A simple axial engine, using a swashplate to take power to the driveshaft.
Unfortunately, the engine is a bit excessively large, as the pistons move no where near the end of their cylinders, so it may be a long print.
Assembly + printing:
-Print one of each component, except for the piston, which you will need four of.
Optionally print the stand.
-Press the upper shaft into the lower.
-Press the bearings/collars into the shaft.
-Slide the shaft into the block.
-Place the swashplate onto the coupler, and glue it into place so that it is at an angle.
-Set the assembled swashplate onto the rails of the shaft, and slide it about 1/4th the way down.
-Rest the pistons in their cylinders, and get the rollers on their connecting rods over the plate.
-Slide the plate down, and assist the pistons into position.
-Turn the swashplate clockwise to lock it in place.
(OPTIONAL)
-Glue the shaft collars to the block, and the swashplate coupler to the shaft.
-Be careful n
