Tecnikit Posted December 17, 2025 Posted December 17, 2025 We are showing the final version of the J-58 engine, which is now ready for printing without any further modifications. As you can see in the bottom image, the 1/23 scale the afterburner has had to be divided into 3 parts, not 2 as shown in a previous image in this thread. This was done to achieve the best possible quality in each section by minimizing the number of contact points for the print columns. In total, the engine will consist of 10 parts, 7 of which are shown in this image. This is in addition to the 4 hydraulic piston shafts for the nozzle panels, which are made of brass. The 1/32 scale version will not require as many parts. From here, the final printing for shipping begins. We remind you that with the new changes, each 1/23 scale engine requires approximately 40 hours of printing time. And due to their size, they cannot be printed in batches. Once again, a huge thank you to all the customers who have ordered this motor. First, for supporting us with your orders. And second, for your immense and exemplary patience.
