About this model

This is a hand-cranked model of a 8 cylinder radial engine. The radial engine is a reciprocating type internal combustion engine configuration in which the cylinders "radiate" outward from a central crankcase like the spokes of a wheel (source: Wikipedia). To assemble, print the following parts, and follow the assembly procedure. - Cylinder Block - Handle - Rotor - Pin - Hub Bottom (Requires support) - Hub Top - Piston (x 8ea) - Rod (x 7ea) The "un-sectioned" cylinder block is also uploaded, but I have not tried printing it (I am not entirely sure if it the parts can be assembled into it). I designed in some slack in each of the parts, but you may want to make sure that all parts fit with sufficient clearance for smooth motion.
