Another Machinist's Model of a Steam Engine.

I don't know what you're building Dave but I've notified the FBI

@Rich-O-Brien

So, the FBI, just about getting to steam power will hire Dave on the spot then?

Dave R

Funny guys!

And here's another one. A little 4-cylinder oscillating engine. As usual, all base level components are solids.

@Dave-R I thought I forgot to take my 3D glasses off when looking at this last image. Fantastic

P.S. I meant to say my X-ray glasses. The ones I bought from the ad in the back of my comic book.

Dave R

@tuna1957 thank you sir!

Another little steam engine. The flywheel has a diameter of 80mm. Nothing but SketchUp.

@Dave-R Very nice sir!

You said all SketchUp. Did you use any plugins? I wish I had the knowledge/skill to do something like this. I am not an artist or engineer and see many post from people like you and am very impressed.

Very cool ! There seems to be a never ending supply of these little mechanical marvels.

Dave R

@tuna1957 thank you sir. I have been amazed at how many different little steam engine models I've found.

Yes, I did use a few extensions. For this latest one TIG's Extrude Edges by Rails, Fredo6's Fredo Corner and Round Corner., and TIG's Tangent Tools, Eneroth Solid Tools, and Bool Tools2 is about all.

By saying "all SketchUp" I meant there was no external rendering done.

And thank you!

Mike Amos

Great pieces indeed, I hope the supply continues.

Dave R

@Mike-Amos Thank you.
