[@christianbuczko1481]

Now they just need to go watch KZbin tutorials on how to make quality carbon fibre...

[@timothyer2447]

Nick & Richard: If you guys ever need to replace the arches, might I recommend using heat-set inserts instead? They are installed by pushing the insert into a slightly undersized hole with the blunt tip of a soldering iron. The heat is transferred through the insert to the plastic locally, softening it and allowing the insert to slide in. They are much stronger than threaded inserts, I've used them on a 3D-printed intake manifold where the plenum halves were held together with them with no issues.

[@wagonista]

Also to add to this, PLA is a very brittle plastic and may deform on a hot sunny day. Glass or carbon filled vinyl material is available for 3D printing and is better for end-use. But from the video, it sounds like the plan is to create molds and make these in carbon fiber, a la instagram's @3D_magic_mike.

[@jordanrelkey]

Yep, this is the best way to install thread-serts in thermoplastics.

[@aussiebloke609]

14:16 Don't think heat-set inserts will work with the fiberglass or composites Rich said they're going to make the actual arches out of. These ones are still intended to be patterns for making a mold, rather than for actual use...and the current inserts are there so they can fit the temporarily and ensure the attachment points are in the correct position.

[@troyfankell6581]

They can achieve the same result as a heat set insert by doing a wet install and dab the insert with epoxy.

Hey there fellas. Parts look good. I am glad to know through my own experience printing plastics that you aren't intending to use PLA parts on a car, rather you are making molds. That carbon will look great I'm sure. Always a bit cheeky with the hints aren't you,, everyone knows that molds are red.

[@UkraineTrain21]

Would skinning these with carbon fiber be a good solution rather than making molds?

[@atsernov]

@@UkraineTrain21 That doesn't change the brittleness or the sensitivity to heat, just laminates it like a windshield so that if it cracks or breaks it doesn't fall apart. I suppose if you used actual resin and fiber it would help it keep shape in heat. Also, it makes a lot of sense to make molds. Once you have a good buck a mold is not terribly hard to make and you can reproduce the flares easily if you ever stuff one up on a cone or barrier. (they'll be autocrossing this thing) Once the mold is made you can still use the buck (and see how well these hold up on a car). If the buck is not strong enough to pull out of the mold then it's not strong enough to be on the car.

[@denziljoe]

I disabrie that all molds are red

[@geniusanthony]

@@denziljoe This is true but it is a good color to see imperfections. I'm sure you know this but your parts will only be as good as the mold used to make them as far as surface finish goes

[@geniusanthony]

@@atsernov I like your explanation. I think something that people don't think about is the size change though small could be still significant as a tolerance stack up. The bucks that were made are true size, any parts made over them will be slightly over sized, so using the buck to make a mold will result in true sized durable parts.

Between the rocks and heat, they will be destroyed first drive. They look amazing though. I would make molds before you throw them on the car.

[@godalmighty83]

If they get too hot while sat outside the car then the project has bigger troubles, such as being on fire. You have to take PLA upto about 90c before it bcomes self plying, although with a 3mm thikcness (wall thickness is uausally 1.2 or 1.6mm, perhaps 2.4) then they should be quite tough.

[@henkverzeijl1525]

I think they'll be more than tough enough to put on the car, but i'd start by making moulds first nonetheless, just in case...

[@bragr_]

Agreed. Being in England might help temperature wise, but those arches wouldn't survive a summer in the southwest US. Plus UV will make it brittle as it ages. I'd get those molds made soon or reprint with a tougher material, ABS or similar.

[@SKYWURX]

Its not virgin PLA that'll be exposed to sunlight so I wouldn't be worried about UV. Temperature however is absolutely a concern. On a hot day in the UK I wouldn't be surprised to see some warping, especialy around the interface with the car body. On the upside, PLA is REALLY strong so at least it has that going for it. Using these as mold bucks for something carbon would be spot on! I think leaving that as a future upgrade would be the best idea though, its not like a shortcut that you'd regret being a bolt on part.

[@bragr_]

@@SKYWURX I feel like the paint will help, but it's not going to be enough long term for something sitting outside all the time. I've had PLA parts sitting near a window but not in direct sunlight become noticably brittle after time. My money is on these not making it a year.

