Hi Ken, Nice work! You're doing a great job! I've been interested in building one of these too. I have a small hobby foundry setup and a couple of 3D printers to make patterns. If you'd like to share your OBJ or STL files, I can see if I'd be able to make cast aluminum parts. Doug

I've seen that video before and it helped a lot with the design aspects. I have never tried cast iron before so that will be a challenge. I'd rather find a small foundry that could do it at a limited cost. The other option is for me to cast the cylinder head out of aluminum or white bronze and...

It is nice to see more Bugatti engines being built. I too started with the Pocher model for inspiration. I've gotten as far as making 3D printed PLA patterns to allow me to make rubber molds and then to make lost wax patterns. It's a lot of work and a lot of unknowns since the Bugatti Trust...

Hi Jan, Superb workmanship on both the 3D design and the 3D print. I too am working on designing the same engine, but in 1/4 scale. However, I'm thinking that 1/3 might be a better option to make an operable internal combustion engine. I've designed and printed the oil sump, and crankcase...

Very impressive! And thank you for sharing! Can you please clarify what you used for plaster? Is it Plaster of Paris or is it a type of Investment?
