

Further Thoughts

This one was prompted by a question in the Clockspring 3D discord, which said something like "is there a rocket box?"  It was a good question, and I decided to make the answer 'yes' :)

Happy printing!
