You could make rocket launcher from papier-mache, office paper, cardboard or any other material, even just take a pipe of suitable diameter. And it will be much faster than wait at least few days for 3Dprinter finish its job and than glue together multiple printed pieces.
Rocket launcher is just a tube with sight and simple firing system for projectile made from battery, switch and fuse. For advanced guided rockets you should add targeting electronics that will program projectile with target properties or coordinates, that in any case could not be 3Dprinted.
Agreed. People are too infatuated with the 3d printers that they don’t stop to think that they’re making something stupid. Something that could be done faster and cheaper with conventional materials and methods.
Using a 3d printer to make your own trigger mechanism, parts for stabilizing fins, etc would be cool and smart. Building a tube out of plastic when a metal pipe is so easy to come across is just pants on head retarded. To a hammer, every problem looks like a nail. And to a 3d printer fanatic, every item looks like it should be printed in molten plastic.
