[@ratgreen]

For real, he's basically me but with a way higher IQ

[@jaredearl6767]

Seriously, I just said to myself right after he said I got a metal 3D printer, that I need to stop screwing around and start chasing my dreams in the car building industry, because I honestly don’t think I’ll ever be happy until I get into a career I’m actually interested in.

[@Florida_as_Fuck]

I feel this in my soul.

[@cubegears]

Lol holy shit that’s pathetic

[@ResearchDesignBuild]

"I bought a Metal 3D printer, and While I was there I also got a Carbon Fiber 3D printer" That is going to feel so cool once you have those set up. The feeling you get with all the new possibilities running around in your head as it opens up a whole new set of options is so exciting. There is just something about getting tools that don't just open up the opportunity to do something better, or with more precision, but open up a whole new realm.

[@artbk]

"So I started my own F1 team"

[@ResearchDesignBuild]

@@artbk And just think of the high speed air powered pencil sharpener he will be able to build now.

[@twoheadedpanthr]

Can't wait to see what you make with a metal printer. Especially given the stuff you were already doing with plastic printed parts.

[@WesleyKagan]

Same here. It's a huge relief finally not being stuck to prototype work.

[@D3nn1s]

@@WesleyKagan do you own a lathe and mill for precise work on the printed parts?

[@100PercentJake]

Super stoked for Ducati Monster content! Should be a similar engine architecturally to what I have in my SuperSport! Also stoked to see more XJS content. Shame that V12 wasn't savable, but they're really not as complex or esoteric as people assume they are. Just very ugly accessory packaging and prone to typical issues that cars of the day had with early EFI, softlines going to "floating" fuel rails, etc. Looking forward to see what you dump in it. I need to get another one of these, but I'd like to update the V12 and let it breathe easy and sing through a custom exhaust with a 5 speed manual behind it. Just make the ultimate grand tourer.

[@Ryan-dz3jo]

Mad scientist gets a new lair!!! Can't wait to the Frankenstein creations, love your work 👍

[@WesleyKagan]

Thank you! Excited to not be tripping over everything!

[@12345.......]

I can't wait to see it!

[@svgPhoenix]

Don't edit your typo or KZbin will delete Wesley's reply

[@htownblue11]

Wes you’re a gem man. I cannot wait to see you crack the thermal energy paradox with a 3D metal printer, zip ties, resin, and a whiteboard full of genius. Post as you can man. We can and will wait.

[@dan725]

holy crap how'd i miss this video. A full-on metal 3D printer? Those things are not cheap! Congrats on the new stuff and new place!!

[@scenicdepictionsofchicagolife]

Needless to say I am living vicariously through you. I CANNOT wait to see what you're going to do with all these new machines!!!

[@jareknowak8712]

Good Luck with the project!! Im already waiting for the next video.

[@SaltyTubers]

Will miss seeing your 6x6 jeep down the street, wishing you best of luck!

[@WesleyKagan]

Thanks! Yeah It's coming with me here soon

[@LordLiquidBaconII]

Enjoy the new house and 3D metal printer! I'm looking forward to all the cool and odd stuff you create with the printer.

[@WesleyKagan]

You and me both! Will do, Thanks

[@chuckp8705]

Looking forward to the new location and setup. I have XJS as well that suffered an engine fire (surprise surprise) with the previous owner. The engine teardown at the end of the video was very interesting.

[@WesleyKagan]

Yeah, they are notorious for being a certain way for sure

[@dylanzrim3635]

If you struggle to get the v12 running right, look into the dual Holley sniper EFI setup, self tunes fuel map and runs fine with any independently controlled ignition timing.

[@dylanzrim3635]

Supports more power than you’ll ever need, plus they have their own ignition control box that pairs and runs like a modern EFI, just won’t self tune ignition. And there’s a universal fuel pump module where it will only need one big hole drilled(not 8-10 precisely drilled holes and either welded nuts on the back or tapped)

[@JerGol]

New space mentioned, excavator visible from 3:30 not mentioned? 🤔

[@stefanstoks8937]

If you ever are in need of some user tips, I'd be happy to help. I've been a Markforged certified tech and have installed several of the Metal X systems. The technician who installs the system usually makes sure you're up to speed with the system and the Markforged customer service is very strong as well. But they do forget to mention things sometimes that are worth knowing upfront.

[@colday74]

Can't wait for the new shop and content. Always fascinating. Keep it up!

[@WesleyKagan]

Thanks! Will do!

