Rotary Vee motor

thingiverse

This is a model of a rotary-vee motor. A very unusual motor configuration with little practical application, according to NASA. This is a demonstration model that was brought to my attention on a post by thingiuser jamesdavid on my v-12 motor. Here is the link he posted: http://ntrs.nasa.gov/archive/nasa/casi.ntrs.nasa.gov/19890016636_1989016636.pdf Instructions Right now it needs to be printed with soluble support as a complete model but I will be laying out the parts tray to be printed separately on a TOM or Replicator etc, so check back. I don't quite know what would be appropriate for the rods as they won't print well, too thin and tall. (could scale them perhaps) I was going to use acrylic rods and rezn-bond them together. The body and cylinders will print just fine. (I will upload them as separate files too) I have provided the source file for you to play should it strike you to do so. I model in Rhino. Stay tuned for my printing results! Suggestions are welcome!
