This is the biggest working 3D printed engine model in the world. It is also my most complex and time consuming project ever. Originally, the engine was designed to be printed at a scale of 1:75. But in an effort of pure madness, I started printing every part scaled up by 200%. I spent way more time on this project than I ever anticipated. But seeing it finally running makes me extremely happy and proud.

I’d love to see this printer in metal infused filaments! Imagine if the propellor actually looked like real bronze!
Would be super cool for sure. But I already like the color of this filament a lot. People already asked me if the engine is made of real metal
You can do that more easily with Tamyia scale model paint
Probably would be easier to just negative mould it and pour it via actual metal. Depending on the printer...sintering infused filaments is weird.

Actually, since my last comment, I found a channel called Alex Lab (the one doing the Iron Man Suit), and he goes on to some detail on how you can deposit a layer of metal on top of any 3D print.
So you could have a 0.3 - 0.5mm layer of copper on top that would be just as hard to scratch and damage as any solid metal piece.
I don’t think I have seen something this AWESOME 3d printed before
This is extremely cool. The addition of the propeller is super cool. Imagine somebody 3-D printing this in a metal printer and cleaning it up to work on real steam.
Would be awesome. I hope some day someone will do it
My printer can’t print metal, but I do have a metal foundry from Devil’s Forge. When I’m done printing mine, I’m going to see if I can go about casting it in metal for this very reason. I wanna see it run with steam
@@johnnavarre2384 That sounds extremely cool. I might do the same at some point.
@@johnnavarre2384 Best of luck with that! Hope it goes well. Casting all the parts would be a lot of work, but machining them all to assemble it will be the real challenge. Keep us posted!
@@johnnavarre2384 Hope you can get it to work. That'd be awesome to have a working steam driven replica of these Olympic class engines.
UNREAL!!!!
Thank you. So glad you like my work. I also enjoyed many of your videos over the last years.
@@olivier.berlin gave you a shoutout at the end of my last video.
The titanic had over 44,000hp
The amount of ideas going to my head with this is insane.The thought of a model titanic with functioning engines would be unreal. Just not there yet (i think)
This is just FANTASTIC!!!!! Thank you for making this! What a great thing to see, and imagine as it's full-scale counterpart! What marvelous engineering!
This is so cool, thanks for the video! I loved how you could hear the engine slow when you removed the covers. Fascinating.
I can almost guarantee that this will be the coolest thing I see all day.👍 Well done.
I've always been impressed with Titanic's engine layout. Quadruple expansion engines for the raw power and then the low pressure turbine to use the exhaust for the central propeller. Simple yet ingenious for 20th century design
WOW 😍 I absolutely LOVE it.
That is a really nice print. 🙂
Impressive engineering, I would not have thought it possible! The wooden base is pretty cool too!
I love how it actually kinda sounds like the original thing, just less loud, is there a version available where you can install a crank?
Yes, a crank is actually included in the files.
@@olivier.berlincan I have a link to the files to print this?
In the description
@@captainslow2883 oh thanks!
When did you hear the original?
I’m amazed at how much you put into this it’s a great way to see how the engines worked on the Titanic and her sisters Olympic and Britannic.
As a lover of old Engines and a 3D printer myself this is one of the best prints I've ever seen. Stunning!!
If you like old engines and 3D printing you might have a look at this . ruclips.net/video/Vcn3khZDm04/видео.html
That's impressive! You spent last winter well. Thanks.
Nicely done, Olivier. When I was a kid in Auckland, New Zealand we would occasionally ride across the harbor in a ferry with a triple expansion steam engine.
Probably the worlds coolest fan
Dude this is so frickin cool! Doesn’t even look 3D printed! And the detail of the top covers and ridges on the sides, etc just makes it look super authentic! Super sweet model man! Do ya just attach a vacuum to it or?
Absolutely beautiful ty for your post and the time in building this
Oh my god!!! Thats incredible. Amazing
Thank you so much! I am glad you like it. Getting positive feedback from a fellow Titanic nerd is always nice :-)
They’re beautiful engines. Have you thought about trying Titanic’s low pressure turbine engine? Might be quite interesting.
What he has created here is incredible, but i think if he were able to successfully produce a Parsons turbine like the one on the Titanic to the same scale, he would become famous!
@@ministryofanti-feminism1493 Most certainly.
I really like this engine design you made. I will be printing this as soon as I get my large format printer. In the mean time I will be printing parts on my X1C.
Thank you very much for this video.
I love this. Would love to see this in the dual engine and turbine setup. Rout the exhaust from the main engines through the turbine. Thats how Titanics were.
That would be cool to see set up using a vacuum
Wow, that is amazing!
You're really talented man!
Thanks
Excellent job! Scaling up is exactly what I want to do. As big as possible lol I would also like to see it printed in high-temp resin and ran on steam. Maybe one day
@Shannon Smith stainless is needlessly heavy and expensive.
That was really cool. Awesome work 🤘
Pretty cool man, nice job on this.
That is an incredibly impressive piece of engineering!
Wow that’s amazing. Good job!
Excellent work. I will be buying the stls as soon as I have the time to take on the project!
Yes, you should definitely plan some time for this project. But then it is a ton of fun
Good job guy! I am totally impressed!
Marvellous work to bring back this master piece of the ship
So I have been building engines or model engines that run on steam or external combustion such a Stirlings/Flame lickers and air and gasoline, etc. and I never cared much for plastic 3-D printed engines but I have to say this one is really cool and would love to have it in my collection of engines.
