Firework Rocket

[Mao_Zedung]

Looking to make a small rocket based on Chinese fireworks. Anyone know where I can find a nose cone that resembles the one in the picture, or otherwise a 3D printing file that works with standard tubes. Any help is appreciated!

What diameter body tube? When you say Fireworks Rocket, you mean looks like and not explodes like?

I printed one from a file on Thingiverse, but I haven't been able to launch it yet. Stick rockets are a ton of fun, but need more room than the park where I usually fly low power.

Similar, but not the same as the Acme / Chinese rocket.

Those nosecones can be made with a circle of virgin kraft paper and wheat paste strengthened with dextrin. 2 circles of kraft paper with 1/4 arc discarded roll up nicely into a cone. Brush each layer of paper with wheat paste/dextrin mixture and allow it to dry. You would need to fashion an appropriate sized coupler for a recoverable rocket.

Body can be a truncated cone made the same way from an arc of kraft or made from a cardboard tube to look just like the picture above.
