Nosecone designer

thingiverse

This is a revised version of the fantastic OpenSCAD file created by Bill Kalsow and posted on the Rocketry Forum website. My apologies to Mr. Kalsow for making such a mess of his beautifully annotated script. The Thingiverse Customizer is very particular about what will work, so I had to remove many comments and refactor a few things. Also, my apologies to Mr. Von Karman - you'll note that I had to "Englishify" the name in the parameters or the ASCII to UTF conversion in the customizer would fail. This will generate one of several different kinds of nosecones and automatically slice it into multiple files depending on the size of your printer. Just click on 'use customizer' and design away! Make sure to enter your printer size in the parameters to ensure it creates the proper number of objects. Please note: There seems to be an issue with the customizer in certain browsers - I'm working on fixing this. It will create all the designs defined in Wikipedia: 1. Nose cone shapes and equations 1.1 General dimensions 1.2 Conic 1.2.1 Spherically blunted conic 1.3 Bi-conic 1.4 Tangent ogive 1.4.1 Spherically blunted tangent ogive 1.5 Secant ogive 1.6 Elliptical 1.7 Parabolic 1.8 Power series 1.9 Haack series 1.10 Von Karman 1.11 Aerospike The original script and its author, Bill Kalsow, can be found on Rocketry Forum here: https://www.rocketryforum.com/threads/3d-printing-large-parts.151124/#post-1869674
