Someone printed a working Boeing 787 Jet Engine

So yeah... this person, who clearly knows how to be awesome, printed a scaled working model of a jet engine, shown below:

 

There is an article about it on 3dprint.com

Amazing

He cant have printed it on an Ultimaker. Some of the printed parts are pretty poor.

Awesome project though.

Lol, just saw this on 9gag the other day, didn't realize it was 3D printed.

Very awesome, with all the moving parts. It is insane.

Would make one hell of a ventilator during summer

You can find the design/print process at RC-groups

I thought it might be the functional one I read about a while back

Cool, but it is obviously not a "fully working" jet engine.
