Does the Vanguard Eagle booster have any kind of recovery, other than tumble/ballistic? What size chute does the sustainer use? Would be interested in body tube sizes and lengths too.

The body tube lengths can be found on this page .

https://www.rocketreviews.com/rocks...uard-eagle.html

I'm thinking of doing a couple of minor changes to the NC to make it print without supports. As it is the boosters on the outside at the bottom of the NC will at minimum delaminate without supports as they are. But if I deviate from the original and round the bottom of those then they should print ok.

Another unique nose cone suggestion: from the Estes Star Rider and Nemesis kits. It has a bubble canopy like the Lynx & Scorpion, and canard fins.

That one is an interesting cone I forgot about.
Looked around on that auction site for a reasonably priced Star Rider kit years ago but gave up.

Nice effort. I've wanted this cone for years. It must have been available separately at one time as I'm sure I bought one from Thrustline.

Looks very good. I just bought one of the Nemesis kits from JonRocket, I will try to make some measurements and try my hand at building one in FreeCAD, if I get the chance to learn how to use it. I found a local 3D printing service and ordered the Vanguard and Screaming Eagle parts, I will try to clone those eventually.

I've updated my Trapezoidal Fin Can on Thingiverse. The OpenSCAD file is the same but I've added a bunch of pre-configured cans for anyone who might not be comfortable working with OpenSCAD. If anyone wants a particular configuration that's not there, just let me know and I can work it up.

Also, I've run all of the .stl's through Netfabb to clean things up. If anyone has had non-manifold problems with them before, that should be fixed.
