Model Rocketry Configurable Fin Can by garyacrowellsr

This Thing is an OpenSCAD file that can be used to create a user-defined custom Fin Can that may be printed for use in building a model rocket. A 'Fin Can' is a single unit that comprises all of the fins that are attached to the body tube at the base of the rocket. In this case, the tube is intended to slide over a standard sized model rocket body tube that contains the motor, in the BT5 to BT80 range.
This file requires that the user download and install the OpenSCAD program (free, see www.OpenSCAD.org), and configure it to use the OpenSCAD customizer. Instructions for this are contained in the sections below.
With OpenSCAD installed and configured, the user may open the "Configurable Fin Can.scad" file and use the controls found there to adjust the dimensions of the Fin Can as desired. The many detailed dimensions available allow a wide variety of possible fin designs.
