Description

The long-awaited follow up to the original 3D Printable Jet Engine is finally here! This all-new model includes improvements and lessons learned from the previous design making it more user friendly to assemble. The entire engine is designed from scratch based on similar existing low bypass turbofan designs. It was designed for educational and aesthetic appeal, so it will upgrade the look of wherever it is displayed. For simplicity, it uses the same ball bearings and fasteners as the original 3D Printable Jet Engine so you can use the same Jet Engine Model Components Kit - 006. I have also included a detailed step-by-step build instructions PDF in the Documentation section. Again, since this is a brand new design, some room for further improvement may exist; please feel free to make suggestions in the comments or in a direct message. There is a motorized version in the works as well using components from Maker's Supply, so stay tuned for that! If you feel strongly one way or another if the motorized version should be USB powered or battery powered, let me know in the comments.

All parts except for the display stand should be printable on the A1 mini. I've uploaded another print profile that uses Support for PLA for the support interfaces which results in better quality overhangs. If you are having issues with adhesion to the build plate on the fan stages, I've personally had the best luck with the Cool Plate. Also, I've had better quality results on the thin fan/compressor blades if I disabled Wipe (see picture above for the filament setting override).

The required fasteners (screws, washers, and nuts) and ball bearings are listed below. However, to make your life easier, there is an official hardware kit that includes these components in the Bill of Materials section below.

Metric machine screw, allen socket cap, 2.5mm x 0.45mm x 10mm (QTY 70)
Metric flat washer, 2.5mm (QTY 118)
Metric hex nut, 2.5mm x 0.45mm (QTY 70)
6204 open ball bearing 20x47x14 (QTY 2)
6003 open ball bearing 17x35x10 (QTY 2)

The jet engine will look great in any filament, but what I recommend (and what is pictured) are listed in the Bill of Materials section below.

Good luck and happy printing! Message me with any questions!

Have the whole collection. Could not be more happy with them. incredible work. Can’t wait to see what else you have in store.

Love this!! Thanks for printing and posting the pic!

Fantastic collection!

where can one find the full collection? I would love to build the rest!

Only the second time I've double boosted - this is an amazing model that I enjoyed printing and assembling (for the most part :-) ).

The designer has replied

@CATIAV5FTW

All the screws add to the realism haha

Is the exhaust section a remix you've done? I like how the exhaust struts are cutdown and cover the rear bearing

@TheLoneExtruder

Replying to @LegacyOne :

I was wondering how long it would be before someone noticed that 😉 You are correct. That white bearing stood out like a sore thumb on the blue casing so I had to cover it. Maybe I should share it as a remix?

Strength Issue:i think it has bad strength Edit: I tried to print it one more time and it cam out better. I increased the first layer 5 C more on bed and nozzle and reduce the first layer speed little bit (Adding Two more Stars)

The designer has replied

@CATIAV5FTW

Looks like poor bed adhesion led up to it. Which build plate did you use?

@Halle923

Boosted

I’m also having this problem with the stock A1 bed. Never been an issue before.

@CATIAV5FTW

Replying to @Halle923 :

Is the build plate thoroughly cleaned? not just with IPA but with degreasing dish soap.

@MYDEXS

Print successful, operation successful. I hope to simplify the base, the current base is too wasteful of material.

if you want i made a stand for this, its a remix of a Linus3D stand https://makerworld.com/en/models/839863#profileId-785788

Finally got my print done. was having issues with the blades until I saw your suggestion for settings. Worked like a champ.

Perfect print! Thanks for posting.

@Cuzz19

Hi, very excited to print this new model I have printed several of the original model and added my own extras to them along with RTWILEYRC’s nacelle. one suggestion I would have to make this new one even better would be to incorporate something similar RTWILEYRC’s minimal supports remix of your original engine where he uses separate casing flanges to eliminate the need for unsightly overhangs on the casings I used this remix to print the original and it makes the finished model that little bit more pleasing to look at closely, that said great job on this it’s an incredible model

The designer has replied

@CATIAV5FTW

Thanks for sharing your build, it is magnificent! Sadly, I haven't even built RTWILEYRC's full nacelle mod yet due to lack of display space. I'm personally not fully on board with splitting the casing flanges for the sake of print quality on the undersides, because the additional glued interfaces introduce potential issues with tolerance stackups. And those glued joints would become highly loaded when picking up the engine. I instead prefer using separate support filament for the support interfaces, whether it's Bambu's support for PLA or PETG. I uploaded a profile for the former option which I highly recommend.

@Cuzz19

you make some very good points about tolerance stack ups this did cause some slight issues with the fit of some parts. I haven’t tried printing with the support for pla yet so I’ll give that a go with this new one and I’ll post a picture when I get chance to get it printed thanks for sharing these models for us all to print they are fantastic display models and I really enjoy printing and building them

@lab_abysmal

Firstly, thank you SO much! This was an absolute blast to build! I printed on a K1 Max with no issues. I never print in actual finish colors, just whatever is around. This is all PETG. For paints I used flat black, gold metallic, blue metallic (Behr), and Chrome. Instructions are easy to follow, just make sure you follow them in order as jumping around can cause some issues. I can't say enough positive things about this model and it's creator! I have some paint touch-ups to do but I wanted to get a comment in asap!

The printing time was extremely long, but the print quality turned out great, and the supports were easy to remove. I have to say, this model requires a lot—really a lot—of screws! If you lack patience, I wouldn’t recommend printing it. However, once assembled, the finished product is truly stunning; it’s practically a work of art. Thank you very much for your update!

The designer has replied

@CATIAV5FTW

Thanks for the feedback! The print looks great. Any issues with the assembly directions?

With Support for PLA - Low Bypass Jet Engine Model

After some issues with filament settings on my end, the final product is amazing! My kids love it and lots of my friends thought it was outstanding. I did add mouse ears in Bambu Studio to numerous parts (especially the blades). I do have some issues with with the LP and HP blades not spinning together, but they turn independently. I’m sure it is an error on my end.

The designer has replied

@CATIAV5FTW

Nice! Can you explain in more detail about the issue you're having with the blades?

@user_1884186062

Replying to @CATIAV5FTW :

In the horizonal position, when I spin the fan blades, the turbine blades in the back turn, but the HP compressor and combustion blades do not spin. If I move it to a vertical position where the fan blades are facing up, all of the blades will spin when I turn the fan blades, but it takes a little to get the middle blades to start to spin.
