Scratch Building POP-UP Headlights! (Project Jigsaw Ep. 51)

[@deciplesteve]

Between this channel, Fanatik Builds, and Oliver Pickard, I'm not sure whose uploads I am most excited for. You guys are all too cool.

[@paulwhite7475]

Sounds like you have a similar watch list to me . I bet two years back you would have had binki on your list .

The addition of a Cam operator/editor has added a great dynamic to your show. It’s as addictive as BINKY and MCM, perhaps not as structured, that’s your style and it works. I mean, really, who doesn’t like intelligent well explained craftsmanship. Thanks to youse all! Hugh

[@carsociety705]

The mechanism of the pop up headlight needs to have a raising motion because when it popup most of the bottom part is under the panel that bracket needs to be redesign in my opinion.

[@AngySumo]

The reason they aren't adding a multi-level hinge like that is for simplicity. I think the style they have will look great once they do the bodywork necessary. More complicated bodywork to make this work, for sure, but theres much less chance of a simple hinge failing in operation

[@EternalGamingNet]

Finally have time to catch up on Jigsaw! This process is fascinating.

[@geneolson6618]

I wonder if the light should articulate up with slotted curves and captured pins on the side to create a track. The fulcrum system that is being used will work, but it will force a greater deviation from the original body lines. That said, great work on the project! I am just a dude watching you work.

[@rivenmotors7981]

I was thinking about your headlight reveal and thought that a crescent shaped hinged panel attached to the lower part of the headlight via a channeled bracket could keep the look of the nose and then drop down to reveal the lower beam and turn signals

[@russcole5685]

Was just what I was thinking

[@MikeSchmidt-qt7ls]

Love the commentary. Always a great episode to wake up to.

[@Iskelderon]

That new power hammer also allows you to make additional dies on the lathe and CNC mill, multiplying the ways you can use it beyond the stuff it got delivered with.

[@joelbrown4110]

It seams like hinging at the bottom/front would be a better solution, similar to 928?

[@craftybear01]

I absolutely love the smell of styling clay - it has great memories for me.

[@Quickblood1]

Gorgeous build so far but I don't get the "pop up" headlights, am I misunderstanding them they just seem to slightly tilt?

[@waynesmith-r8c]

its a partial pop up headlight ,i think they could statically mount these and have them look incredible as well but its not my vision.....

[@Quickblood1]

@@waynesmith-r8c Agreed

[@jonas868]

Yes, it makes no sense

[@andyMutale]

I literally have been waiting😂😂😂

[@chrisblaylock3922]

The headlight should pop up out of the hole, instead of rotating on an axis. Should be a curved track motion.

[@rhymean]

Yo that shining impression was on point

[@PatriotPainter]

It looks like you need to reassess your fulcrum, now that you have a more sturdy test rig.

[@wannesvanhoof6794]

It's 8 pm here but it's yet a bit more saturday as your video comes out!

[@micajahbienvenu7147]

Why not hinge from bottom?

[@ceke]

Estoy aqui por mi dosis semanal de Crucible 🎉😊

[@justBusWales]

Have you thought of copying the hinge movement of a typical hood/bonnet? It moves up and out generally

[@TECsta76]

Hey 👋 The headlight style where it’s recessed into the body with a vertical inlays (like on Dinos) is also cool you know. I guess I’m just unable to follow the extra technical requirements and longevity of remote mechanical parts.. ☮️

[@tahustvedt]

I think a large scallop on the bottom like on a later Miura (ignore the top sscallop) would look pretty good.

[@mahdialsenussi3066]

Amazing WORK 💛👍🏼

[@A2zlightwheels]

It's the door profile, I'm excited to see. I love the headlight design though.

[@Joe-rp8fd]

I had an Idea about flush pilot lights, which pop up a bit with axis on the top, exposing some bad ass laser long beams or so....Since new Bugatti and Rimac "stole" my idea with a steering wheel I guess I can share this one too :)

[@SideshowBen206]

Have you considered a multilink design for the hinge. Something like the hood hinge on Binky (which if I recall correctly is off a Porsche).

[@Singh-j2z]

Add a crazy big Front under bumper lip would look good and gt3 spoiler wing

[@chrismichaelyoung]

I think the pop-up design you're going for looks good, and I see how the scallop will be deeper when it's going to be made out of metal. I'm not sure the nay-sayers understand what you're going for. The only thing I'm concerned about is the angle of the light being adjustable enough to be correct and not blinding other drivers at night since I'm not sure it goes low enough. Might need to test that out at ride height pointed at a wall like an inspection.

