Excellent suggestion! I was getting ready to order that 3D printed engine from shapeways, and I got to wondering how hard it really would be to scratch one. After looking long and hard at the photos of that engine, it occurred to me that maybe I could do something acceptable. This afternoon I got busy and everything worked out pretty good for starters. Still a lot of work to do.
