@Nat Filer noo way man, I literally said to myself after he said “Beautiful! Look at this cylinder head” I said bro that looks like a ball sack... no way someone didn’t point this out in the comments and he first comment I see is yours. That made my day lmaoo
Not all plastic. There are “thermoplastics” which are designed to withstand very high temperatures. Those don’t melt. They are used in products such as fireplace doors, intake manifolds, and BBQ grill parts. However, when they sustain higher temperatures than they are rated to handle, they become brittle and burn.
yes that stuff may last and its easy to mould, ive had an idea for a while for PF about a desert island special, thing you could make from it to get your escape engine running! his bottle carburettor gave me the idea, thus a carb made from bamboo and pipes made from natural rubber tree, clay head, maybe ferment alcohol from coconut milk for fuel! lol, make some kind of oil for the engine from (something!, fish or veggie oil ?)
Your vids are fun and educational. Injection molded ABS parts soften between 90 and 100 deg. C so I expected these results, but they were still fun. ABS is the most commonly plated plastic for exterior automotive applications. Presently, after several steps, the first metal layer is electroless copper, but before stable electroless copper baths were developed, low temperature (alkaline) electroless nickel-phosphorous baths were used. The acidic Ni-P baths have numerous advantages over the low temp ones, but they operate around 95 deg. C and distort the parts, so the alkaline baths were used (25-40 deg. C). I'm going to add one more thing. At one time one of the automotive manufactures looked into using thermoset polymeric composites (not ABS) as a replacement for rotating and reciprocating (but not exposed to flame) engine components. However, the team was small and when the leader left the company, the project died. That was over 30 years ago.
I wish I could say more, but the information is proprietary (and probably forgotten entirely by the corporation) so I can't give the details on the engine parts. But I'll say that the project was discontinued because the key person left, not because it ran into technical road blocks.
Lassi Kinnunen Yes, there are. But the parts that they were examining were a lot more difficult to replace than what you listed and I don't want to say what they were. They're the kind of things that you'd say "I never thought that they could use plastics there."
I love that your videos almost always feel like they are your first few videos. I have been following since the beginning, so it is really nice seeing you stay true to quality and seeking new ways to make interesting and relevant content. All the best!
Question: Carburetor before or after the turbo? Btw. I think it would be easier to test with a 3D-Printed adaptor for a 120mm PC-Fan to the intake before going all the way with a real turbo.
Your videos pull me in like the tractor beam on the Death Star. I was searching for something else on CZcams, but when I saw you trying out a 3D printed cylinder head, I just couldn't resist..
I found your channel about a year ago when I was stuck in bed for months because of my illness and ever since then I’ve been a religious subscriber to your channel. I just gotta say that I absolutely love your videos and I want to do videos like this so bad. But anyways thank you for all these entertaining experiments keep it up!🤘🏻
This is a real issue. ABS vs. PLA - because ABS is a plastic derived from petroleum, so it can make toxic fumes. PLA is made from organic materials, so it is not toxic, but, as the video showed, not as strong and much more sensitive to heat.
If I could get my hands on that STL file or the part, I would be happy to send you that same part printed in a more temperature resistant material, such as carbon fiber nylon or polycarbonate.
The problem is that fused filament disposition relies on using materials that melt at low temperatures, a 3d printed plastic cylinder head would either need a temperature resistant coating or some better cooling system, maybe running oil through the head. Or an upgraded printer and some very high temperature plastic. Or maybe water injection into the cylinder during the exhaust cycle to take the heat out before it builds up.
Polycarbonate has a 66psi tensile strength at 260F ish after hardening. It will break under pressure. Nylon X will survive the pressure but temperature beyond 320F will melt it. Depends as pressure and temperature at the same time and increase stress in the material to crack and blow out if the material isn't able to cure or set properly during printing and curing stage.
