I made an aerodynamic fin can! I plan to use this one later and instead print it again in PA12-CF. This is also my first ship, and first thing that I designed that I have also 3d printed! In retrospect, I think making the fins bigger would have been a good idea, but in open rocket(the rocket simulation software) it showed that the design should be fine, so I guess it is!

I finished 3d printing the fin can, and am finally done, getting ready to ship. probably my last entry.

Sooo I simulated the fin shape, and tried to fix the fin can. Regrettably, was not able to fix the fin can yet, but the fin shape seemed perfectly fine in simulation

Mostly done with the fin can. I am facing a problem with fillets, as they will not apply for some reason. I will be troubleshooting the problem for a while.
