Formula one (F1) PISTON

thingiverse

Hi. I'm a noob in 3D printing, but a i'm mechanical designer for quite few years... I have worked in various field of industry, including formula one engine design. This model is an actual piston from a 2014 V6 turbocharged F1 engine. I won't tell you wich brand, for obvious confidentiality reasons. The quality of the model is voluntarily low, so it can't be measured precisely. This thing is confidential and lots of great minds have put their talent to design this... I didn't try to print this model, since it's a fairly complicated piece of engineering and as i told, i'm a noob in 3D printing :) take a close look to the model, i think it will need supports, and there is some significants gaps too. Anyway, if somebody try to print this, i'd be happy to read a feedback ! I also have some other interesting parts, like rods, crankshaft, etc... Enjoy !
