I've been getting better and designing my own car parts and have started fitting my Turbo E36 with quite a few CF Nylon parts. It's so much fun when you design something and print it and it all works out.
Hi David few weeks ago I finally bought a 3d Printer and... WOW! Practically since I turned it on it hasn't stopped printing. The net is full of very useful projects and calmly I will try to learn modeling on Fusion, in the meantime thanks to videos like yours that indicate excellent objects to print!
@@IGDesigns I always tend to check out peoples channels who subscribe, you never know what you will find and there’s lots of good stuff out there! And a K24 with a K20 head is definitely good stuff!
Great video! Thanks for sharing! I saw a notification you commented on our video, but now I don't see it for some reason... I think I need to go print one of the vice press brakes now :)
Yeah, I can’t see it either now, strange! I originally just did some test folds with the press brake for the video but thought it deserved something more involved! Keep going with the channel, it’s good stuff! (Sub’d btw 👍)
I think your Bundy tube straightener would be good for bent lines. Sometimes you have to bend them to get them in or taking them out. With a fresh roll of tubing it’s not hard to roll out straight lengths on a flat surface.
another way to straighten coiled brake pipe is to grab one end in a vice, hold the other end in a vice grip at 90 degrees, then hit the vice grip with a hammer in the direction of the desired straight pipe line, it shocks the pipe straight, cut the crushed ends, all done. I was surprised how well it works.
If you make and fabricate anything then 3D printing is a great tool. Unfortunately alot of people who are doing 3D printer making the same crap over and over again
Another great video! I use an Ender 3D printer too, it's a great work horse. Did you know that you can use 3D printed parts to cast metal counterparts? Lost PLA casting might prove useful.
A type of investment casting is on the list, but probably a way off, I'm fairly sure there are specific wax based filaments aswell for that job, I need to give it a go....
This is late but if you change the infill type to gyroid with the same precent you can get your parts to be at least 1.5 times stronger than the other types
I too have just found you, I hope you keep doing what your doing and get the following you need. Keep up the good work. Could you let us know what printer you use software and setup, maybe a video in itself...
Thanks a lot! 👍. I have a few 3D printing jobs on for the car and i am trying out some different materials, once I’ve got all the learning (or at least most of it) I’ll definitely do a video 👍👍👍
Just found this channel and i think it's awesome. I really don't understand how it has so little subscribers. What kind of 3d printers would you suggest to someone that would like to make parts for his car? Capable of printing carbon reinforced nylons because ITBs lol
Thanks for the comments, I’ve only really got serious with RU-vid in the last few months so still growing and learning but comments like this keep me going! (You have probably seen my other vids now on the printer and ITBs)....
@@alessiocarlevaro6934 well I’m trying to make it as accessible/cheap as possible so hopefully you can! (Next video is on the Speeduino, the cheapest standalone ECU available!)
It's called metal casting. I prefer block mould/plaster investment casting. Just use a model printed from PLA filament that's designed to burn off cleanly, or a wax-like SLA resin.
@@MakingforMotorsport i do. I got mine back about 8 years ago. I've been needing an upgrade for a while. I ordered a Prusa a few weeks ago. I'm looking forward to printing with some higher temp materials.
@@S09Engineering I always fancied a printer but thought they were gimmicky, but when I actually read up and found out about CF-Nylon and PC I was sold! But it’s still amazing what good old PLA can do!
@@MakingforMotorsport my main use is fine-tuning designs before spending the money on machining them. There is nothing worse than finding out your part fresh off the mill does not fit. Ask me how I know. I might have to dig up some motorcycle-specific prints and make a video like this.
Just been watching your speedometer video, really good, not just the content but the production values are great, I need to up my game 👍👍 (sub’d btw the way - I’d like to see how you bring the 3D prints into your workflow)
Awesome tools great video, do you have Facebook or email mate I have a project idea on my channel and I need to get in touch with you somehow to run a few things past you?
Thanks for the comments👍. If you go to my channel page, on the about section there is an email you can “uncover” for enquires. If you email me on that I will respond from there....
I love my 3d printer and now I’m getting into welding and fabrication more I’ll def be printing the press brake and drill bit sharpening jig. Subbed great video!
3D printing: Check. DIY car stuff: Check. Original content you don't see any other car channel do: Check. Just found your channel and this is maybe my new favorite car channel of 2021!
Hmmm, dimple dies and a press brake... Finally I might dig my 3D printer back out and give it another go and make something useful instead of keyrings and other pointless novelties
@@MakingforMotorsport did you have to upgrade the nozzle for printing in CF? Actually, what upgrades have you used for your ender3 in general? I've been thinking I'm going to get one as the one I built is probably showing its age by now 😆
