YOUR PRINTER.
YOUR PARTS. YOUR PROJECT.
Here's what to check so you can start with the right setup. This is a multi-part print-and-assemble project.
Check the original scale.
You need a print bed of at least 220 × 220 mm. Keep the supplied scale so the components match the listed hardware.
Check usable print area, available height and part placement in your slicer before printing. A standard Bambu Lab A1 is suitable; an A1 mini is too small at the supplied scale.
Bring your maker skills.
This is your hands-on printing challenge. You position and orient the parts on the build plate, choose supports and settings, and run any tests needed for your own printer and filament. We recommend PLA.
Allow approximately 850 g of filament per model, depending on your settings. Use your slicer to estimate material use and print time for your own build.
Hardware. Hand tools. Care.
You'll need the listed screws, nuts and washers, plus suitable hand tools. Follow the guide for assembling the parts and finishing printed threads.
Tighten gently and follow the assembly order. Recommended for ages 12+ with appropriate supervision for tools.

BEFORE YOU START
EVERYTHING ELSE
YOU WANT TO KNOW.
Have a specific question about the project?
Talk to us on Instagram.
Is this a physical product or a digital download?
A digital download. You receive STL files to print the turbo parts, plus three PDF assembly manuals in English, Spanish and Portuguese. The printed turbos in the images and videos show what you can build; no physical item is shipped.
What's the difference between the two versions?
The complete version has the full outer housings. The quarter-cutaway version opens up a section so you can see the wheels, shaft and core inside. Both versions include internal components and are included in the same purchase.
Can the turbo spin? Does it work on an engine?
You can turn the wheel by hand and demonstrate the connected rotating parts. This is a mechanical display and learning model. It is not designed to operate as an engine turbocharger.
Which printers and materials can I use?
Use a printer with a minimum 220 × 220 mm print bed. Check its usable print area, height and the placement of individual parts in your slicer. A standard Bambu Lab A1 is suitable; an A1 mini is too small at the original scale. We recommend PLA. You choose and test the orientation, supports and printing settings for your own machine and filament.
Do I need an AMS or a multi-color printer?
The turbo is made from separate parts. You can use different filament colors for different components; the colors shown are examples of our builds. The STL format contains geometry rather than the blue, gray and gold appearance shown in the photos.
Can I resize the files?
The manual recommends keeping the supplied scale. Resizing also changes hole sizes, thread geometry and the fit with the listed screws and hardware. The supplied assembly instructions are based on the original scale.
Is it a print-in-place model?
No. You print the components separately and assemble them following the manual. The build uses screws, nuts and washers. Follow the illustrated assembly sequence.
How much filament and printing time will I need?
Estimated filament use is approximately 850 g per model. The actual amount and printing time depend on your printer, material, layer height, infill, supports and other settings. We recommend PLA; use your slicer's estimates for your own setup.
Can I buy on my phone and download later?
Yes. Gumroad provides download access after payment and sends a link to your email. Open that link on your computer when you're ready to download and prepare the parts for printing.
Can I sell the printed turbo or share the STL?
You may sell the physical models you print. You may not share, resell, upload, give away or otherwise transfer the STL files to other people.
Which languages are the manuals available in?
Your download includes three assembly manuals: English, Spanish and Portuguese. The English edition shown in the previews has 31 pages and 24 illustrated assembly steps. Choose the language you prefer and follow the guide.
