3D Printing Any interest in helping with a 5" Wildman Jayhawk custom 3D print need?

Any interest in helping with a 5" Wildman Jayhawk custom 3D print need? Picking up one of these kits at Midwest Power this coming weekend from a fellow flyer.

I'm a sport scale guy, but I think the wire tunnel is kind of a must have. I have a 36" long piece of Wildman's 38mm tubing in hand, going to lop that in half length wise and that will serve as the wire tunnel main run. I have a LOC 38mm nose cone that can be halved as well, but it's way longer than the scale wire tunnel "cone/tip." Anyone want to take a crack as designing a half of a plug that would interface to a 38mm tube?

Thanks for looking! @jd2cylman for visibility...

These is the wire tunnel cone/tip in question please...

I made something similar for another project. It will hold up.

Yep, exactly, thank you!

Now I have to figure out who needs a bribe locally.

Someone with a 3d printer probably.

I could have used those for my Relativity build! My squares of balsa look quite rudimentary! I guess I will be reaching out to you for those when I do V2 or the Relativity rocket!

Thank you for the assist!

What color? And are you at Midwest Power?

Nice!

Well thanks to @rocketgeek101, @ChuckH, & @thzero, 3 of these turned out great and fit the 38mm tube perfect!

@jd2cylman, grab 36" of 38mm glass tube from Tim this weekend please for yours.

 

[thzero]

No problem, glad it worked!

Can you post the final product. I really want to see this.

Is this the actual stl used?

I am having a friend in my local club try print this up to use with my 5.5" polecat jayhawk. Is this printed from the above stl file or were changes made to it?

I didn't. But the STL was with the fiberglass tubing in 5" scale in mind, so you'll have to adjust the STL to be able to size it for paper tubing and 5.5"

Would it be possible to get an stl version of this for 29mm Wildman fiberglass tube and for a 4" diameter body?

Yes I can easily do that.

 

[terryg]

Yes I can easily do that.

I would greatly appreciate that!

 

[rocketgeek101]

I would greatly appreciate that!

Here you go. 2 versions to choose from. #1 is sized so that the 29mm tube should be cut lengthwise exactly in half. #2 is sized so that the center of the "cone" sits on the surface of the 4-inch airframe, rather than below the surface (hopefully that makes sense).
