$5.00Jet Engine Component ; Propeller

myminifactory

Human: I've created a cutaway model of several kinds of turboprop engines.The basic component was simplified due to size restrictions on my 3D printer.Then, I decided to expand each component and build the actual model that provides structural explanation.It's the "Propeller" model this time.There are many types of pitch change mechanisms."Gear type" and "Linkage type" are typical.Refer to a photo for both type differences.This is "Linkage type" because it's simpler. The following explainable elements were incorporated: 1. Blade (x4) Pitch changeable by Link, Dummy BRG, Anti Icing Boot 2. Pitch Change Piston It moves when the screw turns instead of using Hydro-Power. 3. Pitch Stop There are 2 stops (Ground Fine and Feather), other stops (Min Stop etc.) were eliminated.

Assembly procedure are shown in photos Fit check between parts is important. Total Net Print Time: Approx. 24HR- (Estimated as case of PLA, 0.4mm Nozzle, 0.2mm Layer Height, 40% infill and No raft and support) Note: When at actual print, each parameter may be adjusted by your experience. 3D printing settings Raft, Support, Layer Height, Infill: Depending on your experience. My models were printed by "idbox" using with 0.4 nozzle, 1.75 PLA. I hope you enjoy making!!
