Designs you can hold.
Display first. Measure next.
Most of our designs are prohibited until an engineering review that has not happened. The existing K16 and connecting-rod kits can be printed in plastic at full size for display, with MOCK-UP / NOT FOR USE engraved into their geometry. The switch-blank kit is for measurement. A new inclined fan export adds a separate static mock-up.

New / Static mock-up
The cooling fan, inclined for a polymer slicer
A separate 1:1 STL of the F1 cooling rotor is now prepared at a 45° tilt and translated into positive slicer coordinates. It preserves the parent concept geometry and records its source hash and transformation.
The envelope is 188.56 × 244.82 × 188.56 mm. The file contains no supports: printer clearance, adhesion, support layout and slicer settings still depend on the actual machine and polymer. Filled thermoplastic is a mock-up material; no continuous-carbon-fibre process is qualified.
01 / Display
The K16 turbo wheels, on a stand
The two wheels of the 993 Turbo's K16 turbochargers, at 1:1, with a new stand: a pocket for each wheel's back, a peg in the compressor's 6 mm bore, and the nameplate. The warning is engraved on the back of each wheel and on the stand.
The designs' own operating point is a synthetic 103,464 rpm. A plastic copy would burst far below any such speed: these are shelf pieces, never turbocharger parts.
| Piece | Size | Print time |
|---|---|---|
| Compressor wheel | Ø60.5 × 18 mm | 2 h 06 |
| Turbine wheel | Ø55 × 20 mm | 1 h 45 |
| Stand with nameplate | 150 × 95 × 8 mm | 5 h 35 |
| All on one plate | ≈ 77 g PETG | 9 h 29 |

The titanium-concept connecting rod, in plastic
Our F0 topology rod, designed for titanium, printed at 1:1 with a split cap that bolts back on with two M8 × 45 bolts. The main dimensions are the ones published for the PAUTER 993 rod: 127.0 mm between centres, a 58.0 mm big end and a 23.0 mm small end. The truss shape is our own; no commercial shape is reproduced.
Never for an engine
A plastic rod would fail at the first turn of a crankshaft, and even the titanium design has not been reviewed. About 5 hours and 65 g of PETG: something to hold, compare and check packaging with.
03 / A real fit test
The switch blank: three sizes, one answer
Our first printable file is deliberately a measurement, not a finished part. Nobody has measured the opening of a blank switch position in the 993 dashboard; the only published figure is about 19 × 31 mm, from a forum. So the kit brackets it, and whichever blank clicks in and sits flush tells the real size.
| Blank (dimples on the back) | Insert size | Against the declared opening |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 18.6 × 30.6 mm | −0.4 mm |
| 2 | 19.0 × 31.0 mm | as declared |
| 3 | 19.4 × 31.4 mm | +0.4 mm |
If none fits, that is recorded too: the bracket was wrong. Either way the result becomes the first measured dimension in the record. Face size, clip length and barb are still assumptions.
04 / The evidence
Where this comes from
Renderings and print figures are copied from our private engineering repository at revision e697398. Connecting-rod dimensions are those published by TZR Motorsport for the PAUTER 993 rod.