I wonder if the green plastic head (forgot the material) would last longer if it had some sort of non-conductive seat for the spark plug. Like some sort of alloy that would dissipate heat enough for it to last longer. You could tap the plastic cylinder head and then add that alloy collar to it and the spark plug could screw into the collar. I'm having a hard time trying to convey what I mean and it might be outside of the scope of your experiment. Maybe bushing is a better word. 1911 pistols have this feature for the grips. It's a little grommet that screws into the frame so you can change screws without risking damage to the frame of the firearm.
5:06 made me go back and watch for pink color by warm spots throughout the video. Like when he taps the spark plug threads in, or where he was holding it before. Cool!
Awesome vid. I'm not much of an engine freak but your uploads are always interesting, informative and inspiring. This i liked especially as you're playing outside the boundaries of old tech - nice work
Well, I'm now addicted to your videos!!! So applicable for my line of work. Have you ever run straight Sea Foam in a 2 stroke engine. I've heard that that's what it was used to be for marine applications. Would it run an Echo or Stihl?
DO NOT DO THAT. It is used to fog engines not be used as a fuel source! I'd be very concerned about your bearings and rings. Take my word for it or not but I'm ASE certified and also an Engineer. Bad idea.
Well, I assume everyone knew that the plastic would melt, no brainer. However, I wonder what would happen it you coated the plastic with heavy duty Epoxy first & then performed the test? Thanks again for a great video..........................
Ive been down this road with intake boots on a motorcycle engine. a thin layer is not enough to hold up to the heat and it ends up deforming anyways. Maybe a solid epoxy resin head would do ok? perhaps with some fiberglass mixed in
Great videos as always and I was curious what do you think a cylinder head made up of the 3-D printed plastic like that would do with a thin layer of metal over it? Perhaps even a layer or coating of J.B. weld,gasket material,high heat paint or finishes,or any other materials that could handle the heat from the engine?
WOW, I never would have guessed plastic fouling to be the reason it would have shut down. I would have guessed it would warp and blow out, great video!
I'd love to see a collab with you and CNC Kitchen, he has access to a lot of high tech filaments, and has even made some more high temp resistant stuff including annealed PLA!
this has been done many times by the clueless in the world. The engine either wont start or if it does blows massive amounts of white smoke aka burnt oil out the muffler and spits oil out the carb and breather tube. u know for obvious reasons. until the oil is burned down to tolerable levels. or the exhaust valve carbons up and cant close causing it to stall and backfire out the carb.
My 200cc enduro did this when the carburetor float failed and filled the combustion chamber and crank case with gasoline. It was hydrolocked and would not turn over. I found this out when I opened the crank case and found a gallon of gas pouring out.
That is what my lawn mower started doing this year. the float was sticking I cleaned it but didn't work. kept filling the crank with gas causing hydro lock. I put a shut off valve on the gas line to fix it.
SRT8 MadMan when I was a kid we ran an old 2 horse tecumseh with peanut oil in it. Governor wide open & no load. It would sieze & free up as soon as she cooled down. Ran that way for maybe 3/4 tank of fuel until the rod let go & put a nice hole in the block.
I use a FLIR-One in my work to get thermal readings. Would love to see some experiments performed that also include thermal readings of the materials being tested.
I do not think 3/4" thick Bakelite would be as brittle as you guys are thinking, I witnessed an old Bakelite phone handset which is far thinner, stand up to an amazing amount of impacts and blows without cracking or shattering. Also, I wonder if newly made Bakelite has different properties than aged as I would imagine it does.
You gotta try having another plastic cylinder head made and drill water jackets into it and cool the head and see how long it cant last then! That would be cool!
sounds like a good idea at first...but you'd probably have to make so many water channels that the structural integrity of the piece would be lost for a high-pressure application like this??
You could 3d print the water jacket. Base off of how much plastic is melted there the water jacket would have to be very close to the surface. Probably won't hold up to the combination then.
Awesome channel! Amazed at how long the hardwood cylinder head lasted. Any interest in testing 3D metal printed parts? Or, combinations of different 3D printed materials and sandwiching them together to make the cylinder head? Obviously a heat/fire resistant material where sparkplug/cylinder/valves come in contact but, a sleeve(metal?) where sparkplug is, maybe. So many avenues to explore, Very thought provoking and inspiring!
