Nosecone designer

thingiverse

This is a modified version of the FANTASTIC openscad file created by Bill Kalsow and posted on the rocketry forum website. My apologies to Mr. Kalsow for making such a mess of his beautifully annotated script. The Thingiverse Customizer is very picky about what will work, so I had to remove a lot of comments and refactor a few things. Also apologies to Mr. Von Kármán - you will note I had to "Englishify" the name in the parameters, or the ASCII to UTF conversion in the customizer would fail. This will generate one of several different kinds of nosecones, and automatically slice it into multiple files depending upon the size of your printer. Just click on ‘use customizer’ and design away! Make sure to enter your printer size in the parameters to ensure it will create the proper number of objects. please note: Seems to be an issue with customizer in certain browsers - I'm in the process of fixing this. Will create all the designs defined in Wikipedia: 1 Nose cone shapes and equations 1.1 General dimensions 1.2 Conic 1.2.1 Spherically blunted conic 1.3 Bi-conic 1.4 Tangent ogive 1.4.1 Spherically blunted tangent ogive 1.5 Secant ogive 1.6 Elliptical 1.7 Parabolic 1.8 Power series 1.9 Haack series 1.10 Von Kármán 1.11 Aerospike The original script and its author Bill Kalsow can be found on rocketry forum here: https://www.rocketryforum.com/threads/3d-printing-large-parts.151124/#post-1869674
