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.
If you have any questions, please leave them in the comments below.
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.

lol
I don’t think I have seen something this AWESOME 3d printed before
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.
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.
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
I used to work in a paper mill. 900 lb. psi boiler that burnt pulverized coal, the back pressure run steam turbine that generated more than half the electric we used. Company closed in 2000, everything was scrapped, such a waste of machinery, really sad.
Lots of cool machinery gets scrapped, and then 100 years later people figure that it would have been nice to keep a few machines in working condition, but mankind just rarely thinks about the coming generations unfortunately
The real beauty is that they constructed all of this without a PC, chatGPT or even a Calculator. Hard to imagine nowadays...
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?
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!
I can almost guarantee that this will be the coolest thing I see all day.👍 Well done.
The titanic had over 44,000hp
So the Britannic® had 46,000 horsepower? Because her central propeller had 18,000 shp
@@betzykayeandres8461No, Britannic had a 16,500shp turbine, where Titanic and Olympic had the 16,000shp model
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)
Maybe a vintage version of the engines? Like a model sized one powder by steam like a sterling engine with vintage parts
Maybe a vintage version of the engines? Like a model sized one powder by steam like a sterling engine with vintage parts
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.
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
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.
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
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 . ua-cam.com/video/Vcn3khZDm04/v-deo.html
Impressive engineering, I would not have thought it possible! The wooden base is pretty cool too!
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.
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 :-)
That's impressive! You spent last winter well. Thanks.
WOW 😍 I absolutely LOVE it.
That is a really nice print. 🙂
This is so cool, thanks for the video! I loved how you could hear the engine slow when you removed the covers. Fascinating.
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.
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.
“Ice berg right ahead” throws into all ahead full haha. Awesome model
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.
Watching heavy machinery is so satisfying, even at the scale model level
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 .
0:44: it was already in Reverse.
0:48: NOW is going Forward.
(look at propeller's direction of movement.)
Ну, судя по изначальному положению поршней, он изначально двигался вперёд(в противоположную сторону он крутился из-за того, что в цилиндрах образовывался вакуум - эффект от пара под любым давлением обратный)
Just need to 3D print a scale boiler to go with this! Thanks for sharing!
Probably the worlds coolest fan
Totally amazing. Thanks for creating this and sharing it with the world.
That is an incredibly impressive piece of engineering!
Amazing what a 3D printer can do....wonderful result.....
Absolutely beautiful ty for your post and the time in building this
You have made yourself great and stylish fan for these hot summers ...
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.
Now you half to print a titanic shell with the working engines that be the best thing ever.
Good job guy! I am totally impressed!
we need more videos with this engine !
Marvellous work to bring back this master piece of the ship
Wow, that is amazing!
You're really talented man!
Thanks
0:40 this action may have actually doomed her. In ordering full astern when avoiding the berg, Officer Murdoch caused titanic to slow down, thus slowing the speed in which titanic would turn.
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
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
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?
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.
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.
Very well made, including the reversing device. I do think that the connection of the compressed air is on the side of the low pressure exhaust towards the turbo. But never mind, it works! 😃
You are correct, the models high pressure input line is not connted but the exhaust. Therefore, I am using my vacuum to have a source of low pressure.
Beautiful Model, Amazing Design and Engineering.
The propeller size is much larger compared to the engine than I expected!
You Sir have too much free time. Excellent!
Understanding technology creativity and applying it. Super job sir
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.
Imagine 3d printing an entire working titanic like this
This is super cool!
Imagine building it out of metal and put it in a car😀
Creating a steam car similar to the old 1910s steam cars would be amazing!
That would make the car so heavy 😄
Cars aren't ships
the first one was actually reverse though!! i've never imagined the whole setup like this before.
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.
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.
"Iceberg, right ahead!" ... and you switch from reverse to forward 🤣🤣 Super job though 👍
Woops :D
That is awesome! I have my sights set on printing a V8 race engine like that at some point.
..A true genius I must say ! 👌🏼👍🏼💙
excellent work ! We have all the data now to make it in brass and steel ! use it with steam power and put the engine into my 1:100 titanic model scratchbuild. I ve enough work for these 10 next years ! Thanks you Sir Berlin to share your data ! Titanic community appreciate your help ! Kind regards from France ! Manu
Wow!
1/100 scale?
That's a big one, close to 9 feet. Will it be an RC model, and are you planning for it to actually run on steam? That sounds brilliant. I would love to hear more about your model.
Wow what a clever place to put the regulator, just ABOVE THE PROPELLER!!! Deserves an Oscar award 😂💀💀
Fascinating !
Bravo !
Greeting from France
badass! although she was in reverse at the start. you've run aground!
Incredible. Popped up on my YT homepage and subbed immediately!
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 🙃
Ok that's officially awesome!!
Excellent, awesome model my fright.
Much respect.
Amazing! I wish you could put a figure of a man at the same scale beside it. That would give us a true idea of the scale of this engine
Awesome ❤
This is really cool great job, next is the LP turbine! Lol
That would be a really cool fan to have in your room
Excellent ! 👍🏼 Now all you have to do is build the rest of the ship around it !
Full ship next? Removable sections to show interiors. Same scale......
Pretty cool man, nice job on this.
This is AMAZING!
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.
while I am awestruck by the model, I don't believe this alone captures the true immensity of the structure. A human being, and I'm talking a full size ship's mechanical officer, would stand only as tall as the bottom base of these structures. Now imagine what would twin sets of these look like alongside each other, in ahull measuring over 70 feet tall.
If only I had a 3D printer. What a fantastic project.
Impressive, that is all I can say, well done
Even if this wasn't a replica of titanics engines it is definitely a very beautiful replica of typical piston driven propellers.
simply magnificent
Nice! I would like to see 'all of her' someday!
Me to 🙂
That was really cool. Awesome work 🤘
Too beautiful, congratulations 👏👏👏
Mensch!!! Das ist Ausgezeichnet !! Sehr gut!!
WOW !!! Well done.
yoooooooooooooooooo this is so cool!!!!!!!!!!!! I'll have to print it!!!!!!!!
This is utterly incredible love it
THAT'S REALLY COOL!
Very cool, great work
"I want you to print me like one of your French STLs...."
I like what I see ... now I'm waiting for the full, built to scale model of the entire ship after you put 2 of these bad boys in her and test her maiden voyage on film!
I would pay to have this delivered as a kit.
that is absolutly freaken awsome!👍🏻🖖🏻😉
The music gives me High on Life vibes. Seriously
is the engine actually triple expansion or does each of the cylinders get the same airflow? cause if so over long periods of time with each of the different sized cylinders getting the same pressure the larger cyliunders will make more power than the other cylinders, but being fixed to the same crankshaft it could cause excess wear on the cranks and crankshaft. atmospheric pressure is only 14 psi, but 14 psi can quickly add up
Probably this engine would not last very long, but also mostly because it is a lot of plastic sliding against more plastic. But the air is definitely going through all the cylinders, since you can still feel a vacuum at the high pressure feed line of the engine.
