- We meet Eric Harrell, who brought his collection of functional 3d-printed car engines and transmissions to this year's Maker Faire! Eric shows us his 1/3rd scale engines, which he designs from reference schematics and measurements to highlight how real engines work. Eric has also made his files available online for anyone to make their own replicas!

This guy is really impressive. You could tell how interested they were about how he did all of this.
With a different camshaft design, you could probably run these on compressed air (for a little while.)
Now I think if you took each piece and cast it from aluminum or something, you could run it off of some low heat fuels
You should look at Tom Scanton on yt, he did something similar
This is seriously cool. Just imagine how much you could learn as an engineer or mechanic by taking a course where your ultimate goal would be to literally build an engine. You'd understand the entire process and know what all of the parts do.
*"YOU WOULDN'T DOWNLOAD A CAR"*
Wait...
Hang on...
+Puddin Tater What's Ancientreality?
+Puddin Tater The "you wouldn't download a car" meme comes from the anti piracy clip that used to play before movies, this Ancientreality guy didn't come up with it.
+Puddin Tater That'd mean they're violating the terms of service, being well under 13 years old.
Aren't old enough? What are you talking about? DVD is still prevalent.
Now if he said beta-max or laser disk that would be diff. XD
Talented dudes like this need more time/money/resources. He's obviously very clued up, some company needs to get behind him, the results (and furthering the limits of 3D printing) would be incredible!
he seems pretty real, my guy
yeah the look on his face that he wants to do more and try other stuff but he cant because of the resources he needs. i hope Tested (or frank) can collaborate with him.
TJ-N do you know how hard it is to find certain engines, he could make a business based on designing engines, 3d printing them and then making a mold of said engines.
Couldn't agree more, how is this not funded in some way this is incredibly complex and this guy has an icredible understanding of complex machinery
StevenMartinGuitar why should they people working on engines are all like him he‘s nothing special
I never cease to be amazed at how many extraordinarily skilled people there are in this world and just what they could achieve together if their efforts were recognised and given free rein. There is very little they could not do.
Frank seemed super into this, I'd love to see what he could do with one of these with his skill and enthusiasm.
Yeah Frank is a Motocross guy, so he knows engines, and you can tell he wants to recast some of the 3D printed stuff in clear resin.
Nice AvE shirt!
FUCK YEAH!
clapped out bridgeport milling machine
lastcaress509
Lovin the shirt, gonna get my own dirty dick beaters on one soon!!
everyone enjoys uncle bumble f*cks videos
Good catch, son. I call you son on account of me knowin' your mother so well.
AvE T-shirt!
AvE needs a 3D printed clapped out Bridgeport.
NWBackcountry keep yer slick some place nice
AvE is slowly taking over the T-Shirt industry... :D
I thought the engines were pretty neat. Then I saw the manual transmissions. That is amazing to see at that scale. Even the synchronizers appeared to be there. That's amazing. Very very very impressive
This is really revolutionary, engines that are rare or extinct can me more accessible to have or recreate in the future, that's just incredible.
Dude, your work is awesome! No one has done anything nearly as complex in the model world. Keep it up,. Fear no project, no matter how complex.
This was really cool but it seems like they used a lot of the time to bust this guy's balls when he's got such a cool product to present. Lol
Ya, he probably had little time to prepare to be interviewed and knows what he wants to do. They're being encouraging but I'm sure he's doing the best he can do with time and experience he has.
I think they were just excited and they fled him with ideas and tips
Eduard Šajgalik yeah, he was just a bit overwhelmed by it I guess. :)
lol they're not busting his balls. He just did a really good job and they want to see more stuff from him.
This guy has all the experience required to do anything they encouraged him to do.
Sitting around on holiday, decided to start looking at new projects for when I get home. This is perfect! What a total legend!
Love Frank's AVE shirt. Good to see them supporting other CZcams channels.
Thanks Eric for sharing your work with everyone! Awesome work!
This is amazing, in past years I had searched for scale models to visually look over to stir creative ideas. Watching this segment opened a can of worms thank you for sharing!
I have printed his LS3 working model and it is just plain cool! Its such a conversation starter!
I'm so glad he mentioned rotaries! I was waiting for him to say that through the whole video
the transparent engines they were talking about from the 70s/80s were called the visible v8, i had one as a kid
I had the same one in the 60's, It looks like its from the 50's.
still available online.
It's funny how the new generations are bringing back so much from the first technological boom and calling it an invention.
Building a high rpm engine now except i painted my block still have alot of work to do its a 1960s that i bought off an old man for 30 bucks he was 10 when he built it and the block wasnt straight an parallel like it should so i had to disassemble and rebuild block is done but still need to fill block and heads with epoxy and tap for screws and bolts
Thank you! Been looking for the name, I want to get a 351 windsor model!
I printed and assembled his manual transmission couple of years ago. His files are superb! Highly recommend giving his designs a print.
Very cool!!!! The possibilities of these little engines are almost limitless. They are a fantastic way of showing a person with no automotive knowledge how something works. Great job, and please keep up the hard work!
