The next part of the build was to print the intake manifold parts. The main intake manifold was printed first with my normal settings and 25% infill.
Next the riser was printed.
I didn’t like the first one so I reprinted it with support and it came out better. Then I printed the remainder of the small parts that go on the manifold.
It was time to assemble the manifold. First the mating magnets were glued on.
Then the inserts for the generator were glued in.
Next, faux hardware consisting of a set screw and M3 nuts were glued onto the manifold.
Then the riser was screwed on.
The breather tube and fuel pump were assembled and mounted to the intake manifold.
Then the carburetors and air intakes were assembled and mounted.
Here is a picture of the intake manifold mounted on the engine.
Next the generator and fan parts were printed with my standard settings at 25% infill. There were no issues with the prints.
Inserts were glued into the generator mount and the mount glued to the generator.
Then the rest of the generator was assembled.
Next the fan assembly was built.
Those 2 assemblies were put to the side while I made the timing cover assembly. The parts were printed then the timing cover had it’s magnets and faux hardware installed.
The distributor and cover had their magnets glued in and the distributor was mounted to the timing cover.
The timing cover was installed onto the block and the generator and fan were installed onto the intake manifold. Here are two pictures showing the current state of the assembly.
That’s it for now. Till next time.
