DESCRIPTION

Hello All!

I've posting my latest project, a model of a two cylinder steam engine circa 1830. The drawings can be downloaded here if interested: http://www.inventorwizard.be/blueprints/index.html

I stayed fairly true to the drawings only straying for errors, omissions & additions. I felt every Steam Engine should have a Flyball (centrifugal) Governor so I added one of my own design.

I always try to challenge myself somewhat on these projects. This time the challenge was to model all threads to proper specs, internal, external, fasteners & fittings. Of course this also means all threads have to be clocked properly during assembly.

I’ve uploaded my original Solidworks 2014 part and assembly files as well as several other formats. If I’m missing a format you would like just ask and I will try to oblige.

P.S. The renders look best if downloaded in full hi-res. =)
