Estes Aquarius Native Nose Cone 39mm

thingiverse

I added the Original style nose cone. without my alterations. the base cylinder is 39mm. so figure out what "ID" you need figure out the percentage difference. IE take your ID and divide .39 into it. the resultant number is the % you need to SCALE this part so it fits your body tube that you want to use. so if You wanted to use this in a 75mm ID body tube you would do 75/.39=192.3% so you "SCALE" the OG nose cone 192.3% larger in your slicer and hit print and it should fit your tube. If you want to try playing with the ORIGINAL file I made (IE take it apart etc..) instead of just a passive STL you should be able to do that here https://www.tinkercad.com/things/1tIGAIy1OhK-neat-trug-bigery/edit?sharecode=C6eXzrYB2RMgYIQQXcHoM-w-R2-P29VK1dwQeKAaiWM ----- I am making a 3D printed version of the Estes Aquarius but the nose cone man that nose cone such a pain. the model has a lot of issue. then.... it hit me. no way. this thing is just 3 balls. that's it 3 balls make the whole nose (plus a cone on the bottom) YEP. perfect match. insane. so I recreated the nose from scratch so it will slice and import "clean" into modelling programs and slicers. I took a small liberty with the back of the cockpit "cut out" to make it vase mode compatible (this one is solid not vase my vase mode version will only work for the exact size I make it for IE I would have to remake the vase slices for different sizes) the "base cylinder" at the bottom is exactly 39mm. so do the math to "scale this" to whatever OD Tube size you want to use it with and then add your shoulder to the bottom. When I get around to it I will make one version with shoulder for the OG Aquarius. I think it needs to be 15% smaller? or larger? not sure.
