3D print a high power DIY Stirling engine - a field report

In this video I show you my experience with printing main parts of my half rhombic drive Stirling engine.
It presents the printing of different materials as ASA , PETG , IGUS I180 , IGUS J260 and the problems I have with them.

As always I am very happy for comments and suggestions.

Greetings
Ralf

Sooo many hours of work and trouble shooting condensed into such a short video, and still staying focused on the original goal in spite of all the deviations required to edge closer to it, is just impressive!

Dear Ralf, it was a pretty good display about your precise work again! Congratulation! Stirling community guys will crying for the plans! :) Anyway I'm so curious about your next step! Kind regards! BLADE

I hope in my lifetime someone creates a Rotary Stirling Engine. Which I feel would be the best of all worlds.

Impressive results you have, also, your machine tools & workshop are awesome...
Sterling engines is one of those technologies that exist in the public domain, but are being withheld from the public...
The potential of Sterling engines is to provide a compact, silent power unit that can produce heat and power for homes & small businesses independent of the grid....
For that reason, it is not allowed to be...but that might change in the future...

This is a man who knows how to lead the way on this uphill ride. Pay attention!

You are best in diy stirling building!

[ManualdoMotorStirling]

I really love your projects, congratulations!

Always great to watch your progress. It looks like you will soon have a powerful generator! More than the 300w!

I am excited for your next video!

[ronroberts]

Thank you for sharing this video, and also your journey through many different upgrades.

Can't wait to give it a try! Hoping to grab power from a campfire while winter camping. You da Tru Tru 🙌 you might just change the world with this. Power in third world is severely hard to come by outside of cities.

Incredibly awesome work!! I've been researching Stirling engines for a few days now, and your work is near the top! I do a lot of 3D printing, so this is very cool to me. You may want to try a PLA+ rather then PETG, it's very strong. Anyway, keep it up!

[aminlemp]

It is an amazing work, your knowledge ist incredible!😮😮

[tudedude]

Very nice work and careful research - the CNC parts are very well designed and made - an excellent project. 3D printing can be very useful but it does have it's limitations.

[Negyo]

Wow! Thank you! I have waited this video almost 9 month!

[Trilobyte]

ganz grosses Kino! viel Erfolg weiterhin mit dem Stirling

[andrewphillip]

This is some really awesome work - and very cool result!

Godlike! I would like to have half as much know how as you have, maybe I would have built one myself by now 😅

[TheMason]

Echt Beeindruckend. Really Amazing. Wenn ich die Fähigkeiten dazu hätte, würde ich mir so'n Ding sofort nachbauen. Und damit meine ich beides ;-) Die EDM Maschine und die Stirling Engine. Echt klasse was du da zusammengebaut hast.

Hallo Ralf,
das sieht ja Sehr gut aus! Was mir wirklich toll scheint ist wen Sie die Wärmetauscher in Kombination mit einem warmwasser Püfferspeicher machen könnte (90grad celsius). So das man das Stirling auch mit einem thermische Solarkollektor oder mit pelletheizung benützen könnte und das wärme wasser als batterie :)

Mfg,
Mark