[@custos3249]

Ooph, I feel the pain of that engine. Reminds me of some army auction surplus a buddy and I drove 3 states over to pick up. Got back home, opened it up, and 'til this day, no idea how sand got literally EVERYWHERE inside. Not a single cylinder, reservoir, or hose was untouched. Still though, British automotive engineering is known for making great tables.

[@WesleyKagan]

It really is- I've never seen an engine as bad as this one. It was rough.

[@joedonahue4028]

I love the wall mounted pc. Such a cool idea

[@mpeugeot]

Ok, totally envious of the 3d metal printer and CF printer.

[@isaacmirandajs]

Hope the moving go as smooth as possible.

[@12345.......]

YOU'RE TWO WEEKS LATE!!!!!! All joking aside, now is the time to sell. Build the shop you want. 60x100 with a studio apartment inside is all an engineer needs

[@WesleyKagan]

That's the plan right now.. about that size too.

[@12345.......]

@@WesleyKagan YES!!!

[@SpaceMulva]

"You guyses" Never fails with this dude.

Yeah, It wasn't living it's best life

[@DarrylMaclean]

Good luck on your new venture Looking forward to your new prints

[@w124mercedes7]

I have been trying to find a jag body like that for a mercedes turbo diesel swap. And custom paint. Something I've been wanting to do for years.. I have a nice mercedes w124 low mile car for motor and trans. Just haven't found a good body that doesn't have trashed wiring.

Great job and good luck

[@JerGol]

So exciting to see you growing with the channel! I can't help financially but glad that my *like, comment, subscribe, and share* provides some small compound help!

[@dylanzrim3635]

I’m keen to see where metal 3d printing goes, if it’s any better than the compressed steel dust gears in some tools it will be very handy. Can’t wait for the 3d printed Briggs head and piston. Would be a good way to get a better piston suited to diesel too

[@WesleyKagan]

Yeah it opens up a lot of different options right now I’m pretty excited for it!

[@Stashawek]

Great Updates. Looking forward to the future craziness

[@WesleyKagan]

Thanks!

[@ryanellis120]

Hi from Australia. I’m heaps interested in the 3D metal printer and how far you can take the technology to make precise moving parts. Did you see Porsche have made 3D printed pistons?! That would be an awesome test. Also a liquid cooled rocket engine would be cool. I’m sure you could do all sorts of interesting stuff with that printer. Looking forward to seeing some future content. Cheers mate

[@duncandorris884]

Congratulations on the Metal-X. Which size sintering oven did you go for and how big of a dewar of argon did you end up with? If you could just go ahead and figure out how to build a cheap hot isostatic pressing furnace and share that with us, I'd appreciate it. :)

I am curious if your new office will have the snow cruiser in the background. It is a cool machine.

[@WesleyKagan]

It will have the blueprint still, as much as I want to build a life size snow cruiser that is REALLY niche.

@@WesleyKagan life size would be really cool. but you might have to start with hotwheels scale in that new 3D printer.

[@higgsbosonman610]

Ooo a Metal X! Are you getting a new Gen 2 unit with the big external screen, or one of the older Gen 1 units with the screen inside the print area? Also are you getting a Sinter 1 or the larger Sinter 2 with it? I work for a Markforged reseller and work on these machines a lot, and its cool to see you get one. You're going to be able to do a lot of cool nonsense with it haha. Be sure to have some extra lower printhead feed tubes on hand; they're the number one part we have to swap. They only cost a few bucks, though, so it isn't a big deal.

[@WesleyKagan]

That’s good to know! It’s an older gen 1 with a sinter 1, but I got it at a pretty good price so I don’t mind upgrading to a sinter 2 down the road. That’s good to know on the lower print nozzle tube parts, I’ll order some spares. Thanks!

[@jwalster9412]

I knew about the metal 3D printing already, but carbon fiber ! I would want a CF 3D printer to just to waist lots of valuable time and money printing little cars I made in 2-3 hours time on car software.

[@garagecedric]

Wow, those are some seriously pricey machines. Will you run a print business on the side to finance those investments? Looking forward to see you using them!

[@WesleyKagan]

That’s the plan, it’s not just for the channel. Figured it would be a good opportunity for both.

[@garagecedric]

@@WesleyKagan nice, that's a good idea. We have one stainless printer at work which they use for printing industrial spare parts instead of having the shelf full of parts that are rarely used. Sadly it isn't the place for private stuff, it would be nice to make a turbine housing or turbo manifold to fit my old porsche 924 turbo :)
