Not too accurate toy model of a three-stage Blue Origin New Glenn rocket (design status of late 2018). Has detachable third stage (tip) by using magnets. While the actual rocket is in development stage, it's already flying smooth with my son as "booster" here. Come on people - this is not rocket science!
Model is not to scale.
Printer:
Felix Tec 4.0
Rafts:
No
Supports:
Doesn't Matter
Resolution:
0,15 mm Layer heigth
Infill:
30%
Notes:
Suport is not really necessary, the inset for the magnet will most definitely come out pretty good making use of bridging.
Do not use rafts to guarantee a super flat glueing surface.
You may want to use a prime pillar for the top of the capsule to prevent the nozzle melting the pointy tip of the part if you print each part after one.
Materials and Instructions
2 pcs. 6x10 mm cylinder type magnets
Strong glue (i.e. two component glue)
Optional: Three 3 mm dowels (adjustment pins in first/second stage glue connection)
Glue the parts together. Optionally use the dowels as adjustment pins and for enhanced strength.
Glue the magnets into the fitting holes on second and third stage (tip). Pay attention to the polarity of the magnets.

Not to scale and not too accurate. The third stage connector is completely freely designed for functional reasons.
