Description

This is a fully working 3D printed air motor using a wobble cylinder design.
It’s not just a model—it actually runs at high RPM using compressed air.

Designed as both a hands-on STEM project and a display-worthy mechanical build, this motor demonstrates real engineering principles in a compact, printable format.

🔧 Key Features

  • Fully functional wobble cylinder mechanism
  • Runs smoothly at high speed
  • Uses real ball bearings for reduced friction
  • Designed to work primarily with PLA
  • Detailed 40+ page build and operation manual

📘 What You’ll Learn

  • Pneumatics basics
  • Rotary motion and mechanical timing
  • Friction reduction using bearings
  • Real-world assembly techniques

🛠 Build Info

  • Includes full material list (bearings, fittings, tubing)
  • Step-by-step instructions with real photos
  • No special tools required beyond a typical hobby setup

This is an original design created from scratch.
If you’re into functional prints, engineering projects, or just want something unique that actually moves, this is a rewarding build.

Boost MeDid you enjoy this model?  I certainly hope so because I spent a LOT of time on it.  Please consider sending me a boost, it really makes my day and helps pay for all the research and development.  Thank you!
