I 3d printed a custom intake for my 350z on a Bambu Lab X1 carbon. 

I 3D printed an airbox with ASA. It works fine.

Great job! Nice look too. If your worried about heat warping it see if you can add a heat shield below it and back it with some heat blocking materiel? Ive used a welding blanket riveted to the back of a shield once that held well. I was testing to see if I can keep a custom intake box cooler with it by shielding it from the engine heat. It did work but not to clean looking so I gave up after a while. I spent too much time on it and ignoring everything else.

I've used Taulman 910 alloy Nylon. The intake crosses directly above the exhaust manifold with nothing in between it and the 3" intake I printed. Zero issues.

You are defeating the purpose of a velocity stack by having a small to large taper afterwards, the air slow's down as the pipe expands.

Awesome vids. Your title is incomplete though! I think the thumbnail being a side by side shot of the 3D model and the intake on the car could generate a lot of clicks too.

That great sensation when you start the engine after a crazy mod and there's no check engine light... 🕺🏻

great work although as someone said the pipe sizing should be the other way

Yeah, I wouldn't recommend running a 3d printed intake...looking forward to see your carbon molding process

7 Hours to print!! I need to order one of these.

I printed mine in ASA and used 3 walls 10% infill but modeled the intake tube to have thicker wall. So outer was 3 wall inner was 3 walls with infill affectively a 3-5mm thickness

I used Carbon Fiber Polycarbonate and have had no issues. no warping or vacuum issues.

This might be a weird question but on a day of it were like 20c - 25c what temps to most engine bays get too? I have found abs can be good for 100c. Which I don’t believe my engine bay has ever felt that hot. And with the weather lately in Australia iv touched metal parts of my pod filter and it’s not even hot to touch. Also iv seen that ASA ApolloX is good

Thinking of trying this myself on my K24 swapped Honda Insight... would ASA perhaps be a better filament choice?

Great try! I am in the process to make a manifold using carbon filled polycarbonate and then also skinning it with carbon fiber, it would be a little hard to do that on the inside tho.It has heat set inserts for holes

whats the benefit of this intake vs the one you pulled off?

awesome work! what would a 3d printed intake tube cost? $500 or less?
