Printed from recycled PET bottles. Works well 👍

Another awesome LoboCNC creation. It was easy to print and fun to assemble, all parts fit perfectly together. The slicer's "split into parts" function was new to me, thanks for pointing it out. I used honeycomb infill and TPU for the nozzle.
Have not tested it yet, though.
Thank you for sharing your model!
Prusament PLA Jet Black and 3DJAKE TPU A95 orange

Didn’t quite get the tolerances right so I melted the shaft and messed it up, I’m gonna try and print another turbine and shaft.

I'm not able to split the body into parts, it just stays as one piece. Any ideas ?

EDIT: I got it , I had to load the body first for some odd reason, I had the gears on there and it wouldnt split the body properly. (edited)

Printing the grill was tricky, had to be sliced in a separate file, because I couldn't find a way in the Prusa Slicer to treat the two parts of the body with different printsettings. Grill 5% larger, glued in also went well.

@RPK_196240 Yeah, Prusaslicer kind of buries where you change settings for just one part. With the body selected, first click on the "Split into Parts" button at the top of the viewing window. In the properties panel on the right, you should then see two separate sub-parts for the body. Right-click on the grill sub-part and you should see options for altering the layers and perimeters and also for altering the infill. (Further down in the pop-up menu, there's also the option to add additional settings changes.) (edited)

@LoboCNC
Thanks a lot, I found it! Was looking for it only in the top menu bar, it's indeed well hidden! Best regards.
