A radial engine is an internal combustion engine configuration in which the cylinders radiate outward from a central housing like the spokes of a wheel. It resembles a stylized star when viewed from the front, and is called a "star engine" in some other languages.The radial configuration was commonly used for aircraft engines.Unlike most radial configurations which work with a master-and-articulating-rod assembly, this design uses offset piston rods which all attach to the same crankshaft pin. Printing and AssemblyThe parts should be printed on a smooth build plate.Avoid elephant foot and over-extrusion.I printed the model on my Prusa MINI with PLA+ filament, layer height 0.2 mm. Use glue where necessary.For assembled and exploded views, have a look at the .stl files in the “VIEWS” map.Printing and assembly in alphabetical order (A1 → E4).In the “OPTIONAL” map you find five .stl-files for your own preference.Printing tips are available for many parts.Dimension: 199 x 141 x 110 mm.Weigh
