Using 3D Printers To Build A Car Out Of Carbon Fiber | Part 1 | The Legacy (11)

[@nlpx]

What a build! This deserves to go viral.

[@StreetBandito]

Go head spread the word lets make it happen

[@bendayho3k3]

This build deserves to viral more then most youtuber builds, the originality alone is worth it.

[@angerthosenear_yt]

Hopefully it's taking flight now. I just got it in my recommended. This is an awesome build.

[@joetkeshub]

A Russian engineer, a pretty skilled one, has done 3/4 of a Formula 1 racer in his garage with carbon fiber and ON HIS OWN! kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZ-sdXuQfZ6pi8ksi=eIKH9qVhpGn5UAqs Not to mention a French mechanic who's started a restoration project like this.

[@UKBUILT]

😍 Wow, great way to make a mold. I hope my carbon turns out that good on my V12 build 😎

[@ProjectR3DTeam]

This is awesome! We make a large format 3d printer that should be able to print those finders all at once with a separate support material. If you guys are doing much more of this or have a project that could use a larger printer let us know we would be happy to work with you guys on something like this.

[@YeshuaDisciple916]

Interested, personally. Do you have info on the large format printers, that is big enough to print a whole fender? Or do you have a way to get in touch, or even a link?

[@darkstarprojekt]

What printer do you guys have?

[@chrismcgowan3520]

I built a 1.5x1.5x2.5 meter printer for projects like this and ended up selling it because it only had 2 nozzles pla and support filament, with 5 smaller printers I was able to print 4 times faster because I had mor nozzles working at the same time, also if a part failed it wasn't a huge issue in comparison to 1 large print

[@chiboreache]

@@chrismcgowan3520 plus smaller parts have more convenient design in terms of support

[@CarsCatAliens]

Could the same printers used to 3d print houses , be modified and used ?

[@jjfordingpoursoulstudios8581]

As soon as you said that you 3D printed the fenders I had a hunch you used those big ass Ellegoo printer's, and the video proved my hunch right. This car is so awesome, and the fact that 3D printing is part of it kicks it up a notch for me. Can't wait to see it finished!

[@vinniesmith7455]

Very affordable too for what they are … resin printers are rad too ..I make badges and smaller cleaner parts with one …

[@justinp2993]

The style of this is not quite my cup of tea, make no doubt if I saw it I would be wowed, it's just a taste thing. That said the craftsmanship and process of creating this project is simply on a whole other level. I am just in awe and I have built cars for decades now. Thanks for taking us along!

[@NBC_NCO]

A classic modern ride. You all are doing a fine job. Nissan/Datsun would make a killing if they made this car today as you have designed it.

[@bugizm9150]

It just not fair how talented yall are!

[@doursen]

One of the coolest builds this year, incredible work.

[@Haddepe]

HI, just to say (I don't know if you know it) but avoid direct contact between metal (any kind) and carbon fiber, it will induce corrosion if there is water. You need to isolate the 2 surfaces from each other. It's simple, most people use a ply of glass fiber between carbon fiber and the metal (or any other non-conductive material). Good project continue like that.

[@connorb9097]

I almost did this, then found a large form CNC machinist near me. Got a whole side of a car CNC into a negative or “plug” to lay one piece of carbon into SO much cheaper, easier and quicker. The foam machined plug was like $390, just send them the cad file and happy days. It is one use but I’ve had not deformities or anything. Had the option to pay a few hundred more dollarydoos to have a 5x reusable one but I’m only make one Porsche haha

[@scottwatrous]

Very nice, goes to show what some 3D printers can do. I've always kindof dismissed printing for carving foam but I think at this point the 'ease' of just letting the printer chug might trump the work of loading foam onto a large router that is only going to get one side real good. For mirroring contours and details my go-to is always just take some paper and trace the shape on one side, cut the line out to make a template and tape it down on the other side. I suppose if the left and right sides don't lay quite the same it might push the template off a bit but wouldn't be too bad unless they were notably different topologies.

[@SpectralComposites]

Progress is looking great!! A tip I could give would be to tab in an egg-crate on the back side of the molds after cure, before removing from the plug. This will keep the geometry from changing under vac when making parts. For what you have done so far, I'm very happy to see the consistency of completion. A lot of projects of this scale hit major delays or never see the light of day. Excited for the next video!

