This is a sleek elliptical nose cone design for model rockets. The CAD file is parametrically generated, meaning that by changing the diameter and ratio (height to diameter) in inches, the program automatically updates the design accordingly. Note that common diameters for nose cones are included in the file, and by utilizing ratios, you can effortlessly scale any elliptical nose cone design up or down for various diameters. Included are two ready-to-print nose cone designs, as well as instructions on how to choose your favorite nose cone ratio. Follow these easy steps: Instructions: To create a customized nose cone, simply modify the diameter and ratio (in inches) within the OPENSCAD file, and it will automatically generate the desired design.
