3D printed Toyota 22RE engine

Printed on a homemade RepRap Prusa 3D printer.
Completely reverse engineered Toyota 22RE 4 cylinder engine. Can completely print a fully rotating model. Working crank, pistons, and valve train. The valves open and close!!!. It may not be the most exciting engine but its the only one I had in my garage. Great if you want to learn about engines and how the moving parts in them work. All parts are printed except for a few bearings and fasteners.
More than 3 days of total print time.
The block alone was 34 hours. So make sure you have a well calibrated and reliable printer.
Some print times calculated in Cura at .2mm layer height
Engine Block - 40 hours
Head - 23 hours
Valve Cover - 10 hours
Oil pan - 14 hours
See Thingiverse for all the info and part files.

[@southernwulf6983]

they already made a car using a 3D printer

[@racketman2u]

+Brenton Carter well yes, if by "car" you mean plastic equivalent of a golf cart.

[@rebgaming6268]

[@WhiskeyNeat36]

This is awesome. I went to a technical college for automotive maintenance and having not grown up with access to cars to pull apart, it's models like this that made understanding and learning possible for me. With that said, this model was probably much cheaper and did just as well if not better job at demonstrating part movements than anything I had in college. I have yet to mess with 3d printing, but I truly admire it's capabilities and the work and time every creator puts into each print. Thanks for sharing.

[@moidar9454]

Would like to see it running on Air :)

[@ChrisFredriksson]

Really beautiful!

[@DMX-PAT]

Cool man!! Unlimited potential for teaching purposes!!

[@murexz]

Dude you messed up the timing of the engine when you put the head back on... jk lol super awesome. You can make models for learning purposes oh god the possibilities are endless

[@Fuzzysword]

Dude, hats off. great work!

[@SHOWYOUTHEBEST]

Awesome clips.. Nicely done.. Subbed!

[@comanderjuul]

This plus 3D Metal printing! :D

[@MadazMazdas]

I so wanna see that with spark plugs and fuel, how long would it last before it melts or explodes? lol

[@halfway2hell]

If you convert the pieces to metal with investment casting you would have a proper engine lol :D

[@MadazMazdas]

yea lol, but wouldn't it be fun to watch the catastrophic failure of a plastic engine? xD

[@halfway2hell]

LOL Yeah it would be fun to watch

[@jondoe141]

Id love to see a honda vtec engine

[@mohdfaisal7482]

Fantastic !!

[@DEATHINATOR123]

great to see the parts moving! did you build the original CAD file 1:1 and re-scale afterwards?

[@3DPrintedEngines]

+DEATHINATOR123 Yes, everything was modeled at full scale then resized when printing.

[@jimmysinger2154]

That's very cool how long does it take to make something like that

[@christophergordon7372]

hate to sound totally ignorant, but I am. we're the parts printed separately & assembled? Or do the printers have the capability to build everything in one shot. thanks, amazing work

[@NomaddUK]

+Christopher Gordon - You can print it in a single job if you are VERY brave and have a VERY accurate and big enough printer. But there would be loads of support material inside that would need to be removed. This would mean taking it apart to get the support material out. So, realistically, it is better and MUCH easier to print it as part and then assemble it. I have also built my own 3D prusa i3 by reading up on bits needed and then building it. It works perfectly about 90% of the time. You need to be patient and expect LOTS of failures before it is complete. Seriously, try it. It is not that difficult to do and WAYYYY cheaper than buying one.

[@christophergordon7372]

Thanks Nomadd, appreciate the response

[@Milner62]

what kind of printer did you use? ive been waiting myself for the tech to become cheap enough to do mechanical replicas of my vehicles and i have to say that model looks damn good.

[@ClanEAQc]

+Milner62 RepRap Prusa 3D printer

[@AaronMartinCOOLVIDEO]

That is cool did you make that on the 3d printer or did you buy it somewhere?

[@3DPrintedEngines]

Made it on my 3D printer

[@AaronMartinCOOLVIDEO]

That is cool you selling Those?

