WALL-E on Backburner

So.. with school in full swing, it looks like I will have to take a little pause on WALL-E for a while. I am currently working on a little compression-ignition engine in CAD which I will machine this semester among other projects possibly. Here's what I have so far:


It's not that bad of a rendering, huh... it was rendered in Keyshot using the stock materials that they had. I don't know all the bells and whistle of Keyshot so I couldn't find a way to entirely remove the background...

There are some things I still need to work on like:
- Figure out how to attach the glass fuel tank to the stands
- Add a 90 degree elbow fitting to the side of the fuel tank
- Add fasteners to attacj the engine to the base
- Add fasteners to attach the stands to the base
- Figure out what to attach the end of the crankshaft to

I really didn't want to mix WALL-E with other stuff so I won't be back to this blog until I get a break in school. I will be back!
