V 2 Engine Model

thingiverse

After purchasing a Moto Guzzi V7, I decided to create a model of its 90°-V2-engine. The result is Version 1.0, with subsequent versions planned to include cylinder heads, valves, and a camshaft. These additional features will require more time and effort than the simple model I've created. Despite this, the model is beautiful and has no comparable counterparts on Thingiverse so far. Print Settings: Printer Brand: RepRap Printer: l3 Supports: Yes Resolution: 0.2 Infill: 20 Notes: Printing: Print Conrod1/2, Cylinder, Piston, Piston Bold twice. The remaining parts only need to be printed once. I used my Prusa l3 printer with supports required for the crankshaft1 and cylinders. Post-Printing Assembly: Insert both crankshaft parts into the housing; they fit without glue. Place the crank on the right side. Next, attach the cylinders to the housing, ensuring hole alignment. Put the Piston Bold through the first piston hole, then through the conrod, and finally in the second piston hole (a hammer may be necessary). Push the first piston through the cylinder, securing the second conrod part on the opposite side while avoiding the crankshaft. Once the glue has dried, apply a silicone spray for lubrication. Ideas and constructive criticism are welcome in the comments section. I designed this model using Catia V5 software available to me at my university.