[@CrucibleCoachworks]

It should be right in theory, the headlight ends up in the exact same position as it is on the 993. So should be in tolerance for internal adjustment! We will definitely be testing however once the unit is functional and mounted. 👍🏻

[@machielvandertoorn8758]

Do a double scissor hinge, then the headlight will move up and out when it's popped out and sit flush when it's down

[@BenjaminHoffmann-df5hn]

We need more EYE-993 content!

[@asciimation]

Be interesting to see how you deal with water around the lights. I guess it just has to drain through and out the bottom?

[@dcallan812]

great update 2x👍

[@digital_mindmeld]

8:33 it's like a mirror image

[@oshweeken]

Why don’t you make the headlight to slide up and forward like a rail design it glides in would not need a scallop and would clear the hole completely giving you full beam for high, low and turn signal

[@GrantMcLeod-Webster]

I’ve seen a car at a car show the builder had the whole front hood area lift similar to what you are doing with lights. What he did was had a short arm attached between the hood and a longer arm attached to the top between the top of the hood. Maybe you could try it on your light. You will have to try different length the length arms.

[@ArkaynAdrian]

I read "crock pot" as "crack pot" when you busted out the clay and TBH, it's kinda fitting. Now onward and upward errrr with the lights....

[@dcsbeemer]

[@CrucibleCoachworks]

DELETE THIS 😩🤣

[@rekineke3692]

The undercut at the bottom of the lamp's eyepiece, along with a fairly wide gap around the lamp itself, are air swirlers, that allow the lamp to rise at german motorway speeds. The gap allows air to blow around the lamp from below and "suck" it into the open position when the lights are turned on. You make lowered lights, "pop-down" not "pop-up", so the aerodynamic solution for this would be very complicated and the mechanisms themselves would have to be very indestructible. All pop-up lights have "aerodynamic lift" that allow them to open at high speeds. This does not apply to rotating lights like in Corvettes. I remember something about a car that has lowered lights, but I can't remember witch it was, but the solution was a lowering cover in the color of the bodywork inside the reflector that exposed the actual lamps.

[@fernandoteles4080]

The project is yours, your choice. I would never be able to do something like you are doing... but... the pop up for me makes more sense to keep the car's line even in aluminum without visualizing the headlight and raising it at an angle.... that way it looks like eyes with a two-day hangover. but that's my view.

[@964cuplove]

Miura says hello.. that looks a lot like a Miura ligh

[@Hexearth]

You know I just realised that you have the giant foil rear and I want to say to make a fibreglass rear clamshell but I’ll probably have a red dot following me after I say that (iyk,yk)because the main problem is fibreglass is really flammable, while aluminium is a lot heavier. And also, you already have the foil layer so aluminium rear clamshell would be nonsense. On top of that, the (I’d say second) biggest issue it that fibreglass is pretty hard to put down without a tightly packed together/gridded frame, but you have a whole layer to put the fibreglass on. Yeah ima have some angry engineers after me because of this comment. Eh too bad.

[@stevev6002]

Looks like the clay edge is pretty much where the metal edge used to be

[@jesseallan3886]

When the body is finished before paint, you should make a mould of it to make fibreglass replicas and sell them. ✌️

[@karras6239]

god you almost game me a heart attack with that intro lol

[@jamest5149]

I would have centered the head beam to remove the squint thats quite obvious at the moment… the head lamps point outwards and you might run out of bulb alignment adjustment

[@GoldenSim27]

[@yglnvbrs]

another great episode, but i wonder how you will make those curves around the headlight tho, seems like a difficult thing to do

[@Shifty_Malone]

You need to start the cut out from further down, below the headlight.

[@greggplamondon9865]

can’t the scalloped area in front of the headlight be attached to the headlight? then it would return to the flat position with the headlight

[@GrantMcLeod-Webster]

How are the headlights raised in the 911?

[@danijuggernaut]

Why not a 3D printed bezel around the front lights? Just like the Miura had.

[@moStallion]

Much respect to you guys. But like i said. You should have made molds on CAD. Print it out, use it as a mold n create the body using carbon fiber or fiber glass. You would have saved so much time n effort

[@scottwhite2379]

Are you at all worried about the insane heat generation you will be creating when the sun shines on your projector lens focusing that meam onto your loght source? Curious if the temperatures inside that light might exceed the melt point of the plastic its constructed of.

