Thingiverse mirror The R-66 is a continuously rotating pneumatic rotary engine. It is not a stepper motor, so no complicated valve manifold is required to get it running. One pressurized pneumatic line is sufficient. Video: https://youtu.be/NayswdkPZ0 Multiple versions are available for the pneumatic connections (4 mm tube or M5), piston type (conventional or monolithic) and front rotary plate (solid shaft or hex bit). Seal cutting tool can be customized with thing:3020690. Enjoy creating and running this motor! If you have any questions, just ask.