You are correct, metal was used long before the industrial revolution but it was only possible to produce small quantities. The industrial revolution only happened after they discovered how to mass produce iron. That is the basis of what we now call the "Industrial Revolution."
Great test. Loved the wood! I once built a full sized Canadian canoe from chicken wire and paper mache. It works until the paint was scraped on a rock. It dissolved around me in great chunks! Cheers
Love the videos. I was thinking the other day that maybe a few tests on different methods to get motor oil stains out of concrete (like a garage floor) would be informative. I've tried detergents, kitty litter, brake cleaners, etc but never in a controlled way. I am also curious to see if you can replace the cylinder head gasket all together and just use RTV or any other typical quick-set gasket maker. I've only ever used RTV to supplement gaskets where there are known failures, and never to completely replace a gasket.
As far as I know, PLA fumes are not toxic (it's actually an organic compound if I'm not horribly mistaken), but ABS fumes definitely are. Tho, that is considering the pure plastic burning, not combined with fuel and/or oil.
Kalvinjj there's research suggesting some of the VOCs (volatile organic compounds) generated by heating PLA are toxic. There are countless organic compounds that are toxic, i.e. dioxin. Organic within chemistry is not the same as "organic" on a food label, it simply involves carbon atoms.
Nice insight John Ratko, not that I would be sniffing burnt PLA for fun but now I know it's a nice idea to ventilate enough the area around if I get to print with it. EDIT: yes I was familiar with the classification chemically about organic compounds, but funny enough, in this specific case, the compound itself may be organic even on the food sense, as it may be done from corn starch, sugar cane and other renewable sources
@@ProjectFarm do the resin along with PC, POM, PEAK, and reinforced concrete*. * use a cast in place steel piece for the spark plug screw spot as threading cement sound hard.

That's the recipe for refractory. Would definitely hold the heat but I think it might crack and start to flake out.
I thought they would last longer then that! Oh well cool to see. Thanks again Project Farm
Terry, Great job making those cylinder heads and thank you for making a video showing us how you made them!
PLA and ABS are 3d printed at less than 250*, 300+ from those small engines is just too much for those materials.
That kind of plastic intentionally melts at a low temperature so it can be printed. So it makes sense it would melt in the engine
you'd definitely need some extremely high temperature plastics. all though they're very hard to print
What infill percentage did you use? 100%?
Iwas surprised the ABS held the plug in. I was certain the plug would blow out of both of them within 30 seconds
I was surprised they lasted even that long. Awesome video!

The problem is that fused filament disposition relies on using materials that melt at low temperatures, a 3d printed plastic cylinder head would either need a temperature resistant coating or some better cooling system, maybe running oil through the head. Or an upgraded printer and some very high temperature plastic. Or maybe water injection into the cylinder during the exhaust cycle to take the heat out before it builds up.
Not true! Many 3d printing materials are high heat and require an oven-like chamber being constructed around the print area.
Polycarbonate has a 66psi tensile strength at 260F ish after hardening. It will break under pressure. Nylon X will survive the pressure but temperature beyond 320F will melt it. Depends as pressure and temperature at the same time and increase stress in the material to crack and blow out if the material isn't able to cure or set properly during printing and curing stage.
Ask the person who made those for you to use a Nylon filament. Nylon has a much higher temp capability.
Thank you!

Yes, this is a HUGE difference! We printed some gaskets with a printer and the nylon stuff actually worked good for head gasket

In my experience bakelite would just fracture. It's extremely hard and tough, but it doesn't stand up to sharp blows such as a combustion event.

I sawed this boat in half!
Alec Marshall now that’s a lot of damage!
So, the plastic used in hot-melt, additive layer 3D printing melts? Who knew?
