K'nex SpaceX Falcon 9 Launch Pad
This instructable will show you, step by step, how to make a launch pad for the K'nex Falcon 9. The pad is purely decorative, and is inspired by the holder for the Falcon 9 rockets. As always, feedback would be greatly appreciated!
Difficulty: 4/10
Strength: 6/10
Also, sorry if the building techniques seem basic, I made this a while ago.
Supplies
I always like to include a parts list, however, I am bad at counting pieces! If I were you I would take this list as an approximation.
Here is the parts list:
Rods (largest to smallest)
5 grey grey length rods
3 metallic green red length rods
17 dark grey yellow length rods
14 metallic blue blue length rods
45 metallic grey white length rods
38 black green length rods
Connectors (largest to smallest)
3 white 8-point connectors
10 metallic blue 7-point snap on connectors
26 light grey 5-point connectors
42 grey 4-point snap on connectors
4 dark grey 3-point connectors
1 dark brown 2-point straight connector
9 light grey 1-point connectors
Clips/Misc.
13 metallic blue clips
5 tan 2-point short clips
4 black joint strengtheners
4 black y-clips
2 metallic grey blue width spacers
Construct Base
This is the base of the pad.
Lower Support
This is the very bottom support.
Upper Support
This is the skinny vertical support. It is a bit difficult to assemble, but I somehow think you'll manage it.
Combine Supports
Here, we combine the upper and lower supports.
Final Steps
In this step we combine the supports with the base.
Attaching Your Falcon 9 Block Five to the Pad
Here, you can attach your falcon 9 to the stand. (If you don't have a falcon 9 yet, you can make one here.)
