Sandy,

You might want to look at this thread on 3D printing:
https://forums.rocketshoppe.com/showthread.php?t=17185
Also visit;

to see the 3D printed parts I made for a clone of the Estes Geo Sat LV.

I have 2 x 3D printers I bought for less than $200 each and I can print high quality nosecones by the dozen for a fraction of a dollar in a few hours up to BT-60 size!

I have been considering setting up a business of my own just 3D printing plastic nose cones and similar objects. I am not sure I can compete with Kevin Cespedes at Aerobotix: https://www.shapeways.com/shops/ces...-multimedia?s=0
