Hmmm. I have 3D printed gears and PLA gears have outlasted my expectations but I would never ever trust a 3D printed gear in a car or anything else that involves human safety.
This Youtube channel is all about doing outrageous experiments and mods with old Ladas. Whatever they do really doesn’t have to be reliable 🙂
Because they don’t go on the public roads, or don’t consider lives of ordinary Russians to be important enough?
I can answer this without watching the video: it’ll work for a certain amount of time before it doesn’t, and then your engine explodes.
Lada engines don’t have valve / piston interference. They won’t explode. But yeah: the 3D-printed parts won’t last even a trip to the supermarket.
Glorious soviet engineering saves the
dayhalf-trip to the supermarket xDLuckily it’s so empty that you won’t have your car weighted down by your groceries
I see you have been traveling a lot in your long life.
Is that comment supposed to be mean ? (I genuinely don’t understand, sorry)
What about filling the oil pan with plastic, blocking the pickup, and starving the engine of oil? lol
Cam gears are on the outside of the engine though. No danger of all of that.
BMW makes their engines out of plastic. They work, but not for long.