[@3DPrintedEngines]

I can, but it would probably be cheaper for you to buy a 3D printer kit and a couple rolls of filament and just download the files.

[@AaronMartinCOOLVIDEO]

Ok I will look it to a 3D printer.

[@danyala.1659]

Eric Harrell Approximately, how much electricity is being used to run this engine? A couple amps?

[@zaapa311]

wow. does it run on battries?

[@koleasert]

Does it have vtec?

[@3DPrintedEngines]

That's Honda yo

[@koleasert]

Eric Harrell It was a joke ._.

[@koleasert]

Dr0pthebass1 The fact that its not a honda engine is the joke.

[@بسمهعربية]

Can I get the file in SLD format ? please

[@beast2k13]

What valve springs do you use?

[@user-rs1990]

What size of 3D Printer do I need for this one? :-/

[@GenBloodLust]

thats amazing do you have the working files? I would love to play with this

[@TyrantPanda]

+GenBloodLust Same here! Would be nice but I seems like those was some dedicated hard work.

[@TyrantPanda]

+GenBloodLust Nevermind found it www.thingiverse.com/thing:644933

[@MyAccountBitch]

pretty awesome :)

[@louisortiz6686]

Could you make me one? This is my favorite engine and I would love to have one!

[@MrGnugfur]

what material did you print this in?

[@standardengineco.7428]

Timing gears in these motors?

[@berkeonlu7135]

how can I do it record a video

[@1997CWR]

does it work thou?

[@nicolaschampagne8988]

wow

[@GoofyGooverXD]

como 3 meses ha de haber tardado en imprimirse ._.

[@tallermktronik5010]

WAO¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ Como consigo un modelo asi para mi escritorio? Por favor avísenme, es algo fabuloso, me gusta, soy fanático de TOYOTA y estos motores 22R, 22R E, 22R ET, GRACIAS POR LA INFORMACION SI ALGUIEN ME PUEDE AYUDAR

[@bsn2fnp]

are you going to sale kits?

[@anoobstreams4975]

What hardware are used

[@crasheralejandro]

Estan bien padres pero no hay nada como motores patelo xD

[@andygaras]

how did you make the model and how long did it take?

[@3DPrintedEngines]

I made the 3D models in SolidWorks and printed them on a RepRap Prusa 3D printer. Total design time was probably 60 hours, maybe more. Total time to print all the pieces was more than 72 hours.

[@andygaras]

Eric Harrell brilliant work, were there any scans involved?

[@3DPrintedEngines]

Andy Garag Thanks, everything was measured with a set of calipers and an angle finder so the dimensional accuracy if probably off here and there. As for scans, I wish I had a 3D scanner, it would have made modeling all the parts much easier.

[@american3dprinting866]

Eric Harrell In our experience, you're much better off modeling in CAD than scanning. Scanning will approximate stuff, but for precision and parts that fit together you really need CAD.

[@keithskillz90210]

American 3D Printing What about scanning the part, and then some post processing of the point cloud data to generate a model? That still should make things faster and easier.

[@natemanning3744]

.. dude.. print the whole truck.. minus the roof so u can get in.. and run it off hydrogen gas.

[@RhetteLawe]

Is this full size?

[@johnappleseed7761]

are you stupid?

[@Wrkncacnter777]

It is once the rest of the world gets shrunk down to .35 scale.

[@J4K_Shred]

i have a real one :D

[@jason28leo2012]

yea, this must be the Honda factory. I call bullshit on it being 3d printing. @

[@commando2074]

now you done messed up the timing

[@ahuman4157]

I had this motor in my Celica but with a auto trans. I had no complaints about it. It would burn first and chirp 2nd and 3rd. It was the best 500 dollar beater I ever bought in my early 20's

[@Mutley3D]

I dont usually comment on videos, unless something exceptional! As an ex mechanic i will understate that This is pretty exceptional!

[@85YotaMan]

YESSS! One of my favorite engines, this is AWESOME!!!

