How to Print & Assemble The JET-MN

If you want to save this How-To instruction as a pdf file (and print it out later if needed), simply copy the URL of this page and paste it to https://www.printfriendly.com/ . Printfriendly will generate a printer-friendly pdf of the page with all the texts and images for you.

Most of the STL files are really straight forward to print. All you need to do is load them into your slicer software (I use Cura), select your desirable settings (e.g. layer height, infill percentage, etc.) and slice the parts. I used 0.4mm nozzle 0.2mm layer height to print all parts for this model

So now you’ve got all your parts printed? Great! Let’s assemble the model!

This model is super simple (yet impressive) to assemble. However, before we start, you’ll need to purchase some super glue and magnets to put this model together:

• 5 mm dia x 3 mm thick N42 Neodymium magnets (LINK) | Qty: 38-off
• 10 mm dia x 2 mm thick N42 Neodymium magnets (LINK) | Qty: 16-off
• 5 mm Diameter Plain Steel Parallel Dowel Pin 36 mm (LINK) | Qty: 6-off
• Deep Groove Ball Bearing: 17mm I.D, 35mm O.D, 10mm R.W (LINK) | Qty: 2-off
• Super glue (LINK) | Qty: 1 bottle

What you need (refer to the photos below):

• 1x Engine Casing (a)
• 2x Ball Bearing (b)

Assembly process:

1. Press fit two ball bearings to the front and rear of the Engine Casing.

Note: : Use super glue if needed..

What you need (refer to the photos below):

• 1x Location Pin (a)
• 1x Fan (b)
• 1x Fan Shaft (c)

Assembly process:

1. Use super glue to permanently attach Fan to Fan Shaft.

Note: : Use Location Pin to align Fan and Fan Shaft together.

What you need (refer to the photos below):

• 1x Fan module from STEP 2
• 1x Engine Casing from STEP 1

Assembly process:

1. Slide the Fan module into the Engine Casing. The Fan Shaft should pass through both ball bearings located at the front and rear of the Engine Casing.

Note: : Ensure that the Fan module is pushed all the way into the Engine Casing. At the end of this step, the Fan should spin freely

What you need (refer to the photos below):

• 1x Nose Cone (a)
• 1x Engine Assembly from STEP 3 (b)

Assembly process:

1. Press fit the Nose Cone to the front of the Fan module

Note: : Use super glue if needed

What you need (refer to the photos below):

• 1x Exhaust Nozzle (a)
• 6x Magnets (5mm dia x 3mm thick) (highlighted in RED) (b)
• 1x Engine Assembly (c)

Assembly process:

1. Fit all magnets into the holes of the Exhaust Nozzle (use super glue if needed)
2. Place the Exhaust Nozzle at the rear of the engine

Note: the Exhaust Nozzle is held in place by magnets

What you need (refer to the photos below):

• 1x Engine from STEP 5 (a)
• 1x Stand (b)

Assembly process:

1. Simply place the engine on its stand.

Note: At this step, your bare Jet Engine is complete. To learn how to add the Nacelle to your engine, please continue to STEP 7

What you need (refer to the photos below):

• 1x Fan Cowl Door Structure (a)
• 10x Magnets (5mm dia x 3mm thick) (highlighted in RED) (b)

Assembly process:

1. Fit all magnets into the holes at the front of the Fan Cowl Door Structure (use super glue if needed)

What you need (refer to the photos below):

• 1x Fan Cowl Door Structure from STEP 7a (a)
• 18x Magnets (10mm dia x 2mm thick) (highlighted in RED) (c)
• 2x 10mm Dia Pin (highlighted in AMBER) (d)

Assembly process:

1. Glue 2x 10mm Dia Pin (highlighted in AMBER) to the Top and Bottom holes at the rear of the Fan Cowl Door Structure
2. Glue 8x magnets into the remaining holes at the rear of the Fan Cowl Door Structure

What you need (refer to the photos below):

• 1x Engine from STEP 5 (a)
• 1x Fan Cowl Door Structure from STEP 7 (b)

Assembly process:

1. Slide the Fan Cowl Door Structure from the rear of the engine towards the front of the fan case. Push it all the way forward u ntil the Fan Cowl Door
   Structure is locked in place.

Note: The Fan Cowl Door Structure is designed in a way so that it can snap into place without having to use any super glue. Pleas e D O NOT glue this
part to the engine, otherwise, you won’t be able to remove the Nacelle when needed.

What you need (refer to the photos below):

• 1x Front Intake (a)
• 1x Intake (b)
• 22x Magnets (5mm dia x 3mm thick) (highlighted in RED)

Assembly process:

1. Fit all magnets to the holes in the Front Intake and Intake ( please ensure that all magnet poles are aligned correctly!
2. Snap the two parts together

What you need (refer to the photos below):

• 1x Intake from STEP 9 (a)
• 1x Engine from STEP 8 (b)

Assembly process:

1. Snap the Intake to the front of the Fan Cowl Door Structure

What you need (refer to the photos below):

• 1x Thrust Reverser Structure LH (a)
• 8x Cascade LH (b)
• 3x Dowel Pin (c)

Assembly process:

1. Glue 8 off Cascades to the Thrust Reverser Structure
2. Insert 3 off Dowel Pins to the holes on the Thrust Reverser Structure

What you need (refer to the photos below):

• 1x Thrust Reverser Structure LH from STEP 10a (a)
• 4x Magnets (10mm dia x 2mm thick) (highlighted in RED) (b)
