7. Radial-Engine-Style Cylinder With Cooling Fins

Radial-engine-style cylinder orbit gif

Prompt

Create a single solid radial-engine-style cylinder as a STEP model in millimeters.

The main cylinder axis is vertical along Z and centered at the origin.

Create a central barrel with diameter 36 mm and height 70 mm, bottom at Z = 0.

Around the barrel, add 12 horizontal circular cooling fins. Each fin is 2 mm thick in Z, has outside diameter 62 mm, and is spaced every 5 mm from Z = 10 mm to Z = 65 mm.

Add a thicker base flange at the bottom, outside diameter 70 mm and thickness 8 mm, with six vertical mounting holes of diameter 5 mm on a 56 mm bolt circle.

Add a top cap cylinder, diameter 44 mm and height 8 mm, from Z = 70 mm to Z = 78 mm.

Add an angled spark-plug boss protruding from the side of the top cap. The boss is a cylinder of diameter 12 mm and length 24 mm, angled upward at 35 degrees from horizontal, with its axis pointing outward in the positive X direction.

Add a 5 mm diameter hole through the boss along its own axis.

Add small 1 mm fillets to the outer fin edges and base flange edges.

Export as a STEP file.
