The shoulder of the nose cone was out of round, but with the base inserted it is round enough to fit in the body tube with no problems.
Someone at the launch suggested the warped nose cone looked like a Jalapeno pepper. It did.
I looked online for images of peppers, but they were short.
I could print up red, yellow and green peppers and stick them on down the body tube. The nose cone would be the 3D topper on the rocket.
But that's the easy way out, the body tube would remain straight and only the nose cone would be bent.
It could also be a snake head - nah!
I decided to make the entire rocket a little "warped". Nose cone, body tube and fins.
And, it's got to be stable.
