Default Is anybody 3D printing this thing?

We ALL know what this is: it's the display nozzle assembly for the Estes Gemini Titan and Titan III (in this case the Titan III.)

Is anybody offering this up for sale as a 3D printed part?

Thanks!

If you have a 3D printer, the nozzle stl file can be found over at Thingiverse at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2845691. This includes all of the plastic parts for the Estes Titan 2 and 3e. I used the nozzle file to create the display stand for my Dyna-Soar model- also at Thingiverse (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4763032)

Thanks, but I don?t own or have access to a 3D printer. Do you know if anyone is selling them.

https://www.shapeways.com/shops/ces...-multimedia?s=0 is where I tend to look- but while he does have a Titan II cone for BT-60, and parts for the K-21 kit he doesn't have the display nozzle set for the BT-60.

If you need one, I _might_ have one in one of my parts drawers, but I didn't find it in a very quick check. Too much shifting around in the last move.

Thank you, but I don?t actually need one right now?I actually have (1) spare and I?ve used it as a pattern to replicate the nozzle assembly using small parts (I did a thread on it years ago).

For giggles, I uploaded the file from Thingiverse to Shapeways, an you can get 10 of them made for $98.19 shipped for the next 2 days. (includes a 15% discount)

What a bargain.
Only about 20 TIMES what the thing is worth....

Um, that's too much for even ME to spend. I'll replicate it from small parts like I've done before.
