Jet engine display case

grabcad

I designed a custom case for the CATIA V5 FTW jet engine. The engine is secured using friction fit and can be easily removed when needed. I utilized the original stand as a base but made a boolean cut to integrate it seamlessly with the case, adding two stabilizing arms to prevent the case from tipping over. These arms were printed separately and later attached to the base using a strong adhesive. An optional bracing system is also included in the print file for those who prefer extra support. Furthermore, I divided the case into three separate components for easier printing, which I then glued together before priming, sanding, and applying a durable coat of paint using a high-quality rattle can with both primer and paint in one.
