3D Printed Motor Mount

  • 2-axis gimbal actuates Estes E12 rocket motor​

  • Minimizes servo mount size for maximum actuation range

  • Can actuate to at least 6.8 deg to stabilize pitch and yaw

  • Designed to fit 29 mm and 24 mm motors with an adapter

  • Reverse-kinematic model used in software to ensure accurate actuation

  • Designed in Fusion360

Hold-Down Testing

  • Required to tune rocket's PID controller and verify simulation results

  • 3D printed 2-axis gimbal holds rocket in wooden stand

  • Thrust vectoring can be tested using rocket motor or brushless motor with a propeller

  • Shown that the rocket can stabilize itself in a passively unstable position

volume warning :)
