This model is a closure and a sled for a BT-60 sized rocket tube flying a telemetrum and a 400mAh lipo battery (links below). This uses the christmas light ejection charges (https://user.xmission.com/~jry/rocketry/mini-bulb-mortar/mini-bulb-pyros.html) so no need for e-matches. I designed this specifically for the star orbiter so all of the dimensions are pretty specific. Here's what you need:

-e-bay tube, inner diameter = 38.4mm, outer diameter = 39.7 (if you make this by cutting down a bt-60 tube and then wrapping it around the closures, that should give you the right fit). Length =153.4mm

-Some tiny screws (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07ZH9GJWP/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1)

-M3 bolts for the closure (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B51BFSWZ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1)

-Plastic standoffs for the computer (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XW978ZP/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1)

-Micro Switch (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07MW2RPJY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1)

-Wire

-Incandescent Christmas lights

-Telemetrum computer (https://shop.gag.com/flight-computers/telemetrum.html)

-400mAh lipo (https://www.apogeerockets.com/Electronics-Payloads/Electronics-Accessories/400mAh-LiPo-Battery)

I'm planning on updating this at some point in the future to include some other size batteries and flight computers and I'll probably make it a more standard size (150mm seems obvious). If you need something different let me know, I'm happy to share the files!
