Solution

  • Step 1: The blueprints for the internal combustion engine model were downloaded from the internet. A manual for assembly was provided alongside the blueprints.
  • Step 2: The various components of the engine model were 3D printed using a range of colored plastics.
  • Step 3: Each part was carefully removed from the printer and any support material was cleared away.
  • Step 4: The printed parts were then sanded and cleaned to ensure a smooth finish and proper fit.
  • Step 5: Bolts, nuts, and other fastening parts were collected as specified in the assembly manual.
  • Step 6: The assembly process began by following the detailed instructions provided in the manual.
  • Step 7: Moving parts, such as pistons and the crankshaft, were precisely fitted into place.
  • Step 8: Bolts and nuts were used to secure the parts together, ensuring stability and functionality.
  • Step 9: The fan and other external components were attached, completing the model.
  • Step 10: Final adjustments and checks were made to ensure all parts moved smoothly and correctly.
  • Step 11: The completed model was inspected for quality and accuracy, ready to demonstrate the principles of an internal combustion engine.
