thingiverse

THIS IS A WORKING MODEL OF A HORIZONTAL DOUBLE ACTING SINGLE CYLINDER STEAM ENGINE. DESIGNED, PRINTED, TESTED, AND REFINED BY MYSELF. GOAL OF THIS PROJECT WAS TO CREATE A WORKING AND AESTHETICALLY PLEASING MODEL STEAM ENGINE USING ALL PRINTED PARTS THAT COULD VERY EASILY BE PRINTED USING BASIC SLICER AND PRINTER SETTINGS AND MINIMAL HARDWARE. BEING THERE IS NO USE OF BEARINGS OR SEALS, PARTS WILL NEED PARTIALLY DRILLED, SANDED, AND/OR FILED TO FIT SUCH AS THE PISTON AND VALVE IN THE CYLINDER, THE CRANKSHAFT IN THE BASE, ETC. TO ASSEMBLE THIS ENGINE YOU WILL NEED SEVEN (7) M3X16 CAP HEAD SCREWS, EIGHT (8) M3X12 CAP HEAD SCREWS, TWO (2) M2X12 CAP HEAD SCREWS AND A SMALL FILE, MEDIUM GRIT SAND PAPER, AND A BASIC SET OF DRILL BITS. NO GLUE, GASKETS, OR BEARINGS. EVERYTHING CAN BE PRINTED WITH 10%-100% INFILL AND NO SUPPORTS IF PRINTED IN THE CORRECT ORIENTATION. ALL PARTS ARE IN THE CORRECT PRINTING ORIENTATION. TWO OF THE INTAKE/EXHAUST PIPES ARE NEEDED. 17 PARTS IN TOTAL.
