Centuri Vulcan Build Part 6 Cone Shaping

Wash and thoroughly dry your hands before making the printed cone shroud.
Any oil or dirt on your hands will transfer onto the printed surface.

Step 13 of the Centuri instructions have you pull the large body shroud under a ruler or over a table edge. I've never gotten good results doing it either way.

In the picture, note the front end of the dowel is tapered. when forming a shroud this large in your hand, you'll have to curve the back end, turn it over and form the smaller front end.
The tapered front of the dowel prevents a crease from forming in the middle of the cone. A square end on the end of the dowel could make a line around the center.


Clear tape is placed down the edge with the sticky side facing out.
You'll be able to line up the edges with just the tape (no glue yet) to get it right.
It did take a few tries to get the orange edges to line up.




Here's what the open edge looks like from the outside.

The edge is glued down in the next step.
