Been a trying time over the last few weeks. Working from home and social isolation has been challenging. But fortunetly, my family, friends and myself are healthy. I hope all the same for you! I have had some time (more time actually) to do some 3D printing. Here is the 3D print job for an 1/16 scale ARGUS (Opel) III six cylinder engine used in the Hannover CIIIa and serveral other German aircraft during WWI. I modeled this is Blender, then using my print pipeline, was able to print it out in five separate print jobs. Most of these only took 4 - 6 hours to print. Print time is proportial to the number of layers (hight in Z Axis) of the print, not the number of parts. I have found there tends to have more issues with lots of parts on one print, so I tend to keep the numbers smaller and do more prints. It took two weekends and a week of evenings to model the entire engine. However, now that I have it, I can print it in any scale I want down to about 1/24. Any smaller than that and I run into issues with parts being too small and would need to rework the model.
