Regarding the boot side panels, don't use mounting screws, use self adhesive Velcro, much neater and will also stop the panels rattling. Also, put some padding/deadening under the plywood, otherwise the sound transfer into the cavity will drive you nuts every time you go over a bump and there is stuff in the boot.

[@computiNATEor]

I can confirm that Bambu labs X1C is freakin’ sick! It’s the best printer I’ve used. Glad to see you’ve gotten their support! You deserve it, Jeff! Can’t wait to see what you print up :)

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

It has totally changed my vision of 3D printing, and now I am much more likely to use it.

[@KenPapadopoulos-r9y]

Yes!! Missed the Alferrari!! 😊❤️

[@brianshorey]

Agreed. I also recommend the AMS, which allows you to load four rolls of filament. I bought one a couple of months ago and it seems pretty idiot proof.

[@Louie2309]

Wow. I just looked online and the 3D printer is very affordable. Under $2000. If you have a big project going on, it will be a valuable tool.

[@BrendanJMcMahon]

Need a light in that very dark glovebox!

[@derekwhittle1885]

Have you seen the latest bad obsession motorsport episode ? Project Binky having similar dash gauge issues you have had with the alfararri. It is insane to see how they have worked around the issues!!

[@thorshammer10129]

After doing a circuit board project myself. I understand why they took a year to post. They went down a never ending rabbit hole.

[@Darren_Martin]

I saw him in the comments over there. Everyone saw that Binky video... 😍

[@AlsETypeResto]

I was looking forward to tonight’s instalment but then a new episode of Binky popped up. Sorry Jeff but tonight you were my number 2 watch 👍

[@sundownerbuild6708]

Cannot wait for the full noise test drive!

[@jimclarke1108]

A glove box for a couple of gloves, and a boot ute for your other stuff, well made Jeff👍

[@joejenkins5650]

The 3-D printer is definitely a game changer and as always, your builds are fantastic. Cheers, mate.

[@jamest5149]

A suggestion; either paint your steering column metalwork black so its hidden or of your 3D Printing and design skills are up to it, make a new steering column shroud to tidy up that area 👍

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

Tat is on the list

[@paulstuart8676]

Geoff, when you cut plywood like that, cut the outer veneer with a good sharp knife, use a metal straight edge, you need a lot of force to keep straight edge on the plywood, or simply use your metal brake or similar. BTW a few passes with the knife on both sides will cut the thin plywood through. Leaves the plywood with very little tear-out, if any. Seal the timber with epoxy thinned or epoxy wood preservative.

[@ewanstewart8011]

Love both the paint colour and the leather on/in the Alfarrari 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍🏻

[@alman-world]

Jeff - don't forget to resolve the rattle in the boot..........rubber seals on the edges, or something with tension. You'll thank yourself after a 3 hour drive! 🙂

[@robert_sa]

Awesome design work on the cruise control and the glovebox. Maybe line the glovebox interior with the same stuff you line the boot panels with. It's so fun to watch you adapt to all the challenges this build has thrown at you!

[@lawrencemercieca]

Just get some strong magnets for the side panels You can honestly just use panel bond to hold the magnets on It will be even neater as there will be no screw holes, also means you don’t have to unscrew 2 of the panels if you need to replace your battery

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

That is not a bad idea at all

[@andli461]

Or velcro. Or a combination.

[@olewurtz7625]

Nice work again. I agree on the 3D printer. I’ve just used mine print “rubber” gaskets/grommets for my P1800ES tail gate.

[@Papa-Bogey]

We’re rolling into fall and winter here in the US. The Alfarrari should be ready to roll for your summer time! LCS - Patreon for the win!

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

As long as I can get this bloody paperwork sorted!! ;)

[@chrisleech333]

I absolutely love this car. We need some driving videos

[@billmcintosh1242]

Slowly getting there, will be great when the plates go on and you can hit the road! By the way the Paint looks fantastic on my screen! Thanks for sharing . Bill Mc

[@dl8538]

Nice work on the details!!

[@billroach2393]

Great video Jeff. I'm wondering if you might regret the way you've covered the battery totally? If (no...."when"!!), you need to access the battery, you're going to have to remove the side wings, then the floor, then the front cover. Would it be possible to make a removable or hinged cover, just for the battery?

[@robinfoster7597]

Those finishing touches will make all the difference. Great work Jeff . :)

[@fraserwright9482]

Using ply, wood, perspex or felt is to reduce noise. The aluminium will rattle

[@jasonlewis5008]

3D printed Alfa logo under the leather in the boot, would look sweet.

[@audreyleithes2994]

Jeff i thourghly recommend any new veiwers to the channel to go back and see how rough this project was at the begining its amazing how it has turned out well done mate.( hope you caught the latest binkey video.)

[@Sharkerp38]

Good to see Bambu reached out to you. I have an X1 Carbon with 4 AMS units on it. I call it the Easy Button for 3D printing.