[@Hike_manlon]

I love everything you guys are doing with this build and im sure it will turn out better than i can imagine but i just cant help but feel like you have the pivot point wrong on the pop ups. They look like theyre going to almost “pop down” rather than pop up. Your vision tho not mine, cant wait to see how it turns out

[@50TBRD]

Kind of looks like you're making a Opel GT Targa.

[@Vnyatka]

Is it going to pop”down” enough so that it doesn’t light up the tops of the trees instead of the road though?

[@CrucibleCoachworks]

Yep! We measured to be certain that when it pops down, it’s perfectly level with the road.

[@ferrariguy8278]

You could simplify this... have the headlights be , instead of pop ups or pop ins, more 1960's innovative... Have an oval sheet metal *patch* pop in, then out of the way to one side (or up or down) then have the headlight go straight forward into the opening, which feels a lot like something Porsche or an Italian 1960's exotic would have done.

[@airplanyguy68]

Now that you have a HUGE 3d printer, why not print all the body panels and hammer the aluminum over those?

[@alienfac32]

i dont have a clue about cars so i was wondering. dont u want the bottom part of the headlight shine to light up the road?

[@CrucibleCoachworks]

The lower light is the original “high beam” for that 993 headlight. It’s very underpowered compared to the upgraded projector light we are installing at the top half of the light (which functions as both low and high beams) - pretty much rendering the lower part of the light unnecessary.

[@alienfac32]

@@CrucibleCoachworks thank you for the explanation.

[@tonywest9153]

Am loving the car and cant wait to see it finished but I have to be honest and say I don't see the point of these pop ups, they move so little to seem pointless. I feel something like the 928s headlights would be more suitable to the car or failing that hinge them at the bottom and push the top out. Anyway your car your call and as I say can't wait to see it finished.

[@robertpatrick3350]

The 928’s lights were the least appealing feature of the car. You need to start with different lights and make a section of the panel in front drop and the rear of your selected light pop up be rotating around an axis 1/3 of the way up the front face of the light.

[@stevejames9221]

If the area of the sheet metal that you are trying to scallop was attached to the headlight instead of the car, then you wouldn’t need to be scalloped!

[@frankopresnik5337]

Hi,can you Tage the Headlight's from a Porsche 928 or Copy it for your Projectcar ? Good luck from Germany.

[@05molinatsx]

You guys didn't have to do all that. You got the morimoto BI projectors.... so you dont need the lower one

[@lukelewis2813]

You went to the effort of 3D printing a device to figure out the best pivot angle, and then proceeded to go with a drop down light instead of a pop up... hinge should be lower and then the impact on the shell would be decreased. Will be drop down instead of pop up now

[@blakehalfacre33]

Why aren't you guys using a 928's headlight assembly? All this reinventing is causing scope creep IMO.

[@waynesmith-r8c]

this is purely functional art and not that "stack 5 pails of sand and knock them over in a douchey art gallery" nonsense .........incredible artistic/mechanical vision/creation mixed with hilarity is a great recipe for Saturday mornings. i haven't enjoyed anything like this since Saturday morning cartoons in the late 60s early 70s

[@AudioFlat]

Honestly, I think you are going about the headlight completely wrong. You need a back to the light and a bucket for it to sit in. I’m not convinced by your pivot point and the clay serves no purpose when all you need is a scallop that you could have made in 5 minutes with some card! Have you looked at how other cars solved the problem - the Miata, the Miura?

[@marccartwright4768]

why not look at a Porsche 928 headlight system ?

[@nickwatson2167]

Sorry I dont have a clue I am a joiner from Scotland hello . I would have got the car that the lights come from and then used a straight edge and bevel stock to get the correct angle . Peace

[@meszarosmate4629]

I am no engineer, but i really dont see why your lamps pivot at the middle, instead of the front. I am sorry, but to me, the light going under the hood just seems butch. If you simply moved the pivot point to the front then you wouldn't have this problem, you already cut down on the plastic behind the lamp, so it would have more than enough travel, even though a front pivot requires more upward travel on the backside of the lamp. Cars either have a back or a front pivot on pop up headlights as far as I know, to me it just seems like you guys are complicating this more than it should be. Copying work is all right, plenty of cars are out there with a pop up headlight, no need to reinvent the wheel.
