I SAVED $23,000 By 3d Printing My Own Lamborghini Murcielago Headlights

[@jordanhorst6]

when you're scanning reflective items, like glass, you can use painters tape or specialty sprays to temporarily make a matte finish to get a better scan.

[@oldman1944]

Mix talc with isopropyl and spray it on.

[@jwalster9412]

Sand paper and spray paint.

[@pyrothepenguin]

or just flour!

[@Shoverbot]

Theres an athletes foot spray from CVS that people love, havent had a chance to use it yet, but stuff i dont care about i just use a matte white spray paint, works great.

[@jakubmierzejewski961]

yeah. my first 💭 . You have a scanner but not a spray? WTF

[@justinmurphy2227]

You can use that ABS resin in the place of body filler. It's a lot easier and a lot less mess and sanding. Plus, since you just cure it with the UV light, you kind of have unlimited work time compared to body filler plus it's a lot stronger. I've also used it in the place of glue. You just put a layer on with a brush and let gravity kind of do the work and then hit it with the light and repeat. Then when you're ready you can sand it. To me it's a lot easier to sand than the body filler. You can actually just let it cure a little bit before sanding to help out. Then finish it off with some more light. I use this method to fill layer lines as I don't sand anything first. I put the resin on and then sand. I hope this helps! You actually helped me decide on a 3D scanner.... Creality for the win!

[@chancemayne]

Man I love the vids that are heavy on cool tech and 3D modeling/printing. Headlights look dope af, m8

[@murymih]

The fact that you are able to use new and emerging technology to reproduce your own car parts sets you aside as a KZbin channel for not just the present but also the future.✌️✌️🇰🇪🇰🇪

If he would stop sabotaging himself by starting too late and working on less important stuff he would be on a completely different level. What was that quote by Mediocrates? "Meh, good enough".

[@murymih]

@adoksym He said sometime back that he kinda likes the thrill of working on his SEMA builds the last minute... but then again, there's the actual working on the project and uploading the content for us viewers✌️🇰🇪

[@murymih]

@justinmilla You and I are neither car rebuilders nor KZbinrs I suppose, if I were you I'd avoid comparing the content creators....each has their way of doing things.

[@justinmilla]

[@LightAsh01]

Lmaoo I felt that😂. Like the projects are cool but this man rushes through them, so the quality is always a bit questionable.

[@hlgpickl3235]

Dude this is a KZbin channel. This is where he makes his money. He is not gonna sit here for 3 months posting the same build over and over and over. It’s called content he has to make it dramatic for people to be entertained. He could do this whole build 3 months in advance and “it would take too long”

too much time wasted on the pontoon yacht. that time could have been spent restoring this lambo.

[@Sydthesloth45]

​@@hlgpickl3235um beg to differ look at grind hard how long ago they started their build kept it interesting as well as doing other stuff so make your comment null and void. Plus many other creator's that start earlier and produce quality content and builds

[@jknoke83]

I just wanna say that I appreciate the hard work and dedication that you guys put into your builds. I know you guys have a small team and you guys work really really hard. I will continue to enjoy your videos that you put out regardless of timeline. I know it was a push to get these out as soon as possible with Sema already going. My hat’s off to you BIFB!

[@rickeyjones2717]

This scanner is super awesome. It fits like a glove with my t1 pro, and the print quality of the models is unbelievably good. Plus, the printing speed is super fast. I'm totally blown away

[@AustinSamuelF]

FYI - you can use 3D scan spray (looks like a light white dust) which makes scans 10x better and wipes off when done

[@TheInja]

bro, those look absolutely insane. Blown away with your skill on this project.

[@walterkennard8163]

if your having trouble scanning reflective surfaces in future spraying them with chalk dust works really well.

[@Vtwinmax]

Hey Chris @BisforBuild .... Be sure to use furniture polish instead of Windex. Windex has an abrasive in it and end time will scratch the living s*** out of plexiglass and make it hazy. A light spray of furniture polish will keep them looking brand new for years to come.

