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.
Thanks for sharing your print with us. Yes, it's a little tight, but after opening and closing it a few times, it loosens up and works perfectly smooth.
Nice project but the socket joints are too fragile for such tight tolerances and break off with little effort. Might want to consider re-design to a pin socket joint.
Hello sir!
I am currently working on an RC jet plane project and your modeling interests me a lot!
I would like to reproduce the same thing for the f-16. Would it be possible to ask or purchase a STEP format of your modeling?
I would do a test with ceramic printing or with a ceramic coating after modifying it if you're agree.
It's a personal project. Nothing commercial
not me printing this with a .6 nozzle and .2 layer height..... but hey... the Blade C's goin along well... so if I can nail that I don't think there will be any problems.... exept the main body... gona have to reprint it cause the dam thing likes to snap.... point to myself... be patient with assembly
but holy shit... when the print of a Blade C is almost done... it bends during printing so dam much it's scary... I don't know HOW the fuck do I get such good quality off it anyway when it bends worse than yo mom 😭
I printed it in .1mm layer height... thinking I just need more resolution but the issue is the main body snap on joints are too flimsy to be printed in pla since pla doesn't flex at all and just breaks.... having a bit beefyer version would probably solve the issue.. that or having to print it in something more flexible
Absolutely wonderful
Beyond being a simple and ingenious construction, it is very well optimized from the perspective that it should be printed. I loved it! Nothing required supports and I didn't even have to use glue.
Although, I have to add that the tolerances of the C-clips that connect the -body- to -Link B- need to be rethought. All of those broke off. Personally, Personally, I recommend that instead of treating it as a C-clip, you rethink it as a "through" or "rail-type conductor"
Assalam u Alaikum, Shayaan brother,
Thanks for the Idea, I was able to model a servo retracting mechanism for the Nozzle, and Also modified ur idea to be able to swapable at the exhaust section of an 80mm EDF.
And I really admire ur hard work, recreating whole thing was kinda hard.
Fitment between primary seals (blade a) and the linkages was very tight, to a point when i tried to turn the knurl to open the nozzle, it cut my hand. Cool model but ultimately went into my recycle box.
Very cool. If you want to try a fun one, try to do the TF-30 engines that had their individual 'petals' were on rollers and could look quite different open vs closed.
Hey, Loved the project! You're very talented. I want to download the parts and open it in solidworks, the only issue is that I have the 2020 version and i can't open the files you posted... is there a chance that you could save them in an older version so i can open it?
I am interested in a version as a trailer hitch cover display. Amazon has a 12vdc Edison base flame light that I think would be perfect in the center. The coupling ring could be changed to a ring gear and add a 12vdc motor. Add wiring to a trailer connector. When you apply the brakes, the blades open. When you release, they close. Add some blue LEDs and it would be a cool display.
hello sir,
i liked u r model and am interested do analysis(smoke flow visualization) on this particular modal. if u don't mind can u share u r geometry design for the entire modal. its just for my personal project
The clips on the blade and body snap when inserting the links, how do you assemble this thing? I tried printing with 0.2mm and 0.08mm layer heights, same result. Very frustrating.
im trying to print the model but the small clip pins keep snapping the clips and bending the holders, do you do any sort of post processing on them is there a printing orientation guide?
I noticed in your youtube video that you had a version 1 that you scrapped. I'm interested in playing around with that design. Is it available? If not would you be willing to share?
That model isn't worth making, but if you want to make some changes or improve it, I'd appreciate it. Send me an email, and I'll send you the CAD files.

ma man..... I guess u won't be intertested in sharing....... would you? 😭 xdd
Yes, send a message on Instagram to talk about it. ID: shayan_cad

new report... I now despise the main body with a burning passion.... onto my 4th fuckin reprint
ok... new strategy... pause print and add those annoyng ahh fragile tiny parts mid print and then resume...
skill issue
please send me an email in (shganjipour@gmail.com) or send a massage in instagram (Shayan_CAD) i will guide you😁

maybe use a PLA composite?, I am planning to use a PLA+. Also, what printer do you use?
I did used elegoo rapid pla +... it was too ridgid, my printer is the neptune 4 max running kalico on open4neptune
I do use pla+ (elegoo rapid pla +) to be precise.... Neptune 4 MAX tho I don't see how important that is

Am I allowed to share this on MakerWorld(non-commercial and you pick the license)
whats support.stl for hope i dont need it

I see you are modelling on Solidworks. Can you please back-up the solidworks assembly and share the whole model ?
Sure! If you’re interested in buying the entire model, feel free to contact me at Shganjipour@gmail.com.
The clips on the blade and body snap when inserting the links, how do you assemble this thing? I tried printing with 0.2mm and 0.08mm layer heights, same result. Very frustrating.

Sorry, but I didn’t understand your problem. Could you please explain it again?

Unfortunatly i don't have instagram yet. do you have Discord ?
Do you have a list of pins and joints parts?
