Semroc Micro Mars Lander, KMX-02, Part 4, Main Nozzle Forming


This is the two leg alignment tool pieces.

To the left is the engine mount depth guide and the nozzle pieces.








The other side is a bit smoky but this doesn't effect the build.

The instructions say to glue the three nozzle rings to the motor mount tube. I thought it might be easier to shape the sides of the nozzle lamination off the tube.
TIP: The rings were stacked and three pieces glued together, but not yet glued to the tube. The tube was only used for alignment. After the glue on the rings dried, they were slid off the tube.



The burnt laser cut sides let you see how deep you are sanding. You might think you are done looking at the left, but try to sand off most all the brown which should remove the step lines.
