It would help if we knew what kind of printer you had. A 500x500mm model would have to be scaled down for a printer like my anet A8 that can only run a 200x200mm print.
Thunderbolts are very complex. If you were to make a 3D printed model 7 or ASC E class I'd say it could be done. But a thunderbolt has a belt driven blower, collector rings, an agastat, and more.
It could be done I've seen a 3D printed manual transmission model but I don't think anyone has digitized a thunderbolt with a scanner or anything. They're the 4th most complex mechanical siren out there (3 is ACA hurricane 2 is gas Mobil director and one is the Chrysler victory bell)
No one's done it yet (that I know of) but it very well could be done.
I'd start with something simpler like a mini SD 10 or something. Broken solar panel on YouTube actually made a mini working SD10. Say what you want about him but he can 3D print a working siren that's actually got a stator and isn't a speaker.
If you do get any files I'd be happy to know.