[@ArnarYngvason]

Great job as always. Any reason why you didn’t just get a bigger resin printer and print the whole thing with resin? It would save you all that work filling, gluing and sanding.

[@lukelarocque-walker2450]

Next time you have to scan something shiny, use scan spray. I work in the dental industry and we use scan spray all the time. You can use something as cheap as dr.schols foot spray, but it's annoying to clean. Alternatively you can spend a bit more money and get a vanishing scan spray which is what we like to use. It evaporates in about 30 min. Also, I must say watching this series I had major doubts. I thought there was no way you could finish, and was thinking it wouldn't look that good. I wanted to wait and see what you could do and wow, nice work! That car looks insane! Keep killing it!

[@JamiesGarage1]

It was cool seeing this car in person! Glad we got to hang out while at SEMA!

[@podrezd]

For scanning, literally GYM chalk mixed with water and loaded into makeup battery powered spray gun, it's like $18 on Amazon. When it dries , it turns into perfect white matte surface.. I scan and design all my gear for videography) saved me thousands and thousands , plus have some unique fancy gear no one else can get😅.

[@Rolfyto]

I had my doubts on the vision but it's turning out way better than I expected. Trust the process!

[@Morphologis]

That 3D scanner is actually amazing. It would be awesome if you could get some wider angle shots to see the whole build in each step of the process, I found that a lot of the recent videos are closer to the details but we don't get to see the whole thing.

[@chris2414]

Wow I’ve never seen so much work go into such a small and usually overlooked part. The finished product looks amazing

[@TheRydog456]

Got to see this thing in person and met you briefly. Awesome to see all the behind the scenes of what goes into this. Been watching for years and will continue to do so, don’t stop!

[@deadpixelmedia3171]

still blows my mind after all this time you still draw in Max, I used to do that way back when because it's what i knew from school, but once i switched to Vectorworks and Fusion, it was life changing for making real things that had to exist in the real world. Max is great for free form stuff but proper CAD makes things way quicker and more accurate.

[@tracyschmitz9192]

I saw the completed car on another youtube channel. Turned out way better than I anticipated. Good job!

[@shacrayt3993]

Yiu should start working on the build for next year as soon as sema ends this year. Even if its slow it’s a whole year. It’ll be a lot cleaner and less stress on you, please consider it

[@Unknown_Tranquility]

Much of this project i've not really gelled with, however I persisted to see the techniques you've used that I can draw inspiration from and duplicate myself. Then today, you post the headlight project - and boy have you hit that out of the park!!! Really well done, very well executed and glad you showed commonly used techniques being applied well. I really hope you get plenty of miles on the car once sema is complete. Final point - please give yourself just a little more time in future, you make phenomenal projects. Time will only make you more satisfied with everything you build, and you build great stuff. Thankyou for sharing what you build.

[@tptrsn]

Amazing stuff! The "heated rivnut pressed into plastic" trick is a GEM!!!

[@GaIvatr0n]

Flipping incredible work. The engineering of these headlights impressed me beyond belief. I'd love to see you restore a car like this to OEM without a stressful deadline.

[@gibby3820]

For that stock texture flat black, the paint you are looking for is SEM trim black. you will love this stuff

[@pw2725]

Available in satin or flat.

[@craigschroder]

Love the prototyping techniques 👍 I can recommend primer filler (aerosol spray) for layer lines on FDM 3D prints. It needs less sanding because body filler applies thicker therefore more sanding back. The resin prints should be in a high heat resin (otherwise they warp) and they must be painted to seal the print from moisture in the air otherwise they go 'rubbery'

[@Hardupgarage]

This truly was one of my favourite cars of Sema! Stay awesome dude!!!

[@ctjordan33]

All the 3D printing on this project really giving that "You wouldn't download a car" meme

[@nirjharbhatnaagar1982]

Congrats for the project sir… and especially you modeller the parts in a software atleast I was esceptic about. Namaste 🙏

[@frankleonard6570]

This is remarkable building and designing! Work of art! Amazing engineering!

