This project is a fully functional I5 engine model designed for 3D printing. It features:
Moving crankshaft, pistons, timing chain, and two valves per cylinder, standard firing order: 1‑2‑4‑5‑3,
🔩 Assembly Details
The model is assembled using:
Crankshaft and camshafts: 4x bearings 608 (you can print it from included files),
Oil pan: 8 × M4 × 25 mm + nuts,
Cylinder head: 4 × M4 × 25 mm + nuts,
🔩 Printing tips
Camshafts: print split along the axis and glue after printing,
Crankshaft: print vertically with supports,
Springs: print with supports,
Valves: print horizontally with supports (vertical printing likely to fail),
Timing chain: print with 0.16 mm layer height,
Fully printable timing chain,
