WAY TO MUCH TIME ON MY HANDS

I actually design this in a Cad program called Plasticity and then 3D printed it, I did see a picture with a red N on it, i may add that. -

Ok Gents I think i am going to call this done, it has tested my patience long enough, could not capture every little detail but i think it's enough to make it believable with the less than spectacular lack of planning on my part -

Gonna need a healthy dose of Prozac after this. A lot of the larger plumbing is done and still have a few more to do before i move on to all the smaller wiring. This something i should have definitely planned better than i did but where's the fun if it all fits perfect Made a little stand for it, kinda helps when planning things out, should have another update next weekend. -

Little bit of painting and some weathering done. -
Anyone know their way around a 3D printer?

Have you been helped? and found everything you need. related to your question? -

Small update, everything received it's primer today and the last of what i believe to be the last of the 3D printed parts, everything will be scratch from here. Did add some wiring today also but i realized i would not have enough so i had to order 3 more packages, it's ignition wire in yellow from Hobbylinc and comes in 24" strands, I cut it into 4- 6" strand to leave me enough to play with but i will need more, The black wire retainers are 1.3mm rod drilled out with a 1mm bit (by the grace of God it worked) and the wire slipped through, the rest of the plumbing will be made with plastic rod, I have sizes from .3mm up to 1.5mm so bending and forming won't be an issue. Nothing is secured at this point as I will try to paint as many components as I can individually. -
Like my Jumo 004 in 1/18 scale i had a ton of material but was still missing 360 degree view of some of the components so i had to make my best guess about the side i could not see, myself i'm not a rivet counter so i do the best i can with what i have.

You need the slicer to create the code for the printer, I use the free version of Chitubox, it does the job, Lychee and the others are good program but not 100%, They do a good job with hard surface models but figures for any of those programs still needs input from you, they don't catch every unsupported island

I have the M5 S but i don't use it for the speed. and an M3 Also the New software i use is Plasticity, only issue i have with it is exporting, I have to open it with 3D Builder and save to convert to the correct scale https://www.plasticity.xyz/

I do have a correction, it's 1/18 scale, just noticed my typo, Yes i have used that link, also got a bunch of plans and books from a guy in Holland if i remember correctly. -
So it's been awhile with lots a life stuff going on but I have been wanting to start this for awhile. After collecting drawings, plans, old hand books, pictures and on and on I start my 1/18 scale Jumo 004, a few of the smaller components i could not find enough information on or the right picture angles so i had to make my best guess. Some of the larger plumbing is 3D printed but that was pushing it. Thanks to a new 3D software "PLASTICITY" I was able to get this far in just about a month. I am basically down to plumbing, linkage and small details. Wish i could say that this is 100% on but it's not, It's the best i can so with what i have. If i ever get a chance to see one in person I would document it from end to end. I was thinking about building a Yak 15 around this but we will see.

Thanks, It's has a steam powered western theme

Hi Ryan, Don't know which software your using but here are a couple link to fix the stringing, not sure if that's the issue you are having by looking at the picture, but the print looks good.

Thanks!, now off to find something else strange and off the wall

Ok, we are going to call this Done!
