Nice, good stuff man. Warms my heart to see people going above and beyond for what most people consider an outdated engine. I thank you sir!

Interesting, thanks for sharing! I'll have to see if I can look at the files on the CAD computers at my college.

I have no idea what any of this means, but it looks very interesting Lol. I was only able to view the .stl files.
I imagine software / equipment like this would make CAD 3D modeling super easy and convenient?

I'm attempting to teach myself Fusion360 at the moment. The ultimate goal is to model a 4age and all its components but man, its time consuming modeling everything by hand and taking measurements Lol.

I was also able to look at the STL files at college. Very interesting! I didn't have time to get a proper screen cap of the image, but I took a couple pics with my phone.
