Jet engine on a home 3D printer

Building your own jet engine is a good way to test your engineering skills. Garry Hamilton is a teacher and 3D printer from New Zealand who developed and created a cool jet engine on a 3D printer - a model that demonstrates the processes taking place in a real turbojet engine.

Working on the energy of compressed air, it clearly demonstrates the work of the turbine and the internal moving parts.

This project can serve as an excellent visual aid for schoolchildren, making the study of physics and technology more exciting and truly exciting.

Anyone can do the same for himself - Hamilton laid out the project in open access to Thingiverse, you can download it and build your own turbojet engine. It's easy, many Thingiverse users have already repeated the creation of this model on the Hamilton files.

Thingiverse dxhacksaw did this using his UP! Mini, and it looks pretty cool.


For those seeking more information, dxhacksaw has created a magazine where you can ask questions about the build.
