50N paraffin motor parts machined

We are nearing the end of manufacturing the new parts for the paraffin ~50N motor. We decided not to go for testing on Friday 12/14. A few more parts have yet to be made, such as the mount for the motor, the nozzle insert which will be milled, and the combustion chamber needs the retention holes to be milled. The team also needs to work on the grain manufacturing. We need to do some density testing as well as structural testing. Right now we are also looking for paper tubes with an OD of 2".
Here are some photos of the completed parts.

How the motor should be when it goes together, this is not the combustion chamber in the middle but a part of the grain mold.
