The nozzle will print without support. The Thrust Tube requires support around the servo mounts.
I printed with PLA, 100% infill.

You will need to wet sand the ball-joint surfaces. I started with 400 grit, and worked my way up to 3000 grit. This makes for a smooth friction-less joint.

You will probably need to sand to fit your EDF. I used a dremel drum bit to ream it out to a perfect friction fit. I did not need to glue to the EDF.

I mounted the unit in a v-tail formation due to...

I designed this after Josh issued a challenge to the community to create an EDF Thrust Vectoring Unit. I have no idea if it will win the challenge, but the plan is for them to promote the use of the device of whoever wins, at FF 2024. its a great design, and a very simple one to print and assemble. Let me know of you need any assistance getting it working.

It was suggested that I simplify the servo mount to make it easier to print. This one should do the trick.
