Just seeing your video for the first time. I am 'math-challenged', so I couldn't follow all of the equations - but I do understand the general strategy you use, and it makes perfect sense to me. Another way to do this is with a geometric layout, which is a way to use graphics to sidestep the math. Everyone is different, of course, so it's wonderful that there are many ways to arrive at a usable solution for making layouts like this! 😄
Huh, I was just thinking about welding a pipe diameter adapter a few hours ago and decided against it because I didn't want to work through the math of the cone. Thanks for doing it for me!
Great video! I can appreciate the math, but I'd hate to do it more than once or twice. But really, how many cones do I really make? Not many. This flattened shape for making cones is called a "conical frustum" and there are free calculators online that will do the math for you and at least one app that lets you print the frustum.
My goodness, I feel unbelievably silly now for not taking the time to look this stuff up before hand, and wasting a bunch of time solving it on my own.. But thank you! I didn't know the name of this concept, or that there's calculators for it. That'll definitely save me time in the future! Thanks!

Holy crap!! I never thought you'd actually see this😂 I'm glad you liked it, thanks for the inspiration!

Glad I could help!
