Faux Radial Engine For RC Planes Models

Thanks for taking a look! If you enjoy it enough to part with some cash, feel free to toss something into the tip jar - I'd really appreciate it! And don't be shy about coming back if you decide to 3D print one; I'm dying to see how it turns out. As an added bonus, this project was a labor of love - my dad got one as a Christmas gift. A cut-out has been cleverly designed at the bottom to leave space for the installation of a real engine. This little gem showcases my resourcefulness: I repurposed aluminum wire from discarded electrical service lines to create the rods. The result is an eco-friendly and visually appealing design. You can print out these instructions using standard ABS with supports, employing a 1% infill and a .2mm step height for the best results. To ensure seamless adhesion, don't forget to slather some ABS/Acetone Slurry onto the Kapton tape - it makes all the difference!