I love these engines & the drivetrain model is pure AMAZING!!
omg i loved the little scale truck frame and gearbox and stuff on it!
I did a 427 engine block in AutoCAD my senior year in highschool, back in 2006. My 18 year old self really appreciates this.
Awesome Man!
I admire your creativity!
You are one step away to create your own automotive motor engine company. Keep it up!
Nothing can stop you! You are in your way up!👍
The title makes it seem that they are actually burning fuel.
Thauã Aguirre how?
working engine model...not running mini motor.
So you're telling me when an internal combustion engine is "working" it isn't running on fuel? Interesting logic there..........
Let's see someone make a plastic 3D printed gasoline engine that actually runs! ... it's possible .. with the right design and at a VERY low power output (i.e. runs very slow)... keeping part temps really low. Such an engine would have no practical use, but would be a fun project. Something like an occasionally firing "hit miss" type motor. The parts could be made hollow with water cooling channels, imagine a water cooled piston, with water hoses .. feasible at very low rpm.
Nooooo....! Tested NEVER clickbaits..! Pfffft
Theres something about an engine that has captivated me since i was a kid. Maybe its just the beauty in the engineering of all the parts noving. Just a true thing of beauty
I saw the flathead v8 and was very happy
I love that someone took the time and effort to do this, I grew up rebuilding chevy 454 and 502 engines for boats, the only thing that I can criticize if the last engine in the video, he has the exhaust coming out of the block, not the heads where it's supposed to be, and the engine is a v8 and there's only 3 exhaust outlets , not 4... don't get me wrong, I have to give this guy credit for doing all of this, it takes a lot of time.
I am currently working on building his Toyota engine. I gotta say, it's coming out pretty cool so far. Our printer is not an expensive, fancy one but the parts are fitting together perfectly. These designs are freaking awesome.
the gears actually work! omg it's so cute
I really appreciate his flat out honesty about what he will and will not do.
Always the ego trick pops out when jealous...... Thank You for taking the time to share your motor parts online. Really amazing work!
I cant wait to print one of these and build it!
I think i finally found a really good reason to visit the maker spaces with 3D printers near me. I want these!
This makes me really happy because the 22RE was my very first engine that I took apart and put back together (which I did 3 times because I'm dumb)
holly crap! that complete chassis is awesome! I would totally buy one in kit form!
I remember seeing that very first 22R, and then came the transmission and transfer case. It was super cool to see! Props of the AvE shirt! 8)
Beautiful work!
my dad was a mechanic for 34 year and started to train students at a technical school he printed 2 of these and uses them to teach students some of the basics or what the repair does.
That was so cool, he could print a body that would fit on the chassis and make it remote control, that would be so sick.
wow... this dude after all this must ROCK @ solidworks
really wow, thanks for uploading this video
Been inside a few transmissions, this is awesome!
I actually made the Toyota motor with some user designed additions and it is simply brilliant. I also have all the hardware to make the transmission and the transfer box and I hope to get around to starting that in a couple of months ..... It still blows me away how well all the parts, especially the block, is modeled to be detailed but still easy to print. Highly recommended for a complex project that is just going to work.
The best thing I've seen so far
This is awesome, went and downloaded immediately.
I love the honest views expressed. He is not claiming to be anything special and was smart enough to work with in his realistic ability. Nice guy. Nice work.
amazing! this is a great learning tool
omg!! I am so printing the rotary engine when it comes out!!
Frank cracks me up, his mind works a lot like mine when it comes to mechanical stuff. You can definitely see he's the gearhead of the outfit. I hope he ends up making his own engine on here and getting it running, running a methanol flathead recreation would be really cool... you could even put a blower and mechanical fuel injection on it and... lol
But gotta remind him though, not to make it too efficient or too great of a viable alternative to currently used fuel, if not he might get shot in the head. Lmao
it's a flathead, it will never be efficient, just cool. Their design isn't used for anything other than lawnmower engines anymore for a reason, they don't make much power and the don't get good economy.. They are just simple and cool to look at. A fully race built Flathead Ford V8 running a big supercharger, fuel injection and methanol typically makes maybe 400hp... you can easily do that with a low compression naturally aspirated 302 these days.
J.A.Ratt85 We're talking about a plastic model buddy. Calm down with the hp and efficiency stuff.
dont worry! i'm on it!
Internet tough guy, he is giving free info, hush and take the info in.
Nice work.
That 22R toyota looks spot on. Is it based on a tall or short deck design?
Is it timed with a belt or did you use a chain?
Very cool, can't wait to see the rotary (13b with twin turbos) I hope. Good luck to you.
Very cool and inspiring. Great job.
Cool video. He's put a lot of work into these. I also dig the BP shirt.
Frank to the person who finds a cure for cancer:
"Oh great! You cured cancer, but did you think of curing ebola, coronary disease and alzheimer's as well?"
Grafight23 thats another project. I'll get to that when i have the time
Grafight23 The cure has been found plenty of times. But theres no money in cure.
