Hi, trying to create this capsule…  
main volume is quiet easy.  
But how do you make this “pointy” ends with the revolve tool ?  
Any idea ?  
Thanks

Just a quick and dirty design.  
I let the ‘thread’ run naturally into the skirt section…

If I were to do this properly I would have given it the correct profile and wall thickness.

Nice try, never thought about that technic… 😲  
Could fit for a long distance object, but not precise enough for my actual project… 🙄

That’s a shame.  
If you do find a solution that fits your needs then please share it here. I’d be interested to see it. 👌

I thought what @welshsteve presented was spot on. I’m curious as to where exactly do you need more precision?

If you watch my original post, the picture shows less rounded elements…  
With @welshsteve trick, I was also not able to add round edges inside the elipse (not sure my explanation is correct… as my English is maybe not good enough…) 🙄
