Fully 3D Printed Air Engine

Last crawled date: 5 years, 10 months ago

I decided to edit Tom Stanton's air engine and make it fully 3D Printable
(remove the need for screws, bearing, etc) here is the result
I went to 70PSI, but i cannot guarantee that it will work with you!
you can download the fusion 360 file is air-engine.f3d and edit if you want

for now just follow tom stanton's tutorial, the only major thing that changes is that the connecting rod is pressure fitted , and you use superglue to connect the cylinderhead
bearing is on the file 608, choose the one best fitted for your printer, I used 608_tight