[@accordv6er]

I love this. After seeing some rally cars this weekend, I feel 3DP followed with Kevlar/carbon makes a lot of sense

[@amorton94]

This is so cool. I've always thought about printing fenders and whatnot and then glassing them. This is awesome to see.

[@deckerlindner5030]

Hey guys, this 240 looks absolutely killer. I just stumbled upon ya'll as I'm new to 3D printing and composites in general. I'm looking at developing a kit car and would love to be able to 3D print molds for use on carbon fiber body panels. One question, what's the material you used to create the Carbon fiber mold over the original 3D printed mold? Looks like ya'll applied it starting at 14:45 and then removed it at 16:00. Thanks!

[@clearviewproducts]

I don't know much about car fab, but I know my way around 3D printing. I came to learn how it is used for carbon fiber work. I appreciate you showing how it is done. Nothing wrong with how you did the 3d printing in vase mode. A few 3D printing things you might try. In prusa slicer you can split the model and add connectors so they snap together so they are already registered. I would probably do infill over the vase mode to give it some better structure, like 10% and use adaptive cubic infill to keep the print times down. The infill will keep the parts strong and consistent. When gluing 3d printed parts, epoxy works, but there are bonding agents for PLA and PETG plastics. It might save some cure time and effort over the hefty applicator. Check out gloop or ca glue works well too. All just suggestions in hopes that it helps a bit, no worries if it doesn't work for your purpose.🍻🍻

DuraMix 40/40 FTW!!! I have always spoken that stuffs praises! Not sure what it's called over here but where i'm from it's Duramix 40/40, and I used to use it a ton when making custom plastic Head Unit plates since my main work consisted of Fiberglass subwoofer enclosures and the such, from time to time this included making paint matching smooth custom Head Unit surrounding plates to replace the stock that would leave section of space, and mine would fic it up to look custom but also factory look if thats what a client so desired.

[@Level_Up_Nation]

Was just thinking about doing this to a 914, I have 3D scanned the car and made STL files of the body sections to 3D print the panels using them as a core and wrap them in Carbon Fiber. The issue I see is that the 914 body is one piece and welded to the frame, making it a little more challenging.

[@ajhartmanaero]

[@LTV_inc]

Nice work! I’m just a simple engineer but for what it’s worth you are going places. 😊

[@shorelineplastics5090]

Awesome build! I'm about to start a similar ev project. I've had the thought to 3d print the body panels for some time now, and am stoked to see someone else has done it already. Question for you though.... I have a lot of exerpeince in machining and 3d printing, and have a large scale printer that can print the components all in one shot. I was thinking about using a strong base material, like matterhackers NylonX witht he carbon fiber refinforcement, but i was going to carbon skin each side of the print, wet it out real well, then put it in the vaccum and seal the part inside the carbon. Just curious why you pulled it off. was it just to make a thinner, lighter piece? My thought was to use a 1mm nozzel (bigger printer needs a bigger nozzel so it doesnt take a month for each part) and going for a solid print with 3-4 layers at .3-.4 layer hieghts. Then putting another 2mm on the outside and 1 on the inside. Would love your input on what you found! Im considering making a video series on it... but its probaly going to be weeks worth of footage of what not to do before getting to the final product, haha

[@bluebeast440]

For future reference, you can buy material 50" wide, but almost any length you could want. One piece for the outer skin and however many pieces you wish for the inside layers. :) No need at all for any butted joints because of a 50" limit.

[@Maxam-Media]

3D printing is super neat with its use cases. Not that I’ve done anything to this level but I measure a blank switch plate for my Z, redesigned it in Fusion360, and added a hole the exact size of a switch I was using for my air compressor setup for my aircups. The button fit in super snugly after a few tries and since I designed it in CAD it was perfectly center and snapped right into my dash just like OEM. What you guys are doing it a whole different level and just goes to show the many uses for these inexpensive FDM home printers

[@dalton-at-work]

3d printing is going to keep our old cars on the road as it's becoming impossible to find replacement parts for some items.
