Hi Andy
im working on the early merlin exhaust stubs at the moment, ive not got the drawings but just working off measurements and pictures they are going to be a while due to the lack of time and will be for the kent battle of britain museum. what museum you doing parts for? and cool projects going on.
cheers

The printer uses a wire style filament on a 1kg roll. It lays down a layer around the size of fishing line so takes a while but has great detail.
The parts are modelled from scans and original drawings i had help with most of these parts.
The printer (bambulab x1c) takes a STL file which is made on the CAD software and sliced into parts the correct size for the print bed.sounds complicated but it’s fairly simple.
A cylinder head would take around a week to print. So you can imagine how long this takes.
having a bid on a crashed merlin engine need a new coffee table base :love-struck:
few more I have found on the internet not sure who to credit on the photos but there great!

Hi All,
mustangboy it is the same Mustang ‘Excalibur’ looks like it could be real trumper as if you Google P-51 Excalibur quite a few images are available but I am trying to find contact info so will e-mail the owner ?. Now owned and flown in the Czech Rep.Looks like he liked the low stuff :highly_amused:
