Modeling COX engines with 3D Printer
Hello
Somebody remember the topic about 3d printers?
I think I saw some messages about this ...
I´m printing COX tee dee parts and assembly the plastic engine.
Printing parts in many colours
Assembly with hard work and adjust lime
Regards
Jose

Re: Modeling COX engines with 3D Printer
Thanks Bill
I scaled up x1,5 and the size is Tee dee .15, here with black carb body.
I only have to make the yellow parts: drive plate and needle valve body.

Do you have the stl files for the engine? I'd like to try printing one.

That is an accomplishment. 3d printers are not as easy to set up as most people imagine.
While uniform objects are relatively easy, once you get the printing speed, flow of the molten plastic, layer height, nozzle temperature and bed temperature set properly! This takes time and varies by material.
However, objects that have protrusions - like the venturi - are very difficult to set up to avoid the plastic sagging before it has hardened.
I am impressed with this.

Re: Modeling COX engines with 3D Printer
The software add suports to maake protrusions. After finish yuo can remove eady.
Re: Modeling COX engines with 3D Printer
There are many parameters to adjust depent of material and geometry part.

But mostly trial and error! I use ABS plastic and this needs higher temperatures but I use it for structural parts (and it is fuel proof). I have the burns and blisters to prove it. (I can't resist touching things to see if they are hot!)

Video-run
Ja, ja, ja ... curiosity killed the cat ... Ian you do not touch hot parts with the finger.
Here the video-run of COX Tee dee .15 with PLA material.
I still do not have hot bed and can not use ABS, only PLA.
Hot bed is optional for my ·D printer Hephestos called I-Phrusa 3 of Bq
Also clear plastic show piston movements into cylinder.

Re: Modeling COX engines with 3D Printer
It has created the cylinder with transparent PLA to see the movement of the piston within the cylinder . Jmcalata and soon finished the set where the case will also be translucent so you can see the crankshaft with the rod.
Thanks Jmcalata

Hi,
I think that Admin Jacob must be move these mesages to a now Topic called: Modelling COX engines with 3D Printer.
Ok???

Done!
I need to get a 3D printer one of these days. This is really cool!
Re: Modeling COX engines with 3D Printer
Hi Jacob, thank you very much, very fast change , you are the best Admin of the world.
Tee de .15
Here the real Tee dee .15 and the plastic copy.
My first plastic model engine looks so good.

Re: Modeling COX engines with 3D Printer
Next will be ... Tee dee .09 reduced 84 % and after Tee dee .049 scaled 70 %.
I´m sure that smaller will be more dificult.
Could be good idea, paint plastic parts with silver and gold colours.

Re: Modeling COX engines with 3D Printer
Tomorrow, We will do a pretty stand.
I could make a logo like this.
There is a PLA with wood but is very expensive.
I use blue for the stand.
