F-18 Afterburner Variable Nozzle - Was a breeze to print. Assembly was decent althought its definetly a little tight and needs some encouragement to get it moving - 3d model

F-18 Afterburner Variable Nozzle - Assembly:0/10-Mostly my fault I should have printed it in higher quality I have to reprint the body.stl multiple times due to sockets snapping.

Model:10/10-Very cool model would have liked it to be a few less parts but then again it looks amazing

Note: I could not put the blade-C.stl on because I had to put hot glue on the sockets to prevent the links from slipping out. - 3d model

F-18 Afterburner Variable Nozzle

Reverse-Engineered afterburner variable nozzle based on F-18 fighter jet.

Model Info: This model is just an experiment to understand how an afterburner nozzle works. However, it’s not an exact representation of the real ones and may not be a practical model for use in actual jet engines.

Dimensions: 105x90 (RxH)

Part List

  • body = 1
  • Holder ring = 1
  • Nut ring = 1
  • Blade A = 12
  • Blade B Assy = 12
  • Blade C = 12
  • Link A = 12
  • Link B = 12
  • Rod = 12
  • Support = 12
  • Adaptor = 1

Printing This model contains many pins and joints, so it's essential to print with high quality to ensure all the parts fit together perfectly. Material: PLA Layer: 0.2mm Infill: min 10% Supports: NO Brims: only for blade C

features I designed a threaded end on the nozzle to allow it to attach to other components. If you can't design a threaded part, you can use my adapter with M5 holes, which makes it easy to attach to anything.

I appreciate your support and downloads. Please share your thoughts and experiences with me, and I'd be even happier if you could provide suggestions to help improve my model. Thanks!
