Anyone else print one of these yet? It’s a really cool model. It would be even cooler thought if it had some sort of gear system instead of just a straight through shaft.

GE just released this really cool model of a jet engine. I printed it on a 3500 HDMax using the semi-transparent Crystal material.
This is the first GIF I’ve ever created. Not a perfect loop, but close enough.
Only had to print one part twice, the flat base, because my first attempt warped too much. Keeping wide, thin flat prints from curling is always a challenge for me.
I’d say the main fan and the base would give people the most issues as you guys pointed out. My base warped a little bit due to the heat process used to remove the wax supports on my machine. I had it oriented upside down and it sagged a small amount. It was close enough so I didn’t re-print.
