My pleasure Damon.
Not to much to show for an afternoons work today but editing in cura, printing and making tiny parts fit correctly take time.

Editing in cura and printing the air cleaner drums and drum tops today.
A tip for those like me that are not familiar with creating stl files from engineers drawings, collect basic stl files from the various sites on the internet which are often free, simple objects like cylinders, discs, square boxes, rods and anything that looks interesting, then using your imagination and Cura edit those objects , you will need to join pieces together to make more complex parts like engine blocks and pipe fittings ect.
Cyno offers a very strong adhesive for pla, once bonded you will have difficulty separating those parts. Drilling and tapping works well to.
