A quick update.
Nosecone was printed today in ABS (mostly to determine print settings). The model was still pretty rough; there was a small offset where the rounded tip met and no shoulder. We have a few small tweaks to try but the entire cone printed and everything seems structurally sound. I have revision 2; a more accurate model complete with shoulder and fully filled tip that smoothly transitions to the cone. I will be in tomorrow morning doing some work and will attempt a print.
The bulkhead should be ready to print. We still don't have the lower transition, but that shouldn't take too much.
With the direction this thread has taken, it might be a good idea to move it elsewhere on the forum. Any thoughts?
