Hi All,

I have been using Tinkercad for some time now for designing and 3d printing parts for Radio controlled scale models. 

Current project a mk1 Spitfire.

I designed and printed the seat back and Mirror. 

I'm trying to create mk1 exhaust stacks but I'm stuck on creating a compound curve on the first stack using basic shapes.

 

Any help would be appreciated,

Stuart,

  Hi Stuart,

   

  If you have not found it already , try the "bent pipe" under the Featured tab.  Extremely powerful.

  Hi Bruce,

  yes I have tried it. 

  I can get the bend for the exhaust but unable to get it to taper at the front as the pipe is the same diameter all along its length.
