I am looking for a really realistic rocket engine(see attached file). I want the engine to be from the space shuttle if at all possible. I want it to be extremely detailed (more so than the file below) and be able to be 3D printed. Below is the best rocket engine that I could find but just does not cut it with the amount of detail I am looking for.

There is a website that has what I am looking for( see link) but I do not have the funds register in order to print this out. Here is the link: Space Shuttle Main Engine 3D Model - 3D CAD Browser 2

Thanks again, Kyle

‘rocket engine’ is a misnomer… true rockets really are combustion chambers and exhaust funnels. Can you share a picture of the shuttle with the area you want circled?

Yeah I was thinking that the name was a misnomer. I fixed it now. See description for new picture of what I want.

i havent found any models yet, but I found these images :

are you specifically looking for all the extra ‘tubing’ detail that you can see around the outside?

That would end up being a complex model, but could probably be done .

I 'm not good enough to be a paid modeler, but i’d be glad to try to work something up for free… what format do you need it in? what scales?

*if theres a deadline involved, I’m not your guy, LOL… who knows when i could get something modeled with my other obligations.

Yeah I want the tubing on the outside to a degree. I still want it to be 3D printed. This is a really good pic of what i’m looking for http://www.trbimg.com/img-53336bad/turbine/la-174129-me-adv-shuttle-builders-03-cmh-jpg-20140326/1832/1832x1046 2 I have no deadline and would love for someone to work something up. If you would do this I would be extremely grateful. The format can be anything. If you can export it as a .ipt that would be amazing and not necessary but then I can edit it on autodesk inventor. An .stl file would be fine though for 3D printing.

I am sorry, but I have had a crazy couple of weeks at work. Don’t think I will get to model thism

It’s fine. Whenever you can get to it will be fine. I’m in no rush but would appreciate it if you designed this!
