I printed the 2.5" diameter nosecone in 2 parts last night and it came out fairly good see pictures . There is a ridge between the upper and lower halves and I had to sand the shoulder on the upper part to get the 2 halves to fit together. For my first try at doing something like this I will have a useable accurately sized nosecone after a little more sanding. This also means the nosecone .stl file I posted previously should work nice since I created the 2 files I used for these 3D prints from that same one. The nosecone fits perfectly into the 2.5" diameter tubing on the Estes Panavia I am building (I plan to decorate it like a Cherokee D) .
