AOG’s 3D printed Ford Flathead Completed

(1/2) > >>

AOG:
Here is my completed 3D printed Model of a Ford Flathead.







Here is a video of it running.



Please excuse the slipping “belts” those were the only rubber bands that I had and they like to slip.

Till next time.

Nice display / education model  :cheers:

AOG:
Thanks everyone, I got a lot out of this build from a material properties point of view. These 3D printed parts are pretty strong on compression but they are terrible in tension along the layer lines. As long as you orient the prints to avoid layer separation, I think that 3D prints would be viable for single use tooling and fixtures for our hobby. I also think this stuff might be viable for making former plates for copper boilers. I need to give this some thought.
