These are the hinges for my patent pending Rocket Drone.
The full project is published on Instructables website.

Since SpaceX and Blue Origin achieved the vertical landing of their own rockets, to obtain the reusability of the Falcon 9 and the New Shepard, I've been fascinated (and obsessed at the same time), by these accomplishments. In short words, I've designed my own rocket (on a small budget) to have the same "fun", on a smaller scale!
I've already created the 3D drawing of the full Rocket Drone, but (regrettably), I can't afford to buy a 3D printer, therefore all the parts of it have been built from scratch (mostly using recycled material).
Currently the only parts 3D printed are the hinges (I spent 90£ to print them in nylon), but I would say they are the most important.
This project can be furthlerly developed making the Rocket Drone fully autonomous, therefore every donation/tip would be more than welcome.
