I think if you are going to turn this into a for profit business, then maybe some practice on nosecones are in order, especially with the closing of Semroc, I know there are some styles of nosecones that are not available in plastic ATM. For example I know I am looking for a replica to the BNC-20AZ nosecone for a mini mean machine scratch build. I know if you could get something with a similar look and weight, you could make a killing.
Bingo!!! Now what?
I could really use some help with my nosecone for my L1 project... The original "bid" winner hasn't been back in touch w/me.
There may be a few minor alterations to the original .ork, so if you're interested, I'll get you the updated dimensions.
I am late, but do you still need help with this? I have some time and a working printer.

What printer did you get?
Makerbot Replicator 2 5th Gen. I think if I had a second chance, I would go with the Cube from 3D Systems. I saw a demo of one not long ago. They work the same way, and the output is similar, but the Cube had a few features I liked.
Just checking, did you receive my PM with my address? I'd gladly pay shipping for the part, just let me know when it's coming. I'm ordering the 3" tube and centering rings from Balsa Machining Supply this week. I plan on it being my next project. Make that my next large project. I seem to have at least 1 under construction all the time
I shipped the part last week. Hopefully you will have it soon.
I think I mentioned this a few pages back, but maybe it was overlooked... would you be interested in doing a 29mm 5.9" long ogive nose cone for PML phenolic tubing? Could use it on a 29mm min-diameter project (might be even able to test it past mach 1...)
What are the specs on the tubing? I need the inner and outer diameter. I can design a nose cone from there.
I'd suggest removing the Centering ring a the top end, as that can be done with a fiber centering ring up inside the body tube (thus less material needed, as well as being lighter, and with less heat concerns). I'd probably use a CR5550 (centering ring for a BT-55 to BT-50) inside the boat tail as well (in combo w/the boat tail's wall).
Measured using digital calipers:
Outer diameter: 32.5mm
Inner diameter: 29.1mm
Thanks!
I have a hollow nosecone with a screw in plug. The plug fits inside the tube, 29.1mm with the nose cone haveing a full OD of 32.5mm. Do you want me to put air holes in the NC so you can put a small altimeter into it?

The capsule is bigger around than the Redstone launch vehicle. The base is smaller diameter than the widest point of the capsule.

You can zoom in on the photos to get a better view. This SEMROC cone tapers to fill the underside of the Mercury Redstone. That's what I mean by sitting in a socket, at least for this cone for my intended application.
Here are your numbers;
B=2.82
D=2.65
E=1.00
C=3.00
A=2.93 and needs to be 2.5" long.
Thing here is B and D are inside of E. D starts 3/8ths" down from B.
What we have here is a cup with no bottom. The cone is going to be attached to the adapter and I'll eject the whole thing, adapter, cone, tower and all
This is done. PM me your address.