This is the nicest I’ve ever seen, and you did a great job on this .
This is utterly incredible love it
You Sir have too much free time. Excellent!
Beautiful Model, Amazing Design and Engineering.
this is a really really cool print. I would like to see you print out the whole ship to the scale of the engines so you can put the engines in the boat, that would be cool but it would take hours
Just stick it in a 1:200 scale trumpeter model.
@@jimmiles33 then put it in water to sail . Rip titanic despite you being a awesome shipwreck still if only you didn't die like you did. How does a random 🧊 just happen to be there and especially in yo path even?? 🤨
Right. Then let it sink to the bottom of the sea. 103 meters would be the correct depth.
it was in a ice field
@@mistylover7398
ship, not boat
Awesome, nice work!
I bought this from you on Reddit a long time ago. Can’t wait to print and use for a 1:350 wreck model.
Would love to see a picture of that.
Excellent, awesome model my fright.
In this dimension that you created with this model, the torque generated by such a displacement is indeed powerful enough, if built and functional, to connect machines and perform various tasks. It's incredible to think about the tremendous force it must have had in its original dimensions.
Just need to 3D print a scale boiler to go with this! Thanks for sharing!
Impressive, that is all I can say, well done
👍👍this is absolute class well done always been fasinated by the titanic so to see this is awesome
You have made yourself great and stylish fan for these hot summers ...
Fascinating !
Bravo !
Greeting from France
This is really amazing!!
Very cool, great work
Now that is cool ! Well done. 🚢
This is AMAZING!
Very nice. Thanks for this.
WOW !!! Well done.
Outstanding!
Ok that's officially awesome!!
good morning Olivier! I bought your beautiful model over a year ago and finally printed it with my resin printer. I am happy with the quality of the molded parts but am having great difficulty assembling the camshaft and putting the connecting rods in the correct positions to function properly in motion. you can send me the instructions by email, or put them on the site from where we download the model, accompanied by explanatory images of the correct chronological assembly sequence of the parts in question. A thousand thanks. Alex and congratulations again.
Incredible. Popped up on my YT homepage and subbed immediately!
Watching heavy machinery is so satisfying, even at the scale model level
Very cool,well done.
Well done!!
Too beautiful, congratulations 👏👏👏
That is really cool!
I never realized the Titanic's props were powered by 3 primary pistons, 1 secondary piston, and 7 tertiary pistons each. That is a lot of power for a single reciprocating engine.
i wouldn't really call it a "secondary piston" all 4 are main pistons, hence the name quadruple expansion
Incredible!
Understanding technology creativity and applying it. Super job sir
THAT'S REALLY COOL!
Beautiful.
I'm amazed at the scaling of the prop to the motor, The engine was reported as huge, that makes the prop unbelievably big. it must have run way slower than a lot of your shots.
Beautiful!
wonderful stuff.
wonderful job on this. /cheers
Mensch!!! Das ist Ausgezeichnet !! Sehr gut!!
simply magnificent
very educational, thanks
0:44: it was already in Reverse.
0:48: NOW is going Forward.
(look at propeller's direction of movement.)
That is awesome! I have my sights set on printing a V8 race engine like that at some point.
Now you half to print a titanic shell with the working engines that be the best thing ever.
This is so very cool and inspiring!
Being a great fan of reciprocating steam, I AM a tad disappointed that the valve linkage and eccentric rods are not part of the model.
..A true genius I must say ! 👌🏼👍🏼💙
Very cool!
that is absolutly freaken awsome!👍🏻🖖🏻😉
That's very cool.
Of course, the tailshafts were a bit longer...
Now for some little furnaces and boilers so it can use steam.
Joking aside, excellent work! It really shows what a big ol' steam engine does- very simple, and much like a 4-cylinder internal combustion engine mechanically. The expanding gases come from steam generated outside the cylinders instead of from explosions inside of it, but the pistons, rods, and crank are similar.
Awesome ❤
beautiful!
Much respect.
That is so cool !!
AWESOME !!!!!
Excellent ! 👍🏼 Now all you have to do is build the rest of the ship around it !
Beautiful
we need more videos with this engine !
Incredible! 😎
Incredible.
duude you should make a huge 3d printed titanic and then put the engine in that would be so cool and also put it in water that would be great thank you!
That thing would be massive, but probably pretty cool. Also you need to vacuum cleaners on the ship to power the engines 🙃
really cool!! be really neat if you started building the rest of the boiler system/ controls
Very cool! 👍🏼👍🏼
“Ice berg right ahead” throws into all ahead full haha. Awesome model
amazing!
So your reversing lever down is forward. In the beginning of the video, the propeller was pulling, and when you engaged the reverser, it started pushing.
Damn bro, that's so kewl!!! It really looks that part, and especially the industrial styling in the beams, bulkheads, Y shaped supports, etc. Incredible!!
By the way, how is it possible for it to still work when you've removed all the cylinder covers? My intuition says that that should be IMPOSSIBRU!
Steam engines usually are designed so that pressure is not only applied from the top on the downstroke, but also from the bottom in the upstroke, so with the covers removed, the engine is being driven by the upstroke pressure from underneath. It is essentially missing half of its "cylinders" so it runs noticeably slower.
@@SaitekFreak999 Cool! I had absolutely no idea about that! Thanks for the clarification :)
@@SaitekFreak999 You are absolutely right. But nonetheless, I must say I did not expect the engine to run with open cylinders when I designed it.
