Model Rocket Tail Cone

thingiverse

A far more realistic rocket engine tail cone is now available for Estes kits, a significant improvement over the ones that come standard. The design has been carefully scaled to fit an Estes BT-60 motor tube perfectly, with its 1.595-inch inside diameter making it easily insertable - though the outcome may depend on your printer's capabilities. When preparing to print, ensure the end of the motor tube is closely positioned at the bottom of the nozzle to avoid overheating. Printer Settings: No rafts should be required, and neither are any supports necessary - decent bed adhesion is all that's needed for a trouble-free printing experience; 200-micron resolution provides an ideal print quality while keeping infill percentage within reasonable limits at between 10-20 percent.
