What is your build volume? Can I print this with 190x190x130mm?

@Daniel_Kusz
Oil pan is the longest part with 195mm but it’s just too scale down the parts.

Why didn’t you use a material with a higher temperature tolerance, like ABS? PLA starts getting soft at 140°C.

I may have to keep it away from putting it in the oven

Wait, this is for a model of the engine. I misunderstood and thought it was for a real engine that was in use lol
