Not too accurate model of a three stage ISRO GSLV Mk II rocket. Has detachable stages and boosters (strap-on motors) by using magnets. So many parts - ist almost a puzzle. But hey - it should be at least a tiny bit of rocket science!

Model is not to scale.

Notes:

Do not use rafts to guarantee a super flat glueing surface.
You may want to use a prime pillar for the tip of the rocket to prevent the nozzle melting the pointy tip of the part if you print each part after one.

Post-Printing

Materials and Instructions

• 6 pcs. 6x10 mm cylinder type magnets (to connect the stages)

• 6 pcs. 1.5x10 mm cylinder type magnets (for the boosters)

• Strong glue (i.e. two component glue)

1. Glue the parts together.

2. Glue the magnets into the fitting holes on the stages and boosters. Pay attention to the polarity of the magnets so that the boosters are interchangeable.

How I Designed This

Based on some images used per 2018.
Not to scale and not too accurate. The third stage connectors and booster connectors are completely freely designed for functional reasons.
