I would be building a 8.8 inch rocket
I would be looking for a nose cone
With infinite free tubing, I'd be measuring up a six-segment cutcone. Another chunk cut down into coupler, make a giant tuber from scrap.Or build your nose cone . Different ways of doing it
Sadly I do not have a large supply of mega tubes, but this design keeps popping into my head.Like a fat walrus like two foot tall
Yeah, I was thinking someone had a tube-to-elliptical cutcone calculator where you finish off with a disc over the star at the top and end up with much lower profile ridges.Blocklayer.com has one and can print full size just cut to 1/6 th of the pattern

Sell it. Assuming an unlimited and unchoked supply.
I have considered that. The tubes are not "perfect" but they're pretty great. Biggest issue I've seen is couplers.
My biggest obstacle is transportation from the acquisition site to home. And then there's the idea of shipping it to anyone that isn't local. That'd be an issue.
You can make a coupler by slotting part of the tube and joining the ends. John Coker has a tutorial.
