During school this year I took a CAD class and during the class we were assigned a motion project where we needed to design something where my moving 1 piece it would cause something else to move and so naturally I created an engine. Before we were even assigned the project I had already created a single cylinder engine since I had extra time in class due to finishing other projects early and soon after I finished that some of the kids said I should make a V8 version and so I got to work and soon after found out about the motion project and so i already had my idea for what to make. After a couple of months and lots of revisions I finished and seeing that my school has a 3D printer we decided to print a model of it and here it is: I also got a few pictures of the individual parts that make it up of which there are 8 parts and 51 pieces. And to finish it off I took a few videos of it being driven by a drill so you can see it work. {Spoiler}
The model is 1/3rd scale of an actual engine and has a capacity of 212cc. the ful size version would be a 5.8L with a 4in bore and a 3.5in stroke. Next year I'm taking the same class so I can help other students and work on my own stuff and I plan on designing heads for the engine including valves, cams, etc so that it looks like an actual engine.

That is awesome, not really completely understanding how engines work, this was pretty cool to visualize with a 3d printed engine.

Will that fit in my Honda? Easily, it's only 7" long.

I was going to try and re-create your engine on Automation but the lowest a V8 can go is 541cc

Nicely done. What CAD software did you use to model it?

Sorry Its not directly related to this but I didnt want to create a new thread just for this
So I've entered a 3D design competition and if I get enough likes on my entry I could win my own 3D printer so if the community here could helpp me out that would be great so please go give this a like. Thank you
Also the engine is going pretty well this year. I've printed off the heads and the supercharger and I'm working on some chain and sprocket so it will be finished pretty soon and I'll post an update then.

Heres what the engine looks like now Mostly finished, just a few things I'm unhappy with.
