Cheat sheet?

[sreinmann]

Okay, I'm as up for cracking open my algebra II and Trig books from college as the next guy, but I'm still as comfortable using a crib/cheat sheet now as I was then. Haha

As I delve into designing my own parts and models I'm wondering if someone has come up with "for this radious conic of this height create this donut dimensions." Or something of that sort?

Hi!

There have been several excellent discussions about cones, one of which was this one:

Help needed with unfolding truncated cones

I had a post which included a link for online and downloadable cone calculators.

In the same thread, Scissors and Planes also had a downloadable PDF with the math formulae needed to calculate.

Hopes this helps!

That's the one that I use now when making fuselage pieces. Normal cones are easy if you know basic trig and geometry
