Kort nozzle for 50 mm propeller by George_JK

Last crawled date: 3 years, 1 month ago

Model of Kort nozzle used on working boats ( i.e. tugs, research vessels...).
I modeled it using online pictures, and some basic information on the shapes of these things.
The model itself is made of 3 parts, Korth 1 is the main body of the nozzle, Korth 2 is the rudder mount and the Rudder. I printed the model from PET with the Korth 1 laying on its face and the rudder oriented upside-down. The print was done using 0.4 mm nozzle and 0.15 mm z step. The infill was set to "Archimedean Chords" at density 20 %.
The final prints had slight ellipticity of 0.1 ~ 0.2 mm in the inner diameter.

Updated the files, I cut the main body to two pieces for better print of the front. It used to be a bit deformed and I remodeled the rudder base to a better shape, I think. I leave here also the uncut body, if it would be preffered.
