Proof that sometimes you just need to put less work into it.

Golden Eagle Pathfinders finally get to test out the fruits of many hours of cutting, welding, designing, testing, painting and crashing in the gym. Thank you, Ben Johnson, Rick Johnson, and Scott States for providing the extra 3 cameras.

Every year we make new cars and race 'em!

The Golden Eagle Pathfinder Club has been working on the Rocket Honor and I decided to see if I could record the flight of my rocket. We had some wind earlier and this launch angle is overcompensating for the now calmer winds. Still, for $8 in parts I got a lot of great footage. Model Rocketry Honor 1. Know and explain the Model Rocketry Safety Code. 2. Know and explain the importance of the basic model rocket components. 3. Draw the following: a. The steps in the flight of a model rocket b. A cut-a-way view of a model rocket engine, labeling each part c. A schematic plan for a simple launch system using proper electrical symbols 4. Define the following: a. Wadding b. Boost gliders c. Stall d. Payload e. Apogee f. Center of gravity g. Center of pressure h. Impulse i. Velocity j. Ejection 5. Name and describe at least four different recovery systems. 6. From a kit, build, finish, and paint a single-stage rocket that has a minimum length of six inches with a recovery system, such as a parachute or streamer. Successfully launch and recover the rocket with the recovery system deploying properly.

13 to 19 year old 'teens' go on Extreme adventures to make new friends, commune with God, try new things, and test limits. This year we took them Backpacking to Echo Lake. What will we do next? Will you and your teen friends be there?

List five ways that 3D printing could be useful in your everyday life. 2. List five safety rules for 3d printing. 3. Name three types of 3D Printers and what they may be best suited for. 4. On a typical extruder type 3D Printer, find and explain what function each of the following parts has: Filament, Filament guide, Filament stand, Extruder “hot end”, Base plate “print bed”, Step motors, Frame, Control module, Idler gear, Hobbes gear, Heat sinks, Cooling fans, Threaded rod “lead screws”, Power supply. 5. Name ten types of filaments or infused filaments on the market today and what they might best be used for. 6. Name and try out 3 or more free 3D design programs and list your pros and cons for each. 7. Use a slicer program such as “Cura” to convert a design into layers for printing. a. Note the print time, before and after, as you adjust the following parameters. What effect does it have? Model size, Layer thickness “quality”, Infill density, Wall thickness. b. Explore other variables and settings 8. What happens if you overheat your filaments while printing? 9. What happens if you under heat your filaments while printing? 10. Why would you or would you not want to use a heated bed when printing? 11. List five reasons you may not want to use a 3D printer to create items. 12. Read Genesis 1 and 2. In a group, discuss some of the issues God may have considered while planning and creating our earth. Think about the incredible amount of planning it takes for us to print plastic parts and how much more effort our loving Father must have put into designing us. 13. Print the following two projects using a 3D printer, one of which must be of your own design: a. Any design of your choice b. Any item or set of items from the Bible that has a special connection to you. 14. Print, don’t buy, the 3D Printing Honor from the approved STL file, downloadable at: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2gp71oBAuG1dHBWWTZzQi1uUHVYektrUzgwWFM2emRWWTNn/view Use both red filament for the backing and white (glow in the dark white if you can get it) for the foreground. Note: A single extruder printer can be set to pause at any level to allow a filament swap. See Example at: https://youtu.be/u0c7xLDZAlI
