sapguy Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 Thanks...to be specific...I'm looking for the internal diameter of the opening defined at the red arrows on the image below... since the exhaust needs to fit inside of the opening... A pic of the opening would help too...to see if there is anything to stop the 3d part against. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ESzczesniak Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 Thank you and yes. I was planning to give OD, ID, depth, and anything else that seems useful when I have a chance to look at the parts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ESzczesniak Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Apologies about going MIA. Work got buys for a few days. I can try to get a quick iPhone picture posted later, but at the moment here are the measurements. Measurements are with a bargain ish digital caliper (good, but not amazing) at 3 locations around the diameter and averaged. Outer diameter (flush with nacelles): 0.397" (0.402", 0.395", 0.395") Inner diameter (to slide nozzle in): 0.326" (0.329", 0.326", 0.324") Depth: no hard stop There are locating tabs at 12 and 6 o'clock that are 0.036" to a depth of 0.242" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sapguy Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 So generally the part that the exhaust will fit into looks like this: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ESzczesniak Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Yes, exactly that way. There’s a flare on the out nacelle, but in terms of the interface for the new nozzle, exactly what you show. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sapguy Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 (edited) OK...finished them. They are posted online for sale. Should be a drop in fit. It might be a bit before the 3d render shows up on the site... http://shpws.me/ReBd Edited May 10, 2019 by sapguy Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bulldog 09 Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 SapGuy, any chance we can get a set of these to fit the old Dragon kit? Have one in the stash that could benefit greatly from a set. I plan on getting a set for my new Academy Bone when it arrives. Dave Fassett Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I just need the dimensions below.... in mm if possible. just give me : w= x= y= z= And I should be able to resize to fit.

Bulldog 09 Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Ok, so here are the measurements you needed. There is no W or Z measurements, Dragons resin burner cans get glued to a flat surface. They are not keyed or indexed in any way, and there is no exhaust trunking. They do how ever have the burner rings and exhaust turbines present in their resin cans. So here is the Y and X measurements. W= 0 X= .705mm Y= 9.35mm Z= 0 Please let me know if you need anything else, and thank you. Dave Fassett Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bulldog 09 Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Is X the overall length, or the difference in diameter from Y to the diameter at the exhaust end of the burner can? If it is the over all length then it is 8.10mm. So here are the dimensions I have for the can. Over all length is 8.10mm, Y end is 9.35mm, outlet end of exhaust is 7.69mm. Hopefully this will help.

sapguy Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Sorry for the mix up.... I didn't notice that my dimensions were not appropriately called off in the right location. Regardless, they are posted on Shapeways now. http://shpws.me/Rf6s Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mstor Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 I don't know. I seen a lot of insane prices posted eBay. There is one guy, I think from Japan, that posts quite a number of auctions that are all around 200% to 300% of the MSP. How he expects to sell when the same product is available at much cheaper prices right there on eBay. What can one say, eBay is a crazy world Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SinisterVampire319 Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 So when is it supposed to be released to the masses???? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thegoodsgt Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 The kit is available from shops in Asia, so I suspect we'll see it here in the US and Europe within a few weeks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
