Estes is offering a $40 kit so you can print your own model rocket parts. Loved building models as a kid, might be fun to do again.

$40 sounds like a lot for what you get
Commenters at the end of the article agreed with you on that. Probably better off buying a launcher and some engines instead. Then create your own designs with some CAD software. If I had a printer back when I was 12, printing up my own cones and fins would have been great.
According to the manual, the only thing you get with the kit (other than access to the digital files) is a couple of cardboard tubes, some stickers, and a parachute — the launch pad, igniter, and even motors are all sold separately.
yeah WTF, this seems like a greedy bullshit cash grab at $40
