Hello all, I have now assembled the engine, please have a look! It`s a 900ccm turbocharged air/oilcooled 180 deg. crank twin. 4 valve per cylinder. Camshaft gear drive-hydraulic lash adjusters. Concentric to crankshaft balancers. 6 speed gearbox. Fuel injection & electronic ignition. I used real ball/roller bearings in the printed engine. Everything works well together, CNC machining to commence in second half of 2016.
I am also printing the rest of the motorcycle, but as it is still in the design phase, I can't post any pics of the complete motorcycle for another 6 months or so.

I ask you as the “sealed” the pieces to get the larger parties ?

Thank you! When gluing large ABS parts there are most likely some gaps. I use a thick glue (ABS+Acetone) and apply in a thick layer to fill the gaps. After the glue is solidified I fill any gaps left with more glue, the same way as you do when you fill the cavities of a bodypanel on a car before spraypainting. It is important to leave the ABS "filler" for a few days before sanding as the acetone needs to evaporate.