[@nikk1000]

Fellow Murci owner here... If you want to print the main headlight body in resin, I have a couple large resin printers to help you with. Gloop is possibly a better adhesive for filament than gorilla glue since it melts/welds the filament together. Also a 3D scanning tip, for odd shapes you need markers on, buy a cheap net and hot glue the 3d markers to the net. Place the net over the object, scan it, shift the net, scan again, then process the scans together removing the net lines created which will be filled in by the additional scan. Great work on the light!

[@xxosonxx5439]

Hi Your tenacity is second to none with this job and they look brilliant. Did you leave some vent ports to eliminate condensation or do you not suffer that in the warm climate where you are? Thanks Dave uk

[@_Haris1904]

The headlights look absolutely killer man ! I was hoping that you would integrate some Led light strips in the Headlights for DRL's and Turn signals.

[@mihaildikov5150]

For the bed liner effect on prints you can enable Fizzy skin on most slicers it will make textured skin and will hide layer lines really well.

[@richleeman]

Very impressive and interesting to watch this. For a car like this, and the price of genuine articles, all of these techniques that you can now apply at home really pay off.

[@mechanicalintentions5431]

That’s insane! Super cool and great talent to get that together. Nice work!

Honestly I rarely write down a comment, but the 3D headlights work is absolutely one of the best highlights of this amazing build, well done man 👏🏼

[@finaltouchautodetailingllc]

I am amazed at what you have built so far, this has been an awesome project.

[@theroburrito]

To help with the glue seam issue, chamfer your seam edges to leave a well to fill with glue and body filler (or resin as others have said).

[@silvenshadow]

Snapping necks at sema is hard enough, but impressing on the details is just next level. Ever think bifb is more advanced than 80s Lamborghini Spa.? I do. Absolutely killing it.

[@jeremypennington]

goldbond body powder spray works really good to scan black/reflective parts. You can also use baby powder mixed intorubbing alcohol in a spray gun if you want to cover a large area

[@mikesulakov]

Hey Chris! Are you doing anything for adjustment on those? You need to be able to have vertical and horizontal adjustments, as well as a third adjustment for the low beam from right to left to ensure it’s shining in front of you. Especially if you’re ever planning on driving this car, not just keeping it a show car.

[@paulrichard1307]

Hey Chris, you can save some time on body filler if you paint the parts with the uv resin and cure it with a UV lamp. Also works as an excellent glue for clear parts.

[@jeffcivjeep7]

Use foot powder spray on the surface. It makes it matte and a lot easier to scan. Washes off. Significantly cheaper than the specialty spray.

[@BleuCollarFndryMTL]

Great video, that's awesome and very creative with some motivation from a $23,000 headlight

[@JVZBrowser]

For future reference... when you try to scan smooth surfaces as the bulbs. Use some white spray. There is a spray that is similar to the coal spray you use as a sanding indicator.

[@ahzozah]

@BisforBuild Massive timesaving tip! Brush your 3d prints with some of the SLA resin and hit it with a UV lamp, dries much faster than body filler and is just as easy to sand. (YOU MUST WEAR A RESPIRATOR! resin dust=BAD!)

[@paul4usc]

Pretty cool use of reasonably attainable 3D printing technology. Interesting note on using resin on parts exposed to higher temp. Really nice job considering your schedule and the starting from a single, somewhat busted headlight.

[@Wee-WorldMiniaturesandProps]

Quick tip, get a photocopier/ scanner. You can set parts on it and scan them at 1:1 size. Much easier to design with, rather than take a photo and a bunch of measurements!

[@sleepii15]

1:04 - could a flat black vinyl be put over the projector lenses, then the dots? For the ppl without the Raptor X. Cool build, congrats for making it to SEMA💪🏆

[@TimothyStovall108]

Put masking tape over the bulbs, or any glass, when doing laser scans, then you can capture that area with the scanner. Also, look into a special glue called "Gloop". They have a formula for ASA/ABS. It chemically welds the plastic together, as well much quicker than what I watched. lol Lights came out beautifully! Great job!
