Hi there, here is my design of a piston/connecting rod assembly based on a Subaru EJ20 STI motor. These parts were designed through the Onshape CAD software.
Printing Instructions:
I would recommend printing the piston and connecting rod split as shown in the photos for the best possible details on both sides. I used superglue/CA glue to join the two parts together afterwards.
Assembly is as follows:
After joining the cut pieces with glue, place one circlip into one side of the piston itself. Then roughly align the holes of the piston/connecting rod and insert the wrist pin between them from the open side. Finally, insert the remaining circlip into the other side.
The author marked this model as their own original creation.
