  • Check out my new Engine.

    All 3D printed but for the bearings and fasteners. Took me about a month to put all this together and print out. Took 30 hours to just print the block out. It was a blast to put together though.

    Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

    Jim that's really interesting and the dedication that it took to create this and the time spent, i'll bet you enjoyed this project.

    Thanks for sharing.
    An idea can turn to dust or magic, depending on the talent that rubs against it.

            If you had a metal 3D printer and a sintering oven, you could make a full size engine to drive around with.

                    very cool. would love to have a plastic full size shell of the B6T or BP block/head and G trans with mounting lugs. i'd be able to position by hand for mock up in the festiva engine compartment and find the best position for lowering and moving forward and address potential interferences before installing the real thing. but the limited bed size of a home printer would mean days of printing and many pieces to fit together.
