Engine Fidget - VW VR6 - Keychain - EA390

Hello and Welcome to 3DEraTec!
 

A motor fidget in the design of a VR6, I was inspired by other motor fidgets and remembered my youth and my dream car at the time. That was the Golf 3 with VR6. Engine designation VW EA390. …..

Now I have built it as well as possible as a fidget for you and it works. I needed several prototypes until everything fit.

As in real life, without lubrication, piston seizure is pre-programmed. If you like, use some oil for the pistons. Don't forget to break it in for the first 1000KM before you can go full throttle. (Enough fun for now)

Important Note!

• Please do not change the settings, use the existing print profile. Each part requires different supports, build plate adhesion, etc. 
• Feel free to adjust colors, the parts are arranged on the print plate so you can create your own motor. Even without AMS
• Preferred Filament PLA

Assembly, even for hobby mechanics

Step 1: Insert pistons into engine block

Step 2: Insert crankshaft at an angle

Step 3: Press into the crankshaft bearing at the arrows with some force. A drop of Lubricant Oil or Lubricant Grease helps with assembly and later as lubrication when the speed is increased. 

Step 4: Assemble the oil pan. Glue with superglue to ensure it holds.

Finished! Don't forget to break it in for the first 1000KM please. ;-)

Have fun!

Important Print Note:

• Print on a build plate that is flawless, clean, and grease-free! 

   

• In the print profile, the "First Layer" speed was specifically reduced to ensure ideal adhesion without additional adhesive. If you wish, use an adhesive, sometimes – better safe than sorry!

   

• The print profile was created on a P1S with 5000 hours. Print times may vary when using other printers!
