Hello Chris! You Sir are a legend and a warm welcome from me here in Brunei. Great to hear from the designer, and what a design that was! So cool LOL! Very well done and very clever! The whole thing now stands on my desk and will feature in the background of many videos hopefully. I have only just found you on Thingiverse and linked your design there too. Thank you for taking the time to drop by and say hello. Kind Regards Karl.

Hello Chris, this masters peice of a design. With your permission I would love to build it out to build it and actually power it. We are hoping to build the first jet powered aircraft in Nigeria 🇳🇬. This is a huge inspiration

Chris, do you have a design for the fan stator casing, compressor casing, turbine casing, etc., in two halves that can be assembled together to create a 360 enclo sure??

@@timothycatchpole7948 Hi, did you get a reply or did you find them? The Thingiverse files don't show these files, as far as I can find.

Hi Rick, it was nice to get away from the pressure of building my designs and just going with somebodies else's design. So much fun and I think it shows I the video. Thank you.

Hello Sir, thank you for taking the time to comment and the kind words. Kind regards Karl

It's a fantastic, fun build! Enjoy and at the end you will have a gorgeous piece of aviation art!

Hi Zach. You are so welcome and thank you for the kind words. Best regards Karl

Hi Tom, hello from Brunei, thank you for taking the time to comment and the kind words are much appreciated. Put a smile on my face. Thank you and kind regards Karl

Merci beaucoup pour les gentils mots et d'avoir pris le temps de passer et de commenter! Cordialement Karl

Thank you for the kind words, Karl

Hello MJ, Thank you very much for those words. Kind Regards Karl

Humbled by your words, thank you! Kind regards Karl

Thank you, This is such a fun build and brings back many fond memories. I can only imaginbe the quality of the prints on the X1! Have fun with this one!

Hello and thank you! Kind Regards Karl

Any time and thank you for taking the time to comment.

Thank you, the designers did an awesome job on this!

@@helimech8152 They made an awesome kit! And you did a fantastic print and build of it! How much PLA / resin did the build consume?

Thank you so much 😀

Hello, ill leave that job to the professionals like Rolls Royce & General Electric! It does make for a great show piece though. Kind Regards Karl

Thank You!

Hi Zach, this was a fun build. Funny, I was just packing this up last night ready for our move back to the UK.

I think my original reply was auto deleted by KZfaq, I'll try again but separate them into multiple replies as I have a guess as to why a program would auto-delete it.

Special Note: I applied for a 3D printer very quickly before work began today. I may have not remembered the details accurately about original build and I don't tweet anymore, so it's a mess of replies to replies. If you are unhappy with my tweets for printer for any reason whatsoever, or just simply don't think I should apply with that goal, or have any other issue, just let me know and I will delete the tweets as soon as I can after seeing your deletion request, if it is made.

I really do love this build, you went above and beyond in creating it. Most of the few models that exist don't have a cowling or pylon, which I think adds so much to the aesthetics and feeling (well, looking at it on screen feeling). I'm still surprised or shocked you can't get a proper model of one (I really wanted one of the iconic GE-90) as I just love Turbofans for some reason. They just get me going, always. And since no one offers it, I decided I'd slowly learn the things necessary to build one myself based on yours and your inspiration sources. At current rate it will be a long while. I've been getting better with electronics, but got slowed down by my own recent moves. Next step is a 3d printer, so full disclosure, I applied for a 3d printer (reason for new comment was I had to find your original video to credit) with stated goal of printing a model similar to yours. Even if I don't get to make one as great as yours I'm just happy someone did it and took the effort and time to record it and share it with the world. Good luck with your move, hope it goes smoothly, but box that project well, it's super unique and something that should bring you great pride.

You can find the tweets by searching at Morbo on Twitter, but be careful when searching. I wanted the Futurama name MorboTheAnnihilator, but it was too long, and now I have yet to figure out if Morbo means something in another language or Twitter is just deranged.

Hi Patrick, This was just for a Prop in the background. Loved the design and build. However, since making this video, i know have turbo prop engines, helicopter gearboxes to create, the list is growing fast. My place will look like my old college training room with all the parts of 3d printed aircraft components. Kind Regards Karl

Hi Brian, I would have lived to see that! This is just a plastic version, but I'm so impressed with it. 3d printing is moving fast!

Hello and thank you for takingbthe time comment! Kind regards Karl

Hello and thank you! Kind Regards Karl

Well that made me smile! Indeed...Cool! Kind Regards Karl

Thank you very much! Next time! Kind Regards Karl

Thank you! I think so too! lol Kind Regards from Brunei.

Thank you so much 😀

Hello! I can't recommend this design enough!

Thank you! It's a cool bit of kit!

That sir is a very cool idea!

Or even enlarge the print % and go 1:1 of the real thing!

That would be awesome! I was thinking the same thing !

Hi Cory! This was such a fun build and i loved every moment as an aviation enthusiast!

Thank you, the files are courtesy of the designers Bob & Chris. Kind Regards Karl

Hello, and I agree! Too cool for Skool!

Thank you too! & kind regards Karl

Hi mick! Thank you! All good at your end? Still smiling and healthy as can be?