There's plenty of money in cure, the problem is that Cancer is a feature, not a bug. Your body can't tell the difference between normal cells and cancer cells. It's evolution's way of keeping human population in check. Looking for a cure for cancer is like looking for a cure for death.
People like to use the term "cure for cancer," but cancer is hundreds of diseases. Some forms are curable, others are treatable, but it's extremely difficult to find a catch-all cure because for how many different forms the diseases take.
Exactly, plus cancer also has many causes and many symptoms, which often mimic those of other illnesses so it's easily misdiagnosed, and not treated in time.
Hey hey, Frank is an AvE fan!
F22_Pilot who isn't :)
One of the best CZcams channels ever.
Frank is an asshole. (At least in this video to the guy)
I think he was just excited to get his hands on it and assumed the creator would be equally excited about the project.
Good ol' uncle bumblefuck
This guy is building all this with a cheap printer that everyone can afford or use...not the industrial printer for the big companies. Excellent work sir!! Hat is off too you!!
That's awesome. Especially transmissions
thank you for saying, "the engine is powered by the motor" lol
Franks shirt is skookum as frig!
"What's your design process?"
"I'm basically a mechanical engineering savant."
OK
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
They were fixing. Trying to figure out how they could do it. This is great. Very nice.
The lowest temperature fuel is compressed air. It would be ideal as it cools as it expands. It would require no modification to your prints and help prevent the plastic pieces from melting at higher RPMs

"Transmission.." *shows a differential...
First I thought what's the problem that's part of the transition(its transmitting power from the engine), then I remembered Americans call the gearbox the Transmission.
Interviewer excitement level = 100. Builders excitement level = 1
this guy did an amazing job -- I understand what he meant by the "lack of time".
So cool! I'm going to give it a go
Eric needs a team. What a legend!
so awesome man thanks for sharing
Excellent educational model for budding mechanics and printers!
Could this make creating one's own v12 engine more affordable? If castings are made for iron and steel
You know a guy is a genius when he cant explain how he does it :o)
i found these a couple months back and now im determined to get a printer to try these.. :D
These weird guys that take the time to do this kind of stuff are really the coolest guys ever!
@1:04 [and the video thumbnail]
Why are the exhaust pipes connected to the block, below the heads of the pistons and valves? Surely they don't route the exhaust through the block, around the outside of the cylinder, right?
You forgot the most important cool part. The distributor and spark plug lights. That is what set the original V8 plastic engines apart from the cheap competition.
What? no way, this guy must have a 3d scanner. That is some serious talent if you can model this with just your eyes and some measurements!
Inspiring work!
Great video. I want to see what that miniature steam locomotive was all about.
Brilliant!!!!! These should be in Schools!!!! This is what I grew up on were the Monogram Visible V8/ everything else. Thank you.
Do the Automatic Transmission and the magic goes away maybe not.
Wow good work on using files off of thingiverse
This is really cool!
the prop shaft to the axle should be rotated 90° in the sliding part. It looks as if the rotation speed was a bit unsteady. Really nice work, though, I'm impressed!
Aweeeesome! Never cared for 3d Printers but as a car guy I think I have to buy one now!
WOW! Awesome! Thank you!
To run them on their own power, you could go pneumatic, using a small air-compressor to provide some pressure. It would mean altering valve timing though (would basically mean becoming a two-stroke). Dig the subie motor.
so cool and creative !
To answer for this engine guy... great ideas, go ahead Frank! :)
I regret that I can only give this gentleman one thumbs up. Well done, sir!!
* polite clap *
Bravo on the Manual transmission
Can you ran the engine with compressed air if you mess a bit with the valve timing?
dude the gearbox is beautiful
this is great for rapid prototyping! i want to throw together duje engine designs
Eric also has a CZcams channel if you want to see more footage!
You see? THIS is what we want. Neat stuff that's not just corporate brown nosing. The peeks into the behind the scenes of films is cool, don't get me wrong, but some of the other segments have felt a little too sponsored for our tastes. Please keep with this style of video, it feels much more genuine. Thanks,
but it doesn't pay the bills
& if they don't get their bills paid, how are they able to afford to bring these sort of awesome genuine content to us?
It's not that sponsored videos aren't important, especially with how the
whole advertiser thing is going as of late, but a whole lot of vids as
of late have felt really, REALLY fake. Transparency is the key, Fox
letting Adam have access to the hero spacesuit from The Martian to
promote the home release was cool, the last two mailbags, on the other
hand, felt like ads for the prop auction house and the foam sword
manufacturer disguised badly. Adam's PSAs from the NHTSA were fine, the
last few Maker spotlights have been pushing it. Maker was always "The
Amateur doing cool things (IN A CAVE) with a box of scraps." I'm sorry,
but once you have an "Industrial Division" for your products, you've
graduated from an Amateur "Maker", to a full blown Manufacturer. Don't get me wrong, as long as the content is fresh and interesting, we'll love it, but some aspects are getting stale. Also, sorry, that turned into a bit of a rant.

Those projects pay for these videos.
Not even a single word about that lovely LS right there 😓💔
I can tell that this guy is totally exhausted. I bet he worked until the last minute to get ready for maker faire.