[@BurntOrangeHorn78]

That gap by the steering column on the lower dash is for the manual throttle lock. Afro Romeo basically just locked the throttle cable as a cruise control device. One had to remember to disconnect it before shifting because once the clutch was in it redlined the engine. The stock glove box is much larger than what you have designed. Used painter tapesl on your plywood veneer cuts and you won't shatter the edge.

[@ClassicMinishorts]

Wow Jeff, I found this back in July, awesome series! I just worked my way up to date so I might be able to comment something helpful (as if you need my help) only to find you've already nailed it!

[@seanmcgrath2202]

Jeff, I love the way you create stuff and 3D print it. At school we have Prusa Research 3D printers but I have been looking at the Bambu Labs printers for some time now. I’m very impressed. That cruise control housing and eh glovebox look great. I will have to create similar pieces for my Morrie build.

[@AzureCloudCowboy]

Thanks Jeff

[@rjung_ch]

Cheers Jeff and Mrs Jeff 👍💪✌

[@billroach2393]

Another great episode Jeff. Thanks.

[@scottwatson8648]

Put in push button catches on those side panels in the boot. You can use that space to stash stuff you don’t want on view when you open the boot. Cleaning stuff, jumper cables, fluids etc.

[@andrewgreen7778]

Given the size of the boot panels I would have thought you would need to do a bit of bead rolling to stop them panting.

[@jeffharrison5265]

I recently purchased a Bambu Labs P1S. So nice to have something that just works! I'm printing parts for my 72 Jaguar XJ12, but I'm using PPA-CF. Cheers!

[@marvsbazaar]

That printer is bloody impressive!

[@spedybrent]

The Alfarrari is looking awesome!

[@donfinch862]

A comment for that crazy algorithm, excellent work and how great to get that printer from Bambu!! Good on them

[@ronintres6757]

Wow!, you did such a beautiful job in the trunk and of course the printed parts of the dashboard, a very nice result

[@andrewbrown9460]

Love the details Jeff👍

[@peterbonnez]

Good work this week..

[@seanalexander9531]

All hail the algorithm 🤘

[@alman-world]

That hole where you are putting the cruise control HAD a cruise control in it originally. Yes a Choke also. Basically the cruise control was a manual throttle control. You pulled it and it had resistance, and obviously did nothing but put a fixed throttle position in, so if having to slow down you had to push it in OR put your foot on the clutch. So putting your new cruise control here is PERFECT - especially modern version of what will really work.

[@Garg3984]

Great to see you back with a proper car 😊

[@domeniconelli8382]

@homebuiltbyjeff make sure you tie that kill switch into your brake pedal switch.

[@paulsabucchi]

Saluti dall'Italia all'Algoritmo Misterioso ed alla Signora Jeff. Ciao

[@greenkouki]

Jeff- look at "ironing" settings when slicing/writing g code for printing. I am not sure on bamboo labs but with prusa it makes a huge difference for making the flat surfaces extra flat! Great work

[@iainmcglynn833]

We’ve been close for two plus years so not long now 😎 It’s some car for sure

[@Darren_Martin]

Sweet polo shirt, Jeff. I love it Awesome work as usual

[@johngriffin9547]

For the centre console go see the results retro power cars get with hydro dipping aluminium. Looks mint and they have very high standards.

[@AudreyH48]

From the hot rod world, they use velcro (hook and loop) for those side panels so there's no screw holes in the interior.

[@blackbuttecruizr]

It will be so sweet when you get your plates! Can't wait to get the update that you have burned up the first 100k on it!!!

[@erikleenheer6623]

Bootspace looks very nice. 👍🏼 I miss 2 things, a bootlight and bespoke suitcases. Keep up the good work.

[@peterferryman4905]

Amazing work as always 😊👍👏

[@S-T-E-V-E]

Yeah I've heard that Bamboo Labs are the way to go in 3D printing! 👌

[@b3nny90]

There's a calibration tool to help get your tolerances better. I have bambu p1s printers and they are good for what they are just not a fan of the issues with trying to repair them.

[@Rubinho1977]

Don t forget isolation behind all your aluminium plates to avoid noise and friction

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

Trimming sorts that out.

[@FTBonito]

3d print some "buckets" into the side panels so you can store some oil cans or tool there

[@gwynn1104]

Been considering that printer or the P1 series myself - as you said you just need something that works without all the adjustments.

[@tomknight5158]

You should have cutouts in the side panels to utilise the space in the arches. Bit of bungee netting in there👌🏻

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

The issue anything in there can dent the outside of the car.

[@tomknight5158]

@@HomeBuiltByJeff bit of foam on the inside of the body work would stop that, and add extra sound proofing from road noise from the back.

[@MrMaxDelux]

Great jeff🎉

[@ceesklumper]

Sentence of the week: "So it will make more of an impression of a nice flat floor". Thanks for the floor protection cardboard tip!

