The casting does not but the original model does. I purposely blocked them off in the model. I believe you could cast a model twice the size of this one and get decent results with water jackets and maybe some oil channels.
@@wesaderty I would have to upgrade everthing for casting that I own. I'd have to pour 80lbs+ of aluminum. I rather cast a 1/3 scale functional engine. But that's a project for an older, retired me...
I will make a video for casting the head start to finish so you can see the whole process. Look up lost PLA casting on youtube. There are a handful of good videos out there.
Thanks, I learned electronics by just jumping in head first by building a DIY engine management system (megasquirt) when I was 17. It was a harsh learning curve especially when it's your only mode of transportation. I would start out with Arduino. Find a project that you would like to do and don't be afraid to let some smoke out.
Hello, in second 16, what liquid and at what temperature is it? What is this process for? At what temperature did you bring the plaster to burn the PLA. Thanks for your answe
A few safety corrections, wax melts, depending on its formula from between 100 and about 150 f, NOT C. You should not try to get it to 700 C you could have a serious fire as it boils at around 370 C, and flashes at 200 to 250... DO NOT Heat to 750 C. You will have some serious issues with fire or explosion when it starts to boil into vapor. Also if it flashes, do not try to put it out with water... you will have the mother of all explosions in your face.
This is not lost wax... it's lost PLA, and the intention is to burn it out not melt it out. PLA also has a higher melting point than wax by a long way Granted you probably could do the latter and might even get improved results.
It's just lost PLA casting... very similar to lost wax except you can 3d print the PLA easily then cast in plaster mould and burn out the PLA in the oven then pour like normal...
Dude, the To much cowbell thing cracked me up.. lmao. Cool video. Good job.
massively inspiring thank you for sharing
Great job looks awesome. Can you show the footage when you made the actual mold before pouring.
Super cool. Now just make a crank and head etc and get it running :D
HOW DID YOU MAKE THE MOULD?????
Would've been nice to see the whole process..trying to figure out how to make the mould. Can't find anyone who shows the process
How does this not have millions of veiws.....
very good job man
Thanks.
Couple of questions: could you do a block like this out of cast iron? How much power did the final engine make?
Donde puedo conseguir el archivo 3d del bloque
do you believe it would be possible to cast an engine like this in full size? Does this foundry have the cooling and lubrication channels?

@@snagle87 I think it would be interesting for you to make one in original size. what do you think of this challenge?

What did you do between dipping it in wacks & poring the aluminum

I love the engine block, but have no idea how you got to make it as nothing in the video showing, justa a pot of wax and then hot metal being poored.
How much water did you dose?
If u would have drilled vent holes it would have filled in better
You didnt show how you make it
its too good but when you but your engine block in pla and when you cast the metal on it you plug the holes or not
Are you talking about the cylinder holes?
@@snagle87 yes
@@recuppc No, it was filled in by the mold plaster of Paris/sand mix
@@snagle87 OK
From what car is this engine from ?
BMW M50 engine...
@@snagle87 wich one 2.0,2.5,2.8 ?
@@EduardAlmasanu Hahaha! Whichever one you want.
How and when did you start your career
This stuff is just for fun... self taught... learned from reading and UA-cam.
Hi, I just found your channel. How did you learn to work on electronics? oh I just finished watching your turbo go-kart and I was impressed 👍

Are you planning on making a working engine?
Not necessarily with this engine but we'll see how the head goes.

Paraffin wax melted to 103C+. For the plaster mold you bring it up slowly to 750C over 6-8hrs.
@@snagle87 Tank you
Why did you dip it in wax ?
To smooth out the print lines.
