It's not gone yet, I think the problem is you can't see it from were you are at. I placed a bid on it if I win I will let you know, you'll get first dibs for all the help you gave me on the Mossie.

Jeff Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Ron, don't worry about printing a 'round ' engine, just install some batteries... https://vancouverisland.ctvnews.ca/harbour-air-to-test-fly-world-s-first-electric-plane-tuesday-1.4721986 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrankyCrafstman Posted December 10, 2019 Author Share Posted December 10, 2019 That would be cool, also I imagine that the instrument panel would be a lot simpler. Ron G 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't let the wife know you are getting a new beaver...lol.I'll have to figure out what its going to cost to send it down under, so I only want what it cost me plus what shipping is. Also you have to do a build thread on it. Ron G 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HubertB Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Well, I had to go back to work and switch-on the PC on which I do Solidworks' designs, but I recovered some screen captures of what I did 4 years ago. The cylinder design is not complete (and has some bugs) and you will notice that I even "assembled" one cylinder in a reverse way . That gives you an idea of what I had achieved so far. The design is in 1/32 scale. Hubert 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fidd88 Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 On 12/3/2019 at 11:11 PM, CrankyCrafstman said: Hey all I might be using this for the engine. It all depends on how the 3D model will print. I'm going to try doing it in one piece and also in individual parts. I won't be doing the spark plug wires, oil cross-over tubes or the push rods. I will be adding those using ANYZ plugs and wires along with small Albion tubing. Not sure how I will be doing the oil cross-over tubes yet. So what do you think? I did another post on making these in different scales and maybe selling them. Ron G Considering the scale at which you're working, and the fineness of some of the parts, in my experience of 3d printing in SLS Nylon, I think you might be better off printing it in one piece, as the very thin components will at least have some support. On the other hand, depending on the interval at scale, the cooling fins on the heads and cylinders will be very difficult to render, and if they do, will likely be filled with powder, requiring some very gentle old-toothbrush work to bring out. In that situation, the flat strips on the front of the engine may be in the way... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomTheGeek Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Looking good! I printed that same Wasp Jr model for my build, it came out pretty rough but once it was cleaned up and painted it looks ok.