[@oikkuoek]

I'm so very glad to see this episode on the day it was uploaded. Thank you for that! The episode was marvellous, but some of the design choices left megalithic question marks dangling by the thread.. Now you have two threads on either side of the brass fitting. the finer is holding a hard metal with a file-like surface, packing exponential amount of friction compared to the plastic side. There the thread is coarser, and the material is softer and more brittle. Based on pure math, the fitting should become unthreaded every time when the bolt is rewound. When you get to the final version, I'd suggest you fit those brass fittings with proper thread glue, or simply panel glue. Softer glue seam would give those wings a fighting chance to stay with the car throughout the entire race. Remember, it's not just rocks and sticks you need to prepare for. The sheer wind resistance those flaps pack, will give those mini wheel arch attachmentpoints a complete run for their money. Other than that, a very handy job!

[@Azlehria]

Self-tapping threads behave somewhat differently from pre-formed threads. Externally-threaded inserts have been used successfully in a wide variety of materials for many decades, so your theory does not hold up in practice. Try the math again for an _elastic-deformation, negative-clearance_ thread on the outside.

[@oikkuoek]

@@Azlehria If the outside thread were mirrored, then the fitting would hold perfectly without additional glue. But, in this setup, the outside thread does not hold as much static friction as the inside thread does. Surface area is smaller, and the material is softer, and the overall layout (hard male, soft female) brings the odds to success down even more. Now, if the screw that holds the part in place were made from polymer, then there would be no problem, the screw would thread in and out without compromising the fitting, but the screw is basically a file, grinding the bronze fitting as it threads in. The outside thread is acting more like a plane or a chisel, forming more uniform cut to the material. this cut has some holding properties due to the "against the growth" effect, but again the material choices, the difference in the surface area and the angle of the slope surpasses that effect.

[@Azlehria]

@@oikkuoek "And yet it moves." Threaded inserts _are_ commonly used and _do not_ routinely fail to hold in place. They're used as repairs and original reinforcement; in plastic, metal, wood - even sheetrock. _Because they work._ Certainly they do fail: anything can fail. But those failures are vanishingly rare _in proportion to their use._

[@oikkuoek]

@@Azlehria You still fail to realize the forces these particular fittings, and the chosen materials are up against. Yes, you can hold up a painting on a dry wall with this type of fastening, but if you apply any excess force to the fastening, it will fail. These brass fittings will hold on their place for a while, that's obvious, but my point was, they will not last mounting and re-mounting. The difference between frictions between treads is against that. I know this from experience too, not just math, by dismantling similar setups after use, and doing damage research on failed parts. And they no not work. They only offer a cheap option for a quick fix to a problem that occurred in the design phase. And yes, it is basically possible to make this type of fitting work without additional adhesive, but not with the materials chosen. That is why I made the warning and repair suggestions in the first place. You can by all means keep boosting your ego around this subject all you want, but try to stay on the subject at hand, please.

Best christmas gift ever is; Binky content at last!!!!!

[@10walke]

That is definitely red paint!

I smell a red herring

WOW!!! A Binky video! What a beaut Christmas present! Thanks, lads... 👍😎

[@baronvonteuchter1412]

Nice colour! Oh and “first” as they say.

[@anydaynow01]

Red Binky confirmed?

[@HendoRising]

Red!

[@baronvonteuchter1412]

No I think it will be white with green bits. Maybe a green roof and arches. Or green with white bits.

[@abizkit94]

Nice job from you and Ivan. As long as you don't hit anything or let the car sit in the sun for too long the arches will probably work fine. What you should keep in mind is that PLA becomes brittle at low temps. In the long run 3d printed molds to make arches from fiberglas is probably the way to go, especially considering the overhead of 60 hrs print time and then postage for one arch.

Those turned out looking Great. Ivan did you all a good deed

[@trefod]

The guy doing the painting looks like he's done it a couple of times before.

[@charlieross-BRM]

I find that quite relaxing to watch. I lose track of time. But he runs that sander with no face mask, in addition to the sander's collection/exhaust tube not being connected to anything.

