CAM love the 3D printed model and the innovative use of soda cans
We have determined, current engine weight will be approx 10lbs using 3D printed parts (as produced so far).
I shall discuss spool costs with Department to take this further.
They also thanked Kevin Bower for his support in cleaning model too (as I had acknowledged his help in my correspondence – participant acknowledgement being important).

Above : Incomplete 3D printer tests (MakerBot Replicator 2x)
Initial tests look promising, but we are getting incomplete prints – not sure why yet, although I suspect writing data to a DropBox enabled back-up folder may have corrupted original data.
Many thanks to Brenton Hilbig, a Junior Industrial Design student for helping me print the above – I was attending a competition at the time.
Further analysis / design modifications view-able here.
