Amazing work. Looks like the real deal.

Thanks using stainless steel nuts and bolts to get the real look. need to re sand/paint the valve covers as they look to uneven will keep updating it as it goes

Another little update starting to look the part now. Feels weird that i can just lift it up and move it around. I cannot do that with a real one.

Hi all
Im building a full scale 3D printed rolls / packard merlin engine not sure if anyone apart from the master Tom Kay has done a engine but heres my attempt so far. Crankcase completed this far 3 weeks of solid printing.

This is absolutely incredible! I'd love to print one.

Wow, this is amazing.

What kind of 3D printer are you using?

Thanks, I'm using the bambulab X1C it takes over 2000hrs just to print the parts but is worth it in the end. Costs around £4500 to build but a real one is £250k now so a cheaper way to own a nice static model. Working on engine number 3 now to a MK9 spitfire spec
Cheers
