Description

after several months of work, on this model alone, and working on similar concepts for years, i finally (almost) have it! an (almost) working, (almost) fully 3d printed compressed air engine! all it needs is a pencil(and mabey a hand/rubber band)! and all for the low, low price of about 60 grams of filimant, and hundreds of grams of filiment when trying to get it to work!

 

sometime here i will get it working, and repost it, but i ran out of usable print time

I have spent way to much of my life trying to get this working before halloween though, so i probably will stop working on it for a while

yes that flywheel is neccisary(at least for a single cylender version that i gave up working on the day before yesterday)

you probably do not have to use a pencil for graphite if you have better filiments or skills than i do, and evryone should have a pencil, so i am counting it as fully 3d printed

sometimes the mechanism just needs a little working in, if you just rotate the piston in the piston hole( i frogot what it was called) it will fit wayy better

i used the sunlu cmyk bundle, but esun pla+ also seemed to do pretty well(however i had suprisingly little luck with petg, given that it supposedly has some of the lowest friction of any filiment)

inspired by chronova engineerings mini steam engine

 

Boost Meidk if this goes well enough i might like finish this project and like make a clock or somthing or mabey fix my spelling
