Build Day 17: Finishing the thrust chamber v2 and hogging the steel jacket


This 1.2 inch end mill is the greatest tool ever invented. The boring takes about a minute and it leaves only a 100 thousandths to bore out after it finishes cooling. Saves a whole day of work compared to the old-fashioned way i was doing it before. While it was cooling I figured why not get a start on the thrust chamber... 6 hours later....done. At least I am getting a lot better at this!

Currently, I am waiting on the 450 watt power supply ($20) and nitrous oxide regulator ($50) to come in so i can get to testing the solenoids and injection systems. I will post pictures of those as soon as they come in.