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

Haha, That is all that matters isn't it :D

[@Matnrach2-mf9qr]

You will find that most of the new generation 3D printers just work without any intervention. However the Bambu lab is no doubt the best for beginners.

[@timothyfindlay6253]

I concur, 3D printing has come a long way. Not a big fan of the X1C specifically, sharing everything with Bambu on the internet gives me the hee-bee-gee-bees. If you have the choice, get an X1E

[@GerardBendotti]

i bought one last week, it hasn't stopped printing yet!

[@mrcasperjensen]

I’d do a shelf style on the ends.. least you can have stuff in the corners, so small stuff won’t slide around

[@TECsta76]

Nice new logo Jeff m8 Very contemporary and minimal dynamic! Only detail I found would be centring it so the lower section of the J would have a straight edge.. instead of a point.

[@TECsta76]

Leather production has a process where they shave the edges thinner, allowing for more seamless folds.

[@joshevans4529]

I've gotten all 3D printer just like what you start with and been keeping my eye on bambu labs printers. I'm sure you would have seen that Superfast Matt and Retropower use them now so it's a given that they are good units. Might have to score myself a good deal and use your link

[@obsessive_doka_disorder]

😂I can see that the mic battery went to Mrs Jeff’s reruns 🙃

[@caztroll]

the Latest Binky episode will give you some ideas on your dash issues. They had the exact same issues!

[@harold42]

Check out the Bambu ABS GF, really nice finish

[@Tinker2006]

Great vid, love your 3D printer! For the boot, I am surprised you are losing the wing space, a lot of room lost, why?

[@glensgraphix]

Sorry Jeff but Binky was on. I had to watch that first.

[@nosaint01]

*boot is going to be awesome.. Nice work as usual.

[@TheJaredsalinsky]

Great job man! The CC controls look absolutely factory! What were your plans for inside the glovebox? Leave it as-is? Or flocking? And inside the boot do you need any vent holes or weep holds in case water gets inside? It looked like you had some room on the sides of the boot between your aluminum panels and the body of the car - maybe put some cool little ‘storage compartments’ with a cool little door, sort of like a glove box for your boot, for small items that belong in the boot, like spare lug nuts, or small tools. This car is simply the coolest car I’ve ever seen, and if I ever get to Aus I’m coming over to see it! Cheers man

[@resveldt1967]

Nice work, i miss a light in the boot/trunk

[@greggarnham8497]

You dont have to do big bends in that crappy brake (I have the same one . . .) A tipping die in the bead roller does the job so much easier . . . . .

[@georgegavrylenko1031]

That 3d printer add looks suspiciously similar to one on SuperFastMatts channel lol

[@geniferteal4178]

WowI had to look it up for myself. That white ferrari picture at the end.I couldn't imagine what that pod was protruding up from the hole in the door just about where the mirror is. Now, I see there's a giant vent that sucks air in and spits it out the back, so there's a gaping hole there, and the mirror is a separate item hung off the side, almost where the door and the window meat. Such an eye trick just for the angle of the picture.Still looks weird.

[@alastairwatson3201]

I guess them’s the brakes!

[@sylvainflecheux1814]

Bonjour de France

[@xpaugu]

The hole is for choke and hand throttle!

[@S-T-E-V-E]

Jeff have you thought about using magnets to secure the sides of your boot? It might be easier and neater than screwing them into place?

[@Rat_Poison_Devil]

👍

[@JunkDevelopments]

Surely a man of your skills could have folded and tigged up a glovebox in no time. Also I can see the racing stripes continuing through the panels in the boot...😛

[@MakewithJosh]

Great video Jeff. Just wondering whether you were able to fix that dent on the roof caused by the lift?

[@Darren_Martin]

So are you planning to add beads to those panels in the boot? They might be noisy while driving...

[@colinrobb3962]

Have you thought about using velcro to hold the side panels in. Then you wont have any screws showing

[@MrGarycharters]

How will you jump start the car with no acsess the battery? Great work the way!

[@PeterHatch-mx7zc]

👍😁

[@MicahBell_1860]

I think that glovebox might only hold a single pair of gloves! Good thing it's called a glovebox & not a documentsbox, hey Jeff?

[@agresa]

Damn, my pan brake is too small. Cough, cough. wink, wink. nudge, nudge. #hareandforbs #machineryhouse

[@stevenpike7530]

You are a magician…Could you print the CC switch in titanium?…(I knownBastion Bicycles out of Melbourne use 3D titanium printing for lugs, stems, & seat post headers)…

[@christianfulgenzio7054]

Can you solder a switch under the clutch to mimic the behaviour of the cancel button of the Cruise Control ? Just in case of danger and you have to act fast with both the hand on the steering-wheel

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

Brake does that.

[@ozbusa]

Doesn’t the cruise switches need an on/off, then a set/coast? Is the cruise active all the time with no on/off option?

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

There is an on/off button I hid under the dash, but I never see the point in it. It is always just left on in all of my cars.
