I'm planning on printing the covers with Polymaker Polysmooth transparent PLA. Great Model. Can't wait to get it in the mail.

[@paulmyfinger]

Oooh nice. Pls share your settings if you have to change them

[@bjaminf113]

Any way you could post a video of the results?? I'm thinking of printing g this for a couple of homeschoolers!

[@ChrisKoerner]

I'd replace certain covers with acrylic so one can see the workings on the inside.

[@kawu42]

Damn, that's cool!

[@Truth_Spoken]

Awesome

[@sethjones5250]

Two things.
1. If it isn't going to run off compressed air, and has to be driven by an electric motor, then you need to make more parts transparent or put windows in it to see the moving parts.
2. I'd like to see a 9 cylinder radial version.

[@IsaacSchultz-lz8jc]

You can print it in any color you know it’s all up to you

[@TheRattleSnake3145]

whats the point of it being motorized if the moving parts cant be seen?

[@nakleh]

the moving part covers are all held on by magnets, so you can easily remove them to see the moving parts

I do have the same issues with too much friction/tension in the system, so the DC Motor is not able to do a full spin. I lubricated all moving parts, but still that issue. Kinda sad, since the idea and the design is great. An improved DC Motor would fix this for sure, because it is really weak.

[@WilkoVehreke]

The model is really impressive. Those parts do look as clean as a resin print. Are they? Or did they get some post-processing?

[@jens-3949]

I just printed the model in grey. Looks exactly like in the video, no post processing required. Parts fit perfectly fine and even the supports can be removed without any issues. Impressive!

[@WilkoVehreke]

@@jens-3949That's really impressive. Thank you for sharing your experience.

[@jakemosely9377]

All of the files for the bambu lab kits have printed flawlessly for me. It’s a great machine.

[@zviratko]

@@jens-3949 I wonder if I sliced it wrong (I did 3 walls and gyroid, otherwise it's mostly stock), or if it's my choice of PLA (I didn't use Bambu PLA). I had to file a lot, it tends to bind, tight fits everywhere...

[@Eckx1084]

@@zviratko One key thing to remember is making sure your PLA is as dry as possible. I started drying all my filament before printing anything and it has resulted in MUCH better outcomes. I am really considering building a workshop space and putting in a huge dehumidifier and climate control for all my stuff at this point because it's so much better.

[@rjhanny]

anyone have a video of this in action?

[@peterhutzler]

Would it be possible to get assembly instructions as a PDF? The part numbers would be important to me as parts are assembled in the video without specifying the part or plate number. Or a summary of how the part number corresponds to this part. Many thanks in advance!
Wäre es möglich eine Anleitung zum Zusammenbau als PDF zu bekommen? Wichtig wären mir die Teilenummern da im Video Teile zusammengebaut werden ohne Angabe der Teile- oder Plattennummer. Oder eine Zusammenfassung wie Teilenummer so entspricht diesem Teil. Vielen Dank im Voraus!

[@Townshed55]

real ones know when the music slows down at 3 mins it's time to get lit

[@nakleh]

When you say "CV" glue- do you mean "CA" glue?

[@infiniteone11]

Very likely. CA - Cyanoacrylate - superglue, for the magnets, I assume

[@zviratko]

Printed this on my X1C, it does move, but not that great. I think it will work much better if I get around reprinting it in PETG instead of PLA (I already switched few parts to PETG for it to even work). Also needed some filing and lubrication for the motor to be even able to spin it. It's an impressive model, but I don't think it's the perfect showcase for 3D printing with all the screws and tight fits. Holding my fingers crossed for a community remix with printed springs and better design actually made with 3D printing design in mind.

[@mofman1]

This model is awful, so many places where its designed for you to screw threads into 2 walls thick when using the provided profile leading to many parts shearing in two. The idea is great but the final implementation needs work.
