Emboss inside a cone shape objet

Emboss inside a cone shape objet

Hi, 

 

I'm designing a rocket nose cone and I want it to be as light as possible. Do to so, I'm using only 0.8mm thick walls. I've flown that type of nose cone with the exact same thickness and it work suprisingly well, but I still want to make it a little more robust without adding to much weight (I basically do not want to add a 3rd wall). 

 

Therefore my idea it to strengthen the structure using the emboss tool to add vertical lines inside the nose cone, running from the base to the top (something like 15-20 vertical lines). 

 

I've watched many tutorials and I'm able to emboss on flat surfaces as well as cylindres/round surfaces but I've not been able to so on a cone shape object. 

 

Could someone please help me ? 

 

Any advise is welcomed. Thanks

 

Aaron

Your Slicer should do that with Infill settings.

 

or the Web command can do it....

Hi,

@davebYYPCU 
Thanks for your idea. It's not quite what I was looking for, but it's getting close.
I would like to have the same vertical line but only a few mm along the inside walls, not all the way to the other side like in your example. Is there a way to do so ?

I didn't knew the web command, I still learned somehting, thanks for sharing.

I didn't knew that emboss is not possible on double curved surface, that's why I wasnt able to do it 🙂

Thanks for showing your idea. That's what I want ! Is there a way to do more of them quickly or will I have to each one separatly ?

I think you can reduce the amount of steps if you play a bit with the extrusion options "From & to Object".
