I very much am.
You cannot be serious!
I am making cones for my own means, not for the potential competition.
Written my own script,with help from your generator.Thanks for your dedication to a great project.
Maybe experiment with Alu and graduate to Ti when you've "caught the bug"
You know it must have been about 7yrs ago that I got the script for the clone with fissure off CP
yeah it's running through me head the last hour, there's not much in the ti in a metre roll for mistake, might get some flashing aswell.Certainly a good idea to perfect the design using cheaper aluminium foil before committing the design to Ti.
(good job am not that paranoid)

Is the thinner titanium tougher... or just more fashionable?
Ti has a higher youngs modulus, yeild stress, better fatigue resistance & retains its strength at higher temperatures.Curious.
Just did the sums comparing the 0.1mm Ti with the 0.2mm Al. The thicker aluminium works out lighter.

Al thickness = 0.0078" ≡ 0.19812mmMy head sums would put a 0.1mm Ti cone about 20% lighter than a 0.2mm Ali but we're only talking a few grams.
Weight ratio Ali to Ti = Thickness ratio * SG ratio (2.7/ 4.5)i made a direct clone of the fkeg caldera cone from 0.005" grade 5 ti and weight was 1g lighter than the ali.