@@helimech8152 as much as it can be thanks Karl

Welcome aboard! and thank you, Kind Regards Karl

I get this comment a lot, in my trade I would have said operational if it was going to burn fuel. Working as it demonstrates the internal workings of the engine. But yes, regardless, its a beautiful model that Bob and Chris created. Kind Regards Karl

@@helimech8152 While a title change probably wouldn't fetch as many views, "3D printed interactive cutaway jet engine" would snag more keywords and be a bit more honest.

it all so says 3d printed, do u seriously think u can a jet working if its 3d printed

@@emptymannull 110% is impossible, cant go over 100%, numbnuts

@@jimmyjames1807 Why would something being 3D printed preclude it from being a functional part? Different manufacturers can print some version of everything '3D' now, from houses to organs to jet and rocket engine parts, and you'll find them more than suitably functional.

Thank You! Kind Regards Karl

This was done on a CR10, id love to see the quality on newer machines like the Bambu! Thank you for the kind words.

Hi Richard, I'm currently looking for speed controller and motor that will achieve at 8000 rpm

Awesome can't wait to see it running again.

Thank You.

Hello and thank you! Kind Regards Karl

This was a very fun build. one of my favourites.

I was also waiting for the "working" part..

After seeing the rocket engines that are now 3d printed metal, I do wonder if this is possible. But I'd need a few more people watching my vids, before that becomes a reality!

@@helimech8152 this is my first day.

@@helimech8152 dude thats a must, seeing that work would be phenomenal

​@@helimech8152 Put the "Thanks" button so that people can donate.

I can't recommend this enough. It looks stunning on the shelf, and even better fun building it.

Thank You from Brunei! Karl

Thanks Steve!

Hey Josh, what did you think. It made me smile building it! It's so cool! Lol

Thank you!

Hi Philip, Thank for the awesome comment. Kind Regards Karl

Thanks!

Hi, i have 2 3d resin printers. The Creatilty LD002R wins over Elegoo mars easily in my opinion. The other ones are a wash machine and curing unit. I will certainly try to create something in the future once the throttle unit is done. Kind Regards Karl

Hi Ray, I am very much learning the video front. There really is so much to learn and i now appreciate people who do this for a living!

Hello and greetings from Brunei! Thank you

¡Gracias! Saludos cordiales Karl

It still makes me smile now when I look at it. The designers did an awesome job .

Very! There ate some very clever people out there.

Hi Donald, thank you for the advice! Kind Regards Karl

If you love aviation then yes! Its truly amazing and such a fun build. Go for it!

I love it!

Thank you, This design belongs to Chris and Bob. They are the geniuses behind it.

Thank you

The Trent 900 that this 3D printed model depicts is one of those. There are only three “bolted” attachment points to the wing. There is a forth vertical pin from the wing that goes into the pylon but only constrains the thrust of the engine. It supports no weight whatsoever and does not need to be detached to remove the engine. The three bolts are also not solid connections but are actually pivot points themselves. All this is done to carefully distribute the weight, aerodynamic loads, and thrust of the engine to the wing structure without generating additional parasitic stresses. This 3D printed model has four bolt attachment points but there would be additional brackets that go between these attachment points and the three bolted connections on the wing. The socket for the vertical thrust pin is modeled in the pylon. Some builders of this 3D model have gone as far as modeling the additional brackets and basic wing structure to attach the engine model.

Thanks for the visit and taking the time to comment. Kind Regards Karl

Cool idea! I need to strengthen the large turbine blades first. The stress of more rotational force and i can see it ripping itself apart. However, since building this, many other 3d printed engines have now popped up on my radar that have designed with extra speed in mind.

Thank you

It's cool lol, but the designers deserve the credit for this one. Kind regards Karl

Hello, To be able to make this at home by primarily pushing a button is fantastic. 3d printers have helped produce parts i could only dream of when regarding the full sim build. Kind Regards Karl

Hello, it's from amazon. Its called a silicon work mat. Great bit of kit!

Hello Andrew, I believe that the parts can be created on those exact printers. I think there are split files offered by the designers. Check out the download files for me more info and double check before you start! Kind regards karl

Hi John, That would be a dream to build an engine with one of those printers. The quality of the build would be amazing and I would love to see what sort of centrifugal loads they could withstand! Kind Regards Karl

@@helimech8152 With Graphene Nanotubes and microthermal heat transfer I think one could be designed and built in one day. Just need peramaters to input to computer design...... Nvidia has the computer to design and render anything in under 1 second...2021 is a great year

Its an amazon Blue work mat silicon. Just type that in and you will see hundreds!

Hi John, that's a pretty cool idea!

Hello and thank you. All advice is greatly accepted and I will give it a go.

@@helimech8152 which kind of adhesive you use, may I ask

Cheers!

Thank you

@@helimech8152 Thank you for sharing. Just amazing what can be 3d printed these days. The model is amazing, and I enjoyed your demeanor and presentation style.

Hi, I have seen some very cool additions to this build since I released the video. An airflow sensor hooked up to an Arduino should be a fairly easy task to create.

Super cool!
