Check back here in November 2017 as I plan to add a picture of the completed rocker ready for liftoff - and will add a YouTube link of the launch. "Liftoff" is expected sometime in October. I suspect 3D printing also resulted in a much more robust nose cone assembly with the nose come double walled, 15% fill, and weighing in at just under one pound. Now the typical nose cone design for a rocket like this is over 20 parts due to flange, bulkhead, eye bolt, screws, nuts and more - so 3D printing greatly simplified assembly. The nose cone was too big for a single print so I broke it into 2 parts - tip and base - that each took about 60 hours to print out of PLA (sustainable, starch based, with low shrinkage during printing. I have access to an Ultimaker 2 3D printer (now two years old that I printed a boat model with a ways back) - so went ahead and printed the nose cone. He sent me a few drawings which I then turned into a 3D model using Fusion 360. My brother is an AutoCAD user - and all 2D (yes yes I keep nagging him about going 3D). The software simulation (required for rockets this size) indicates it should reach 10,000 feet in altitude at a peak speed just over 1000 mph. Now this is a serious amateur rocket with a solid fuel rocket motor with an aluminum case two feet long and near 3 inches in diameter (yes not your Estes cardboard tube rocket motor we all played with as kids). My brother asked for help making a new nose cone for his next rocket.
