Simon Chaddock Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Nothing applicable to model planes but really just an exercise in design and 3D printing with quite a bit of hand fitting work thrown in as well. Having made a single cylinder engine that would just about turn over on a lungful of puff I though I would try a bigger two cylinder version that would also be self starting. Rather too big a capacity for human 'puff' so it requires a vacuum cleaner to suck it round. All glued construction made up of 42 individual pieces and no metal in it anywhere. Reasonably happy with how it performs but ridiculously tedious to make with quite a pile of "unsatisfactory" bits created along the way but you do learn a bit about what can and cannot be printed.

McG 6969 Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 ... after some bright era of 'Depron Theology', Simon is now preparing the 'common of us mortals' to the power of 'PLA Transcendence'... ... as the wise philosopher said: "Where is this supposed to never end"...
