Jack Hydrazine has created a 3D file for the enerjet fin can, this has made cloning the 1340 feasible. https:\/\/www.thingiverse.com\/thing:3641770<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fin can has remained available in other kits, such as the Estes Eliminator for years, but even that has ended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 1340’s outside tube diameter is the same as the Centuri ST-13 and the Estes BT-56, but the 1340 used a thicker tube wall, the LT-125, which is available still from eRockets, although it is discontinued, so once they are out, they are out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 1340 had a plastic connector between the lower tube and the payload tube. I don’t have a real sample, so I’ve created a 3D connector that is similar what is represented in the instructions sized for the LT-125. All that is really important visually is the 0.1 inch band that separates the tubes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ll also need to create a nose cone, as the ones I have are made for and ST-13\/BT-56 and the shoulder diameter is too large. But the nose cone profile and size is correct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
