For edf thrust vectoring, it would be good to use four linear actuators or four servos attached after the edf perpendicular too each other, attached with strings, which control a flexible converging nozzle which is 3D printed out of PETG, a flexible material.

@@FliteTestHi I am a technician in a school in England. We have an 80W Chinese laser are you able to give me any advice about cutting foam board please? From my own experiments I am thinking hot and fast is best but I'm trying to reduce shrinkage of the foam core. I am also focussing the laser to the middle of the board. We are using this for architectural models mostly though we sometimes use it for prototyping other stuff. Thanks for any help you can offer. Thanks for the videos too 👍🇬🇧
