Mini Gas Turbine Engine

Update: July 29, 2018 Due to numerous requests, I have created a simple two-piece cowling and stand to showcase my designed model. This design is intended to be printed without supports in the orientation provided, mimicking a simplified version of the outdoor test bench used for running plane engines. I drew inspiration from a similar concept of a gas turbine engine that I believed could be improved upon. The model has been optimized to print without any supports or infill requirements, making it suitable for use with a standard 0.4mm nozzle or smaller. The model prints as three separate pieces that easily snap together securely without any wobble. The orientation of the connector in the original file is crucial to achieve the desired strength and durability. If you plan to assemble this project with kids, I highly recommend gluing it together for added stability.
