Description

Hey There,

This is my modeled Jet Engine similar to the LEAP-1B.

This model needs no support and has some modifier to safe on filament.

The Rotor clips in place (just be a bit careful) and the outlet can be pressfitted into place from the inside.

The Cowling can bei either printed with support or cut like in the print profile and glued together.

Hope you like it!

I think this model has a lot of potential. But, there are some components with some weak spots. The shroud for the exhaust gases is paper thin and very easily break-able. The turbine blades are very stiff, and while they do spin it is not that easy to get them to do so. I'd like to see a design where they're mounted to a shaft that gives them more freedom of movement and ability to rotate on a cylindrical shaft rather than a square peg. Lastly, the fitment of the exhaust assembly really really needs some notches in the turbine housing for alignment. If you try to fit the exhaust assembly by hand and make it straight and symetrically fitted in the housing you're going to be at it for quite some time. I must have spent a combined total of 20-30 minutes trying to get it straight, with varying methods. Finally in the end i was able to get it straight by sleeving the housing assembly over the exhaust assembly, holding the housing in my hand, putting a soup can on my desk and knocking on the exhaust assembly base with the soup can, with varying levels of force, until it looked right. You might ask, why did you need a soup can??! ..it's a way to distribute force across the entire surface of the part, rather than on one of the four corners you need to adjust to get a proper fit. ..And if all else fails, a sode can fits perfectly inside this object, so it can be used as a koozie.. lmao! Best of luck!

Also, a 25% scale non-rotating model is tiny and cute as hell.. lol

@JuliusC

Thank you so much for your feedback! Love your little soup story haha :D The tiny turbine looks soooo cute!

So glad you uploaded this, i resized it to fit my 500 scale RC Airwolf helicopter boost intake hole, It didn't come with anything to fill the holes up and I've been looking for something, they printed really nice, when i get them finished I'll take a photo and share it with my feedback.

Now, what if we could put a motor in it and make it a real fan? Eh???

The designer has replied

@JuliusC

Yes that would be awesome. I designed it indeed to have a lot of space inside for modification and if I have some time on my hands I will try to work something out - thanks for the boost btw! :)
