Recycle a 250 ml can with 3D printed parts to create an air rocket. 3D print a cone, base, and launch pad, combine with a recycled 250 ml can, fill half full with water, and launch your rocket using a bike pump.

Open up the top of the can, glue the base to the top of the can, and glue the cone to the closed end of the can (bottom). For best results sand the mating surfaces of the base and launch pad to ensure an air tight fit. Connect the bike pump to the launch pad, fill the rocket 1/2 full with water, place rocket on launch pad, pump bike pump, and blast off!
Do not use support for the launch pad because it could fill in the air passage.