[@brettwad360]

10:20 A quick FYI about the threaded inserts- for 3D printed plastics, you can use heat-set inserts rather than self-tapping inserts. You install them with a soldering iron and the ID does not have to be as precise. It might save you a couple steps on the next build. The heat-set inserts are also made of brass. And while you might say brass "doesn't rust" it most certainly does oxidize and my old, unsafe corroded brass scuba regulator would certainly disagree with that misleading assessment.

[@Hazdazos]

Love the video guys. One thing to consider on these printed fender flares is heat. I've designed and printed a few smaller parts for my classic car and mechanically PLA can be decently robust, but on something like a car that sees hot summer weather as well as heat from a warm engine, the parts can get weak. The glass transition temp (temp at which it weakens considerably) for PLA is only about 60°C. Yeah way hotter than the ambient air, but an engine bay could easily see +100°C. Curious to see how these hold up in the long run.

[@Spookieham]

Teasing bastards! I thought we might get a cheeky look at the colour. I swear I saw pink coming out of the gun at the end!

[@MalcolmPowder]

The colour only came out of the gun once it had been finished off by hand.

[@anydaynow01]

@@MalcolmPowder Brilliant!

[@weegaz22]

Could be red, they showed a pic on Fb of the boot done in primer, but you could seea tiny bit of red under masking tape on the boot lip

[@musewolfman]

With the paint being sprayed like that, red could look pink. That said, there's a Mini running around my town in the summers that is a metallic/candy pink with a Metallic gunmetal gray roof, and it looks absolutely fantastic. So pink wouldn't be the worst choice for a Mini... not sure how it would look against the gray parts they powdercoated earlier though.

[@BLKMGK4]

Throttle Stop Garage has some really good videos on mold making as well as what it takes to use carbon fiber. Mike Patey would be another good one for composite work. I think you'll find PLA "moves" over time and isn't great with heat - sunlight can deform it. Absolutely awesome for molds though and was happy to hear you guys ar e considering it!

[@SuperBounce1987]

I'd lmao if after all this time The colour choice was always Primer Grey

[@Tyborg82]

Ivan Miranda working on Binky has made my day. Great work as always guys!

[@greenreaper1985]

Should have called this one "how we got someone else to did it"

[@martinbernath]

3d printing is amazing for car stuff. I had a mate print me some trumpets for my bike carbs couple years ago and they work great. With a bit of filler and paint you cant even tell its plastic. It really is the future of making custom parts. And the best thing is, even if those arches break, you have a file enabling you to print thousands of them or you can even sell the file to anyone who needs them. Finding someone who can scan and modify the model is the hard part.

[@VFRrider]

Yeah. And they only take 60 hours each😕

[@evilutionltd]

You can't print into a void. Laughs in SLS.

[@Runoratsu]

That‘s cheating! 😜

[@salloroc20]

You got a printer that big? ;)

[@xureality]

SLS doesn't exactly print into a void either...

[@Runoratsu]

@@xureality Powder based laser sintering can.

[@maxhammick948]

@@Runoratsu It's not a void if it's full of powder

Boys, that has just made my Christmas 🎄. Hope you are all keeping safe and well. Looking forward to 2021 and seeing how Binky turns out and big yellow of course. So wishing you and all your family all the very best this holiday season. Derek

[@LickyDischarge]

Any other single blokes like me watching this alone on Christmas Day? Feeling glad I don’t have to join in any festivities.

[@edman79]

Yes, who would want to enjoy themselves?

[@LickyDischarge]

@@edman79 not me. Christmas is based around the birth of a fictional character. May as well celebrate the birth of the tooth fairy.

[@edman79]

@@LickyDischarge Yes, no atheist has ever celebrated Christmas.

[@johndoyle4723]

Excellent, I always thought the other arches were a bit naff, these are what Binky deserves. I guessed you would have a cliffhanger color moment at the end. Thanks.

[@philthewriter]

"I'M NOT PAYING £400!!" say perfectionist nutjobs who invest about £1,500 worth of time and effort recreating the perfect arches

[@silkysixx]

He only needed them for a starting point, so, yeah. £400 would be pretty keen. Hence the usedies which were probably swapped in services somewhere for a box of lager.

An BOM episode without a grider? 🧐 What a strange year it is.... Keep-up the good work in 2021. All the best wishes!
