Nozzle diameter - 0.4mm
Print width - 0.5mm
Layer height - 0.2mm
Cylinder Head Print info:
Top/Bottom layers - 6
Outer walls - 6 (enable single wall preimeters for the cylinder volume fins)
Infill - 30%

Required Hardware:
13pcs M2x10 Bolts
6pcs M2 Nuts
4pcs MR128 8x12x2.5mm bearings
1pcs 0.5mm Viton Rubber Sheet
2pcs Oring (7mm Outside diameter 2mm Cross section)
1pcs 6mm Ball bearing
1pcs Brass tube 3mm Outside Dia 2mm Inside Dia (Need atleast 25mm to cut for conrod inserts and piston tube)
1pcs 1mm Steel wire (piston pin)
1pcs M3x10mm bolt (propeller adaptor attachment)
2pcs M3x6mm bolts (mount T-style propeller)
1pcs 1/8 BSP pneumatic fitting
1pcs O-ring (21mm Outside diameter 2.5mm Cross section diameter)
*Depending on which cylinder head you choose to use, you'll need either of these, not both.
Hole in the diaphragm needs to be 4mm and I recommend using a hole punch as cutting with a knife can result in the diaphragm tearing after little use.
The length of the brass tube and pin on the piston needs to be exactly the correct length or the engine won't run. I've attached an image of the length (brass tube 4mm from piston top, pin 10mm from piston top).
