About this model
I made this for a friend's film project. It is a Continental RW 670 radial engine usually used on the Boeing PT-17 Stearman bi-plane. I printed it out on a resin printer only so I don't know how well it will print out on a FDM printer. I designed it with alignment pins but wound up having to sand them off. I also included exhaust pipes but you will have to cut and sand them to the proper length. The parts are not in a standard scale size so you will have size according to your use requirements. The engine is not very accurate as the size of the cooling vanes are oft and I had take some liberties with certain portions of the cylinders. Also the right valve lifter rod intersects with the cooling vanes a little bit. And It's also missing all the details behind the crank case, but I might mode…