[@jvogler_art4708]

I wonder if 3D printing can become the future for remanufacturing old parts.

[@howacarworks]

Absolutely awesome! I've built a Miata engine in Blender - down to the nuts and bolts. I can appreciate how much extra work it would be to then optimize it for print and to finish each part. Incredible work.

One of the best 3D printed models i have ever seen. Very good work !!

[@bkbenelli]

Very cool. The 22RE is a fantastic engine too! Can't beat the old pickups with 22RE (and 4WD if you're in snow areas).

[@Gunshot115]

Wow, that is really incredible. Just being able to model something like this is incredibly educational. Great video :)

[@Fluburtur]

I don't like people losing their shit over a 3d printed things that could have easily been done with other technology but this thing is actually pretty cool

[@MrSpad007]

Properly calibrated Prusa. See guys diy printers can do one heck of a job if the power and plastic are not interrupted. dependable? I would not want to try a 40 hr print on a store bought printer with out one heck of a lot practice and testing.

[@3DPrintedEngines]

Exactly. I always tell people that want to buy a 3d printer to just build your own. Even if its an unassembled kit. If you build your machine, youre more aware of what its capable of. And you're gonna have to make repairs on any store bought printer no matter what brand anyways. Might as well know how to fix it since you're the one that built it.

[@ahuman4157]

Eric Harrell On the cheap to get into this any suggestions? Basically not to get killed by the old lady. I've been dreaming of having one for a long time.

[@3DPrintedEngines]

A Human You can get a complete kit from ebay for about $330. Search for Prusa i3 kit. You'll need some basic technical knowledge but if you've built your computer or you're good at googling or following instructions you should be find. There's a ton of support for RepRap printers online. For something thats already assembled and ready to print there are many for around $4-500 but i dont have any experience with them and they normally have smaller build areas that wouldnt fit this engine. You can also look up printrbot too, good printers and support.

[@MrSpad007]

A Human Read, read and read some more find out all you can. then decide what you want to build. here is a source RepRap.Forums forums.reprap.org/ and see what improved stuff you can download. go back in time at thingiverse and see what some folk made to correct what they think a printer needs and see if your kit has the improvements you want. as with any thing you get what you pay for. Good luck have fun.

[@ahuman4157]

thank you both its getting approval for a base model that I can make improvements as funds allow.

[@snappingturtlegaming4258]

How much for the whole 22re kit with engine gearbox and all the other stuff in Australian dollars

[@carolinedunaway2141]

I printed all the parts but putting it together is a pain haha. It woulda been awesome if you did an assembly video - or a complete assembly guide. However, with a lot of troubleshooting, it IS going together. You are awesome for reverse engineering this! I really hope I can get it to run on its own... So far the parts move manually all together. I hope you continue to post more files for different engines! These are fantastic, you are super talented.

[@ChrisHarmon1]

How about a 2JZ-GE/GTE and a Getrag 6 speed. Ok I'll settle for IS300's W55 and 2JZ :)

[@ginnynewman317]

My 17 year old son just has the engine block left to print. This is awesome and it really inspired him. Thanks for taking on this project!

[@DatM135i]

that is sick for mechanical education purposes, way less dirtier, a mechanic can learn stuff for the engines theyre gona work with on a scaled model first

[@brytonmassie]

This is off the 90s Camry's right? How do you do all this modeling by the way? I'd really like to do one of my 2AZ-FE engine.

[@fuad9365]

Hello, I love this engine. Great work mean. Can i have solidworks step or any another file to can add some modifications into this engine for education purposes. Thanks in advance.

[@Xizervexius]

Apparently 87 Jeep owners thumbed this down as they couldn't get their motors to work...

[@svik]

ls that a joke? That is not a working engine, just a model with slow moving parts with help of a motor like a school lab model.

[@ReinkeDK]

Amazing things you print, just found your transmission. What printer do you use?

