    1/3 Scale Case Steam engine

    3D Printed Patterns

    I do shrink fit steel rims to my wheels. I found some schedule 80 pipe. The wheels in my post are only 3 1/2" dia. I plan to use them on my engine cart for a Perkins engine under construction. I like the cart wheels to match the engine flywheels.

    3D Printed Patterns

    I have played around with printing sand casting patterns. I use Fusion 360 to draw the 3D models. I have a Lulzbot Mini 2 printer. I am waiting for warmer weather to fire up the foundry & pour some wheels.
