ME-262 WWII Jet

I downloaded this file off of Grabcad. The author of this version is Hans de Ridder who made some changes to the original by Ferdi Kahraman. I repaired some issues to the model and made printing possible and easier. See link https://grabcad.com/library/me262-schwalbe

*Update 1-7-22* Per the previous update below I have made the same corrections to the ezprint version (now called me262_improved_split) which splits the model to print entirely without supports. I have also added square pins and mating holes to the design to aid in accurate assembly when gluing together.

*Updated 1-6-22* Added file me262_corrected_full. The nacelles had gaps at each end resulting in floating parts of the solid. This was the way the original model was and I never noticed it. So I closed off the nacelles properly at each end and it should result in better prints for the full version.

I've uploaded the full model, and then a split version that I created to make 3D printing it easy. Just glue all the pieces together, sand, prime and paint.

It's best to use a small diameter nozzle for this, especially if you scale it down. I printed this at about 70% and had to reduce my extrusion width to .3mm to capture all the details.
