Engine w/ Working Cam Shaft & Valves

thingiverse

Learn about how an engine works! this is a great model for teaching and learning about internal combustion engines. this shows how the cam shaft and valves work together to make an engine work! I made this in blender in a couple of nights. printed out on my Printrbot Simple 2014 at 200 microns, higher resolution shouldn't be necessary but will make it look better. You are definitely going to want to size up the models. The bigger the better, as it will keep the belt from slipping.

Instructions When assembling, make sure to be generous with the superglue to keep the parts from breaking adhesion. PLEASE PUT THE BELT ON THE PULLEYS BEFORE YOU ADD THE CAM AND CRANKSHAFT BRACKET! Actual instructions coming probably sometime maybe.
