You can print your own Turbofan model. This model was inspired by some commercial jet engines. It’s an extraordinary model with a big fan (Rotor diameter: 177 mm). The Turbofan can be used as a ventilator with low speed. With high speed usage it also has a high thrust level. The parts are easy to print. You can print the parts with a scale of 1 or with a scale of 0.95 (otherwise the motor won’t fit).

Printing Settings:
The model was printed with an Anet A8 with a scale of 1.
(I had to change the machine settings in the firmware, with the scale of 0,95 it will work to print the parts without changing the settings)
