| Re: 3D Printed Engine Parts? Thanks. Its a slow learning process, and now that I'm back to work, it's going to be a bit slower. lol Quote:
I think I agree with Ots. The size of the distributor is a bit large. maybe more 1/8th where the engine is more 1/10th to my old eyes. Quote:
Ya, the more I see it the more I agree with you on the distributor being a bit large. Looking forward to your solution. There are a few 3d engines on Thingiverse and at least one had a distributor with it. The oil filter and other parts are close, but maybe a smidge small, so maybe that distributor would be a fit with a little modding." Will try to get some time this week to do more details and get this one close enough for Government Work. lol | ||

| Re: 3D Printed Engine Parts? Two 1/10 scale small block D-caps from two different manufacturers. The good news is we have choices! |

| Re: 3D Printed Engine Parts? I'm no scale guy but this is a bit more of what I had in mind for my TK SB. |

Fan is 3D printed - and not too fancy as I'm new at the 3D printing stuff. Plug wires are 8 - 8.5 mm in diameter which roughly scales down to .030" to .035". This is 28 gauge wire which, with insulation, comes out in that diameter range. I think it looks a bit more realistic than the tubing RC4WD supplies with their distributor cap - that looks more like heater hose. This will sit in my TK with a '46 Dodge body with the hood sides removed so it can be seen. |

These colored large paperclips look pretty good just a bit rigid obviously. I probably have some small ga wire around here I could use. Would be easier then bending these clips up, and it does look more scale/realistic as well. | |

| Re: 3D Printed Engine Parts?
hey all, i have been working on the kit engine. for the distributor i dremeled the lip that presses into the cap and it fits very snug inside the cap and brought it down to a good height. I designed a valve cover in tinkercad to mimick a 572 chev big block. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5318631 |

| Re: 3D Printed Engine Parts?
It might not matter to you but with those BB valve covers the exhaust port pattern still gives it away as a SB. Not a big deal though.

Plan to spend some time this weekend on it and get to other bits. Nice work on the Valve cover. You should make it with the 572 on the cover, and do a 496 version as well. or make those as an add-on plate that can be glued on if wanted. | |

| Re: 3D Printed Engine Parts?
thank you, yea i know the heads have the lumps that looks like "fuelie" heads and other SB markings but i wanted to 3d print as many things i can to change it up. I added fuel rails because the intake looks like a holley efi intake and blocked off the heater core outlets. I even stuck with the 18436572 firing order lol. |
