I have made a few New nosecones to add to my Nosecone repository on thingiverse. You are now welcome to download and print for yourself Apollo BPC in 5 sizes BT 70,58,50,20,5 In addition if anyone wants 1 of the 3 extra prints I made BT 50,20,5 You are welcome to them for nothing more than the cost of shipping.

:eek: Impressive! :cool: |
Thanks, scott_mills for the great nose cones you have done. I have printed some of your nose cones and rockets and they have come out nice-looking prints.
I have a question. Have you thought about designing a nice 1/200 scale Saturn LUT that could be paired to go with ESTES 1/200 Saturn V? I don't think it would have to be super detailed but enough to give the Saturn a nice stand. |
No i Have not thought of doing that because I actually built my bt80 saturns a little before that came out, so I had no real desire to dp anything for tat size. Good news is though there are a few already on thingiverse you might just have to scale them appropriately.

And now for something a little more modern

Really great work on these capsules!

Never got any answers to this one----

I think we have the makings of a small club for "I want a home laser cutter" but I still need some help picking out a machine. I get more confused than I get educated when I try to read up online about hobby laser cutters. Surely someone out there can step in here and make a few recommendations. Not trying to derail this thread (I'm reading along on this one too) but I think the subject of laser cutters fits closely in with 3D printers. I still want to find a small cutter for cardboard and balsa CRs. Anybody help? |

Sorry that I can't add any new information to your question, but maybe it IS time to have a separate thread on this, maybe "Laser Cutting for Everyone" or something similar, so that folks that do have working knowledge of these can help the rest of us. I too would like to learn more and maybe get a laser cutter one day. I think I'd probably do one of those before I did a 3D printer. Earl |

For creating smaller models or parts, a laser-guided, "3D cutter/chisel" (with interchangeable blades, depending on the desired use) would be very useful. For example, many kits called/call for sanding in a root-to-tip taper, and a symmetrical airfoil or faceted cross-section, into the fins (or an asymmetrical airfoil, for many boost-glider kits' wings). A 3D cutter/chisel could hold a sheet balsa (or sheet basswood) fin or wing "blank," which could be moved along the blade (*or* the blade could move, instead) in a series of shallow "passes," to give the blank the desired, programmed shape (the blade--or the blank, in its holder--could tilt as needed to create the desired shape), and: Such a tool would be equally useful to model aviators and model boat & ship builders, including--but by no means limited to--F/F HLG (Free-Flight Hand-Launched Glider) and F/F catapult glider enthusiasts, and it could also make wing, tail assembly, and fuselage parts for larger, built-up models (R/C sailplanes, powered planes, and vessels, C/L and U/C [Control-Line and U-Control] powered planes, etc.), so there would be a sizable market for it. For model rocketeers and model aviators, the software could contain the airfoil ordinates files for many popular symmetrical (for fins and some wings), asymmetrical (for wings), single & double wedge, and circular arc (for scale-section fins and some supersonic & hypersonic wings) fin and wing cross-sections. |
