3D Printed Nose Cone and Transition
Here is some 3D printing I have been doing for rocketry lately. Thought Id learn the process and 3D CAD along the way.
This is a 4" NC, and a 3"-4" transition. Both are destined for a 1/2 scale Nike Apache project I have been working on for a while.

Material is ABS, printed on a Stratasys 1200ES.
Had about half a dozen flights for the NC already. Have only gone to Mach 1 so far (on my Velociraptor R).
Next flight will be a solo run for the Apache on its maiden voyage, and I am expecting Mach 1.2 for that. Still not excessively fast.
