That's fantastic. The rotation speed is perfect, very realistic looking.

Anyone have a lead on a Benz Bz.III engine? I have been trying to find one to print in 1/6 for a plane I'm building.

Hi guys, I did the video and added the leather, three years later, no wear on the leather or the plastic.... drive on. Looks like you are taking it to the next level. Air alone will not move the plastic motor. Headwinds and turbulence will eliminate turning power. Stick to leather or a sticky plastic. Fun thread. Jon

I was recently sent some old William Wylam drawings of several engines by Stephen M (long story) so I have been spending some of my spare time drawing up the Mercedes DIII engine in 1/5 scale. The Wylam drawings were pretty good so I've got the engine reasonably well detailed and have done a couple of check prints to see how well it would come out. After doing the prints, I made a couple of changes to the .stl files (for example, I split the inlet manifold into two parts to improve the surface finish) and added infill to all the prints so that the top surfaces didn’t “collapse”. Inevitably, this increased the weight slightly.
The entire engine would be too big to put into a model since it would take up the space where the motor, battery and esc would sit but I modelled it all anyway. There are also problems printing the crankcase and sump unit unless they are printed with a lot of infill. The entire printed engine would weigh around 250grams and this is too much weight for a 1/5 scale model to carry for no benefit so I made a modified version of only the cylinders which would be useable on most scale models as it is only that part of the engine that is exposed. I haven't included an exhaust system in the design as these varied enormously from model to model but if anyone wants to model a specific aircraft and can provide details of the exhaust, I would be happy to model that. The test print was done on a Creality Ender 3 and the six cylinders were too big to fit on the bed so the cylinders have been split into banks of three. The stl files are posted on Thingiverse: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4661707 |

Dummy engines
Hello Carrera. I have a 1/4 Scale Electric Sopwith Triplane. Would you consider printing a dummy motor for me? I believe it’s 7 1/4 inch
Thank you |
