Is the nozzle, the valve, the combustion chamber? How about turbo pumps?

Not so secret: In 2014, the SuperDraco thruster turned out to be the first fully printed rocket engine to ever see flight, as it went on to power the Dragon spacecraft’s launch escape system – Joe Jobs Oct 02 '20 at 16:42
Was the wiring printed on the SuperDraco? – Organic Marble Oct 02 '20 at 19:26
I wish I know. Same q for hoses and screws – Joe Jobs Oct 02 '20 at 19:59

Which engine are you asking about? Merlin (in the title), or Raptor (in the body of the question)? – TooTea Oct 03 '20 at 12:16
