Afterburner & Variable Nozzle for LBP Turbofan

This nozzle is an extension of my LBP Turbofan jet engine. I have separated it due to the complexity and difficulty of the assembly.

This model features a detailed afterburner with a variable nozzle based on the original design of a jet engine. The nozzle can be adjusted using a control ring. Those who wish to focus on the technical design can also omit the outer blades. These serve only to visually replicate the Eurofighter’s EJ200 engine.

Disable “wipe while retracting”  in fillament settings to avoid printing issues; also, make sure the print bed is clean and the filament is dry.

Some holes may need to be re-drilled due to their small diameter; please refer to the assembly instructions for further details.

I’m curious to see which colour combination you’ll use – have fun printing!
