After a lot of requests, I finally made it — a W12 engine block fidget keychain!

Turn the flywheel and watch the pistons move inside the cylinders. The mechanism is designed to be satisfying to play with while also looking like a miniature mechanical engine.

 Features:

Functional flywheel mechanism

Moving pistons

Prints completely without supports

Cylinder firing order is the same as on a real W12 engine

Designed as a compact keychain

 asy to customize with different filament colors

Printing recommendations

The model can be printed without supports.

For the camshafts, I recommend using PETG. It provides better durability for the moving parts and should handle repeated use better. Important: I also recommend adding a small amount of lubricant to the camshafts during assembly. This will make the mechanism smoother and reduce friction between the moving parts.

If you print one, I'd love to see your make! 

 What engine should I make next?
