Pushing the resolution to 5 micron...

We just acquired an Ultra High Resolution 3D laser printer.

This printer is able to produce a theoretical resolution of 3 micron dots. I have made a print of the 1/7 scale Rafale Ultra Scale strut to this resolution.

Enjoy the details...

 

Here is the full nose strut.

 

And a detail of the steering actuator valve with a view of the 0.3 mm hexagonal screw:

That should also give you an idea on the number of hours i spent on this design. All CAD drawn feature by feature from the pictures of the real thing. Hundreds of hours of drawing....
