Hello all, my engine is now ready, all the bits have been printed in 1:1 scale and ready to be fully assembled. All parts work as a "real" engine. There are a few hundred parts, larger parts made in sections of 6-10 pieces and glued together. Some distortion of the larger parts, but a file and chisel can make everything fit :) . Discovered a few things that needs to be redesigned/corrected before CNC machining the engine, so it is useful to 3D print before making it in metal. Total print hours are 3-4000. Great evening project!
