VT nozzle overlays for Freewing Eurofighter Typhoon

thingiverse

These overlays are designed to fit over the TV nozzle on the Freewing Eurofighter Typhoon, providing a push-on solution that's surprisingly unobtrusive given its functionality. Printing them as light as possible is crucial since they bear no load at all. The cut-outs within the design accommodate the ball joints for the TV pushrods perfectly, making it essential to ensure there's no flash on the print, which would prevent a smooth fit. Due to their thinness, you may need to adjust your slicer parameters accordingly; I used Cura 4.4.1 and set the horizontal expansion parameter to 0.15mm for optimal results with my Monoprice Ultimate (identical to Wanhao Duplicator 6) printer. When using the TV moveable nozzle, make sure you still have full movement range on your TV nozzle. If your slicer or printer can't handle this design, consider opting for a slightly thicker alternative available at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4101139. To enhance functionality, I've also added a 2nd nozzle (Fernando nozzle.stl), which provides a complete cover for the Eurofighter nozzle with VT disabled, extending its coverage significantly.
