Using 3D Printers To Build A Car Out Of Carbon Fiber | Part 2 | The Legacy (14)

[@2exiw]

Tip of the day. When I work on fiber glass or carbon fiber. I put 3 or 5 pairs of gloves on at the same time. Then when I get one messed up I just pull off the top layer.

Hitting the supports with a heat gun or dipping them in hot water before removal makes it way cleaner (less artifacts left behind on print) and way easier to remove them. Love this series. So fun to watch someone find out how helpful 3D prints can be IRL applications. 👍

[@willshubaru]

That was all lightning infill, but I’ll definitely keep both those techniques in mind for supports

[@colegoldstein6432]

@@willshubaru lightinging infill was designed to be used for sculptures. I would love to help with settings choices if you're interested. I have over 15 years of additive experience and I teach it at a college level.

[@willshubaru]

@@colegoldstein6432 lightning infill in our case was used for short print times; we didn’t need a dense print that would take several days. To meet our timeframe, molds were to be made like in this video or by injecting lightweight expanding foam into the prints for rigidity if Tim chose to make molds off the car.

[@colegoldstein6432]

@@willshubaru Totally get that! I love what you are all doing. I think some tweaking to the slice and you can get some better results that would print fast but make the post process easier.

[@vandettabuilds6641]

I love watching you build shit it’s always very custom !!! Thank you for the videos!!

[@maximilianstobinski2469]

If you want to make the process of gluing the parts for the plug together you could integrate holes on the flanges to the design. You can then add screws or pins while gluing and you will get a more accurate result. That takes out the time it needs to align the pieces and adds precision

[@maximilianstobinski2469]

I have seen you do the same thing on the mould itself. I'm not sure if you're doing this already but if you drill the mounting holes before you release the mould from the plug you will also have a very exact fit once you put it back together for making the part.

[@liamn.4415]

I genuinely get so stoked every time y’all post and the music selection is 👌

[@WestBerlinCustoms]

That 45° view at the rear looks awesome! The shape of the bodylines and the look of the whole kit are just perfect. Major respect for realizing something that complex in such a short amount of time. Can't wait to see the car. See ya all at SEMA. 👋😉👍

[@RokuRoku_696]

Omg im loving these upload scheds

[@JohnDo-ntchaknow]

Damn, whoever made the file went overboard with the supports. Project is coming along great. Really impressive to see how it is turning out.

[@nickmaxx]

Those prints are pretty wild, haha it even looks like some parts were sliced completely solid

[@JohnDo-ntchaknow]

@@nickmaxx That's what I was thinking as well. Lot of wasted material and time to do those prints. Even on my Bamboo printer it would have taken forever with those print settings.

[@willshubaru]

You mean the infill? I didn’t do the CAD; STL files were given to us as large volumes so when sliced, they needed the lightning infill to support the top layers. Wouldn’t be able to bridge that far.

[@ethancadto5940]

@@willshubaru I think they were just commenting on the amount of supports used in the 3D prints that were done. Not the infill. It looked to me like it might have done just a perimeter wall and then some sort of interior infilled support. Sometimes with larger prints you can dial back the amount of support material you are using to help make the end clean up easier and make the print go faster. But it takes time to learn the printers and material you are using to real dial that stuff in and you have to be willing to have prints fail. I think you guys made the right choice with the situation your in. Better to over support and spend a bit more time on clean up than waste a bunch of time having failed prints. Especially when your under the gun for SEMA. Great job and keep it up!

[@nickmaxx]

@@willshubaru right, it seems like the files were the whole print volume instead of that outer shell you needed to create the molds. Usually the modelled shape should be the exact usable shape, and supports are autogenerated, and designed to be (relatively) easily removable.

[@blue03mule]

Guys, you’re making the 3D part assembly harder than it has to be… I’m at the tail end of printing a 3D printed car (plug) myself. Superglue from your local woodworking store and accelerator will be your friend. I flange all my sections then clamp all parts together with binder clips, THEN drop thin superglue in the gaps. It wicks into gaps and I hit it with a quick blast of accelerator. Less than a minute later and the parts are really sturdy and ready to work. Wish I could upload a picture, my car is ready to mud. I’m loving the series and you guys are educating me for my next steps.

[@brentshanahan947]

[@secondhandspeed7507]

I am totally stealing that filler trick for molds!

[@jackimo22]

Angle grinder disk nuts should only be hand tightened using the disk as leverage. The hex on the nut is only to loosen it if you can’t undo it by hand because the disk has worn down too small. Source: I’m a boiler maker/fabricator of 20years

[@srutt3152]

Lol

[@janeblogs324]

And they are self tightening

[@EatFailSleepRepeat]

Dang it, you guys are awesome!! Might be an idea to get a model of the car you are using to do the molds and substractthat to .. well.. less grinding pla ^^ but then you would need to know the placement relative to the body, so don‘t know if that is feasible for you.

[@DavidRodriguez-fg4rt]

Desde México sigo su canal , tengo un 240z y un 280z , ojalá pudieran lanzar a venta ese widebody. 😍

[@willhull9677]

You should try using a saw blade type disc on the grinder. I think it will work better. Less melting and also it would be easier to grind off all the stuff from the 3d printer.

You can 3d print an interface to make you part pull apart, so you don't have to cut them. Print some clamps and some mixing nozzles.

[@jamesphillipsvfx8260]

I love the content, but as someone who 3D prints a lot it's painful to watch you guys try and match up these 3D printed sections without any registration points. This is 3D printing witch means you can create joints that fit together perfectly, no need to struggle to line sections together. Also, why not invert the 3D model and print the body parts in the orientation that you'll be laying the carbon fiber in? Hiring a 3D modeler to engineer these parts would save a ton in materials and time. Keep up the good work!

[@ItsComicKid]

DAMN it all coming together

[@zilch3791]

Can you guys do a video of the 3D modeling for the parts?

[@Level_Up_Nation]

I was planning on doing this to my 914, 3D printing the body after I 3D scan it into a STL, the body is a uni-body so will have to chop up the file and glue it all with panel bond. How did you get the file to print it in thin sheets? I was going to use Solid Works mold setting to convert the file. Oh, I have a Crality Belt Printer that us able to print unlimited length part, what fiber are you printing with?

[@rickarda9232]

About 3d prints, How thick do you print the panels? I printed mine 1.2mm but get warpage. Did you run in to this aswell? Thinking I need to do some webbing on the inside to prevent. Or just make negative molds to get the surfaces exactly like in the computer.

[@crazynova23]

You need to go help Cleetus figure out a body for Leroy and some carbon on Mullett.

[@mytuberforyou]

I'm not sure I understand why the parts are being printed in cubes and then everything but the face cut away and disposed of? i'm assuming there is already a poly of the original bodywork in the CAD package, why not boolean subtract it from the cube so you get just the net shape and use like 10 percent infill to stiffen the part?

[@hellcat1988]

Could have saved a LOT of plastic if they had combined different pieces as the two sides of the 3d print shell with a sacrificial strip between, rather than just wasting more than half of each print.