Awesome channel! Amazed at how long the hardwood cylinder head lasted. Any interest in testing 3D metal printed parts? Or, combinations of different 3D printed materials and sandwiching them together to make the cylinder head? Obviously a heat/fire resistant material where sparkplug/cylinder/valves come in contact but, a sleeve(metal?) where sparkplug is, maybe. So many avenues to explore, Very thought provoking and inspiring!
wonder if glass could make a functional cylinder head!
Great recommendation.
zachary roach dew it
zachary roach probably not. I think it would shatter from thermal shock.
zachary roach but hey worth a try
borosilicate glass not affected by thermal shock
I think this shows how much we owe the industrial revolution. We take iron and steel for granted but they are truly wonder products.
Great point!
You are correct, metal was used long before the industrial revolution but it was only possible to produce small quantities.
The industrial revolution only happened after they discovered how to mass produce iron.
That is the basis of what we now call the "Industrial Revolution."
Terry needs to send you a 3D printed (metal) cylinder head.
Thank you for the video idea!
A guy that’s crafty enough to make those is probly from winkler, them boys are legit.
The plastic melted? Who woulda thought!?
lol. It was a fun experiment.
Project Farm is it possible to make a engine block out of carbon fiber
You know somethings not right when your cylinder head melts onto your spark plug.
lol!
Great test. Loved the wood! I once built a full sized Canadian canoe from chicken wire and paper mache. It works until the paint was scraped on a rock. It dissolved around me in great chunks! Cheers
Thank you
The pool pump motor repair guy approved ! that was good info farm man
Love the videos.
I was thinking the other day that maybe a few tests on different methods to get motor oil stains out of concrete (like a garage floor) would be informative. I've tried detergents, kitty litter, brake cleaners, etc but never in a controlled way.
I am also curious to see if you can replace the cylinder head gasket all together and just use RTV or any other typical quick-set gasket maker. I've only ever used RTV to supplement gaskets where there are known failures, and never to completely replace a gasket.
Great video ideas!
Love engine parts made out of silly materials. More please!
Thank you!
If you haven't already, you should do a revisit of this idea with higher end materials. I bet that glass filled nylon would last a lot longer.
Man I love your videos!
Glad to hear it! Thank you!
Wow THats ALot oF DAmagE!
lol
"How about a little more?"
@@cutthroat399 I think so
Nice video 👍😁😂😀👌♥️👍👌😀👌♥️ Great job man 👍
Thank you!
let's all acknowledge the fact the each 3d printed cylinder head probably took over 36 hours to print. lol. great video!
Thank you!
Lasted 17 seconds that's quite a bit longer then I last
Perhaps you need something 3D printed that will last a bit longer
CZcams Admin that’s what she said.
Well I wasn't gonna NOT click on that title!!!!
lol. Thank you
Bet those special plastic exhaust fumes are a tad toxic.
I agree. I always wear a respirator during the videos involving smokey exhaust.
As far as I know, PLA fumes are not toxic (it's actually an organic compound if I'm not horribly mistaken), but ABS fumes definitely are.
Tho, that is considering the pure plastic burning, not combined with fuel and/or oil.
Kalvinjj there's research suggesting some of the VOCs (volatile organic compounds) generated by heating PLA are toxic. There are countless organic compounds that are toxic, i.e. dioxin. Organic within chemistry is not the same as "organic" on a food label, it simply involves carbon atoms.
All exhaust is a tad toxic, even natural gas.
Nice insight John Ratko, not that I would be sniffing burnt PLA for fun but now I know it's a nice idea to ventilate enough the area around if I get to print with it.
EDIT: yes I was familiar with the classification chemically about organic compounds, but funny enough, in this specific case, the compound itself may be organic even on the food sense, as it may be done from corn starch, sugar cane and other renewable sources
I'm impressed at all that Toro has been through and it still runs.
Thank you. Great mower engine for sure!
I think it would be fun to see how a fiberglass or resin cylinder head would hold up, they probably could withstand more heat too. Great video!
Thanks! Great suggestion! Thank you.
@@ProjectFarm do the resin along with PC, POM, PEAK, and reinforced concrete*.
* use a cast in place steel piece for the spark plug screw spot as threading cement sound hard.
