V8 Engine Fidget Print in place

This is a model I have wanted to design for ages, here is a V8 engine fidget toy. Its a nice pocket  size flat plane crank V8, it has a fly wheel and cranking handle for all your fidgeting needs. 

The print profile has been honed to give it the best combination of reliable printing, ease of support removal and not to sloppy a model. 

Clean up and free off

Start by gently removing the supports outside in works well, then twist each piston to make sure it is free to move, make sure that both the little and big ends of the connectign rods are free then the main bearings. I do this by placing a small screwdriver in th gaps adn gently twisting. then I rock the fly wheel back and forward until it frees off. I them hold it down on a table top and spin the crank for about 1 seconds this normally leaves it rotating freely.  - if the crank and flywheel are stiff then you can lay it on its side and apply pressure to the crankshaft to rotate it.

NOTES:

I wouldn't scale it down, up should be fine but not down. 

Care should be taken with higher shrinkage filaments like silks as these will probably struggle
