Greetings People, I'm back, it's been quite a while since the last blog I've sent but doesn't matter, and I'm going through okay. Today is the School Holidays, giving me a good time to work on my first rocket but the only thing is I'm running through a set back which is the nosecone.
The reason why it's a set back, is because as Mum and I looked through in the shed with the unfinished kits or kits that haven't been built yet, the nosecones that they have don't fit the rocket I'm building and the ones that have already been built don't fit the rocket, some are too big, the most of them are a bit small.
For that information, that forces us to build a homemade nosecone but with different strategies of how to make one like from balsa wood with a wood Lathe.Unfortunately I can't get an image that matches the strategy because it will affect the security of the blogger.com.
Or from balsa wood (same material) but as sheets, bent to take shape. Unfortunately I can't get an image to match the strategy I'm talking about, although as I've found the one I'm looking for, I couldn't be able to copy the image and send it on this Blog Post.
Maybe with plastic from a 3D Printer. I'm also unable to view an image for this stratagy because of the same thing for the one for the wood lathe. Doing it with a 3D printer is tricky but it requires a computer to make a computerized model of the nosecone and then printed from the printer machine and cleaning up the over hangs from the printed model.
Well, that's all for today, if there's anything else I need to add, I'll put it on my blog so I hope you people would understand what I'm saying. See you guys around.
I've managed to get the set back under control when I had help with my Dad by using cylinders and making them into nosecones as we both marked cutting lines, then cutting them, fold them inwards and making sure they overlap on one side and the other side gets overlapped and then gluing it starting from the inside then the outside.
