Lyrics
Verse 1
Mouse clicks
Screen glows
I scale the nozzle till the pressure flows
Green lines
Solid blue
Measure twice before I send it through
I extrude the body tube
I revolve the nose cone
I constrain the fins
Check the mass
Point five millimeter walls
Stress test the balsa
Gravity simulation says I need a wider base
Chorus
Symmetry and lift
Symmetry and lift
Render it in wireframe
Hope the glue can hold the drift
Watch the center of gravity
Watch the center of gravity
Verse 2
Dust on my desk
Rough prints
Sanding down the layers of the first attempt
Carbon fiber sleeve
Snap fit
Looking at the viewport till my eyes feel heavy
Calculate the motor mount
Adjust the leading edge
Fix the gimbal
Run the script
Lock the joint
Move the vertex three degrees
Testing out the deployment of the silk parachute
Chorus
Symmetry and lift
Symmetry and lift
Render it in wireframe
Hope the glue can hold the drift
Watch the center of gravity
Watch the center of gravity
Bridge
Maybe it floats
Maybe it breaks
Maybe it clears the tower without the shakes
The design is done
The design is locked
The design is ready for the launchpad
Guitar Solo
Verse 3
Exporting the mesh
Cloud save
Hardware in the shipping box on the way
Digital to physical
Latent heat
Printing through the weekend on a heated bed
Thin shell
Infill dense
Wrestling with the physics and the common sense
No room for the errors now
Zero tolerance on the assembly of the bay
Chorus
Symmetry and lift
Symmetry and lift
Render it in wireframe
Hope the glue can hold the drift
Watch the center of gravity
Watch the center of gravity
Outro
Five percent more thrust
Angle the stabilizers
Symmetry and lift
Clear the workspace
Back to the sketch
Delete and restart
Save as final final
Ready for ignition
