Re: Modeling COX engines with 3D Printer
That is an accomplishment. 3d printers are not as easy to set up as most people imagine.
While uniform objects are relatively easy, once you get the printing speed, flow of the molten plastic, layer height, nozzle temperature and bed temperature set properly! This takes time and varies by material.
However, objects that have protrusions - like the venturi - are very difficult to set up to avoid the plastic sagging before it has hardened.
I am impressed with this.

The software add suports to maake protrusions. After finish yuo can remove eady.

There are many parameters to adjust depent of material and geometry part.

But mostly trial and error! I use ABS plastic and this needs higher temperatures but I use it for structural parts (and it is fuel proof). I have the burns and blisters to prove it. (I can't resist touching things to see if they are hot!)

Video-run
Ja, ja, ja ... curiosity killed the cat ... Ian you do not touch hot parts with the finger.
Here the video-run of COX Tee dee .15 with PLA material.
I still do not have hot bed and can not use ABS, only PLA.
Hot bed is optional for my ·D printer Hephestos called I-Phrusa 3 of Bq
Also clear plastic show piston movements into cylinder.

Re: Modeling COX engines with 3D Printer
It has created the cylinder with transparent PLA to see the movement of the piston within the cylinder . Jmcalata and soon finished the set where the case will also be translucent so you can see the crankshaft with the rod.
Thanks Jmcalata

Hi,
I think that Admin Jacob must be move these mesages to a now Topic called: Modelling COX engines with 3D Printer.
Ok???

Done!
I need to get a 3D printer one of these days. This is really cool!
Re: Modeling COX engines with 3D Printer
Hi Jacob, thank you very much, very fast change , you are the best Admin of the world.
Re: Modeling COX engines with 3D Printer
It does Look GOOD and you should bee proud very nice work (whats next ) getback

Re: Modeling COX engines with 3D Printer
Cool deal are the cly screwed on ? if so I would be crazy enough to try and start on (with just a prime) (tight fit cyl. piston?) I could not stand it after the build , just me . getback
