Don’t tell the haters but the work load they said would be too hard is starting to get hard

more rockets!
Howdy!
Last semester a small team and I built and hotfired the regen shown here. This semester we're flying an iteration of this engine.
We've gotten generous donations from @sendcutsend and members on the project already - if anyone else can contribute, it would be helpful!

Throughout university, I feel like I've had few people to look up to in key subjects.
Very little mentorship and a shocking lack of knowledge transfer until recently.
We will change this for the youths. We must be the first.

They should study the detrimental mental effects of students returning to using Solidworks at school after internships with NX.

reasons you should avoid 80/20 and grow up and just learn CAD instead:
- its modulus of elasticity is a third of steel’s, which means you need three times as much to get the same stiffness. this means it isn’t actually lighter in most cases. point 1 for why it’s flimsy
- it’s open cross section. this seriously reduces torsional stiffness and strength. point 2 for flimsy
- there are very bad joint options designers can pick and won’t realize without some secondary analysis (which is annoying to do)
- it’s expensive. especially for what it is
- once you cut it to size, you’re stuck with a piece that size, so it isn’t really reusable
use unistrut (sorry that it doesn’t look cool), learn to weld, or just CAD the exact frame you need and get the the sheet and tube cut with bolt holes
