3D model description

Welcome to Modular Mechanics! Today I have for you the first official 'end piece' of the modular mechanics series, something to power with all of your other mechanisms! I present to you, the Radial Engine! This marvel of engineering harkens back to the very first planes with its earliest version showing up around 1901 by a Mr. Charles M. Manly. His 3-piston design was shortly overshadowed by a 5-piston design in 1907, but in 1909 the whole radial engine concept was again overshadowed by the rotary engine. Confusing right? Well the difference between the radial an rotary engine is this: in the radial engine, the pistons and engine block are stationary relative to the body of the aircraft, much like the motor in a car. However, for the rotary engine, the entire engine spun around to spin the propeller. This was largely for cooling purposes, and its wild to watch.

Assembly video at end of pictures! Take a look, all of the available Modular Mechanics mechanisms are linked together powering this beauty.

Parts Included:
Central Connector
Connecting Disk - Cap Shaft
Connecting Disk - Cap
Connecting Disk
Engine Back
Gear Cover
Large Gear
Lead Piston Head
Piston Head
Propeller Cone
Propeller Spacer
Propeller
Radial Engine - Base
Radial Engine - IO Shaft
Shaft Connector
Small Gear
Slider Clip

All of my models are designed to be printed and assembled without any additional hardware.
While I strive to avoid supports, the Propeller will print better with supports in this case.

Supports recommended for Propeller component.

Printer should be well tuned (check out the Modular Mechanics - Free Model for a good baseline Cura Profile. Check print temp and Z-offset though!)
