Published 2021-03-08T09:51:49+00:00
It is well known that the Wright brothers made their first powered flight on the "Wright Flyer" on December 17, 1903.
I made the Engine Model as “In-Line, Water-Cooled Engine, 1903”in 2020.12.28.
This is the Power Plant Functional Model using with commercial parts including Engine, Propeller and Reduction Drive Chain and Systems (Fuel, Water, Electrical, Instruments and Control) to explain the progressiveness of the Wright brothers.
A. The features incorporated in the model are as follows;
① Engine, 4 Cylinder, Water-Cooled
② Propeller Reduction Drive Chain Mechanism
③ Propeller Support Frame
④ Propellers (2 blades Counter rotation)
⑤ Lower Wing (Center Section Only) including (a)Engine and (b)Pilot Frames
⑥ Upper Wing (Center Section Only)
⑦ Systems ((a)Fuel, (b)Water, (c)Electrical, (d)Instruments and (e)Control)
⑧ Skid with Rotation Tool to turn Propeller by finger
⑨ Handling Frames

B. Assembly Manual (PDF format, total 60 pages)
The detail assembly manual including "Parts-List", "After printing treatment" and "Assembly procedure" are prepared based on "Standard Skill (Filing, Drilling, Tapping and painting)".
Experience in cutting and connecting chains and wood model airplane making are preffered.
C. STL files
“ws” of last 2 digits of file name means “With Support” special designed.
Total STL files are 155 items including the stand and tools.

E. Total Net Print Time: Approx. 238 HR
- (Estimated as case of PLA, 0.4mm Nozzle, 0.2mm Layer Height, 40% infill and No raft and support)
Note: When at actual print, each parameter may be adjusted by your experience.
F. Printing settings
Raft, Support, Layer Height, Infill: Depending on your experience.
My models were printed by "idbox" using with 0.4 nozzle, 1.75 PLA.
[IMPORTANT NOTICE]
This model is large, requires a lot of parts, contains a lot of handmade elements and takes time.

A very beautiful model that I also recommend. Take care ; it is a difficult project. It was a complicated project for two reasons: - The first challenge, as @ hornbrendon11 points out, was to find all the spare parts (chain, spring, screws, wood, aluminium tube, etc.). - The second challenge was the assembly of many small parts I made some customizations compared to the original model: - Mounting the Inline Horizontal, Water Cooled, 4 Cylinder, 1903 (https://www.myminifactory.com/fr/object/3d-print-inline-horizontal-water-cooled-4-cylinder-1903-146990) - Printing the radiotor in only one part - Printing the half propeller in only one part - Mounting the RPM counter with ball bearing - Mounting the propeller shafts on needle bearings - New rotation tool (manual and electric) - Dummy rudder with all the wiring necessary for its operation I finally used several colors of filament to highlight the kinematics of this extraordinary plane. The Wright brothers were true geniuses.