[@3DPrintedEngines]

Søren Reinke Printed on a RepRap prusa and a Kossel mini

[@joelnadar9061]

what are the measurments of the screws, nuts and all non printed parts? can somebody help me on that

[@bennyturbo1409]

WOW that's amazing! looks great and I'm a big fan of the 22 RE.

[@krisdevoecht]

Cool!

[@claudiodalton]

hI dude...the motor is 30 RPM ?? thanks

[@experiencedwitness2575]

That is adorable

[@ThisisWar51511]

I plan on printing this but I do have a question, is the only thing I need to buy are the bolts to connect everything? I mean I don't care if it doesn't have the little electric motor on anything I just want to make this to educate my friends and family on engines a little because so many people take them for granted. Also I know its many parts, do I have to print the same thing more than once like for the crank and like 4 individual pistons

[@troublesum7]

The fuck you did that for? Fkn well done!

[@Bojengle]

The gear that drives the Cam Gear is called the Crank Gear, it sits on the Crank Shaft underneath the Oil Pump and Timing Chain Cover. The Crank Gear rotates the Cam Gear buy meshing the Timing Chain to the teeth of the gears. I Imagine if you can do all this so far, you wouldn't have a problem making it more detailed. Also a Cap-less Distributor would be neat with a couple Dizzy Gears, one being on the Cam Shaft.

[@thiagoeferson2697]

brother you concegue one of those to min if so how much? if not you know where I can buy

[@wladimirkarpenko6320]

What springs did you use for valves?

[@altatk1]

What engine is used for the rotation of aggregate. From where reducing gear. Tell.

[@kstanneart]

I wonder if there would be a way to print a chevy 350 and a muncie sm429 to go with it?

[@IsaacDozier1]

favorite engine, thing is indestructible and so friggin simple.

[@davidteixiera8398]

Put some headers and side draft mikuni carburetors and a distributor with wires to complete that 22r go to lc engineering to see all the goodies to complete that amazing engine.

[@samljer]

If you started it, how many turn overs before it melted? LOL

[@Corkoth55]

samljer you would need 3d printed smol spark plugs

[@thekaduu]

Congrats on wasting $100+ filament for making an engine to put it ina car that won't stop when break pedal is pushed ;)

[@TheSecuritysix]

He's not putting the engine in anything

[@afonsomorgadinho]

Does someone know the minimum size of the printing bed to make this? AMAZING BUILD by the way.

[@ryanthethumb]

whats the block dimensions my beds only 140 x140x140 😧 would it scale down abit

[@american3dprinting866]

Just now saw this featured on Thingiverse - flipping awesome! Now, instead of the 22RE, how about a 2F? =P

[@CarlosPereira-od6pd]

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@travismoore7849]

You do know that if you can 3D print that maybe you could 3D print a compressed air engine.

[@3DPrintedEngines]

travis moore Yes, this could be a driven off of compressed air but that would require that head be bolted on. The design intent here was to have a engine that could be taken apart and where you can see the internal workings.

[@PracticalProjects]

That's amazing! It is very good quality for a diy 3d printer

[@johnathonkarcz6605]

Thanks for posting this on thingiverse. I will definitely have one of theses running on my desk one day. Great job!

[@Dog-my1yb]

do you have te exact the dimensions of the transmision bolts holes and crank center of fullsize 22re

[@xinox73]

You seriously have to much Money and spare time, make this Taiwan crap ^^

[@junior214223]

Excuse me as I am not proficient in the 3d tech. but did you print all of that out or did you print out each part and then put it together?

Hello Eric great build, may i ask what 3D software do you use to design this engine please ? thanks so much

[@Dude-yo5ec]

what is your printer size? any info on the printer?

[@southernwulf6983]

make a V8 diesel engine with the 6 speed transmission then I I'll be impressed I might even buy it

[@southernwulf6983]

also be capital of high speed

[@712erik]

guess your valve timing is pretty off now

[@henriquecorrea1562]

great prototype! but I challenge you to make it fire up >:D
