2. Approximate materials (estimates, not measured)
| Material |
Per kit |
160 kits |
| 3 mm birch plywood |
~0.06 m² (incl. 35% waste) |
~10 m² |
| Translucent filament |
~45 g (nose cone ~22 g + diffuser ~24 g, assuming 100% infill) |
~7.5 kg + test waste → ~9 kg |
| 5 mm copper tape |
~0.3 m |
~50–60 m |
Print and laser times: to be measured on the first part, then split across 17 printers and 3 lasers.
3. Per class (outside the kit)
- Multimeter ×3, battery/LED tester ×2–3, tweezers ×5–6
- Spare finished rockets ×5–6
- Spare LEDs, cells, copper tape and stickers (15%)
- Troubleshooting card (5 steps: battery → switch → LED direction → tape contact → leg contact)
