Shark444 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Does anyone know of someone who can manufacture Venturi tubes in 1/48 scale on a 3D printer? I need about 20. Thanks, all. Sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bozothenutter Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 As in intake bells? I have used electrical wire ferrules with good results. Or the 1/43 car crowd might have useful stuff. https://www.spotmodel.com/product_info.php?products_id=4474&language=en Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Length of the front cone, length of rear cone and wall thickness. Cheers, Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just have to get back up to the aviation museum to take the measurements. I'm assuming you want the 1:1 dimensions and you'll reduce accordingly per required scale? Thanks for having a go!

wellsprop Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 @Shark444 1:1 is ideal for me. What aircraft are the tubes on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NA-64 Yale; Mk.IV Bolingbroke (Blenheim); Cessna Crane Should all be relatively the same size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greggles.w Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Hello @Shark444 & @wellsprop … just curious if this was a successful experiment? I’ve come across this while searching, thinking these should be just the little thing that 3D printers can handle … Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellsprop Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Worked very well! I'm now using an elegoo saturn and it can handle very fine details - 3d printing is a superb way of improving injection kits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
