Third try at this project to 3d print a working intake for my Nissan Frontier. Fitment and function were both a success.

Underrated comment😂

How did you learn to use the scanner and software? Always seemed cool to me, just haven’t perused it yet. Great video.

@EndMotive Год назад

The scanner is pretty straightforward, you get better as you go. 3D modeling is a pretty steep learning curve for this sort of "reverse engineering". Everything I have learned, is from RU-vid or a lot of trial and error.

ABS degrades in engine bay over time, i made velocity stacks from ABS a decade ago, lasted 1 year so i madereplacements from nylon

Great design and result, great work man 👍

Thanks

Buy the k&n stock air box filter it's rewash- able i buy those filters i don't have to buy another paper filter ever...

@EndMotive Год назад

I didn't show it, but I actually have one in place already!

@Joe4USMC Год назад

In theory, if you don't change the tube diameter, the MAF sensor should be happy. It uses the airflow to cool down a heated wire that is regulated to a certain temperature. As the flow of airmass increases, it has more of a cooling effect, and requires the heating element to turn on and off more often. This cyclic heating is measured in Hertz. If you increase the amount of airflow (and cooling) without telling the engine control module, it will result in spurious airmass readings from the MAF, and that will cause your engine to run too lean or too rich. Assuming the diameter of the intake was increased, as that is the goal of most enthusiasts, your engine will begin to run lean, as detected by the oxygen sensors in the exhaust, and the computer will know *something* is off, and throw an error code. Short version; if you change the tube diameter, you'll have to retune the ECM/ECU. Making a tube that flows more efficiently, because of fewer kinks, is perfectly fine without tuning.

@EndMotive Год назад

Exactly why I kept the diameter the same near the throttle body and the maf!..This reduced the possibility of turbulent flow too, but increase the diameter of the tube by almost 20mm throughout the center of it. All seems good still!

@Steve-zo4uc Месяц назад

Step 1 remove maf sensor and install iat sensor to run speed density 😅

@cheddarmac7935 Год назад

Can’t wait to see how the light pods look and work out!

@EndMotive Год назад

Should be done soon! I have not been super motivated with the cold weather though.

@MugenAlt236 Год назад

How's the software and image tracking ? These came out not to long after the creality lizard that I got. The Lizards leaves some to be desired. That or it's user error lol

@EndMotive Год назад

Software is pretty decent, I do not have much to compare it too though. It is very intuitive to use, tracking suffers if the lighting is wrong or if there isn't enough "unique" geometry... an engine bay is easier to scan than a body panel. Over the scan is a really good value!

@SoloTyweezy Год назад

Hey!I actually tried this on my 2006cls500 with dual cold air intakes using and ender v3 and using the PLA+ resin used for gun lowers, if you use fiber glass heat wrap meant to stop heat sink and use some heat shield like u would a regular metal cold air intake these things are indestructible !!!!

@SoloTyweezy Год назад

Also 60% fill with more strength in outer wall

@EndMotive Год назад

It held up great until it developed a vacuum leak, but it was only meant to be a test piece to begin with so I was more than happy with the results.

@joshuameldru4004 2 месяца назад

I want to know if anyone has manipulated the internal design of the intake tube. I have a dumb idea of modeling the interior of the tube similar to the barrel of some guns. The thought is creating spin inside the tube just like causing spin on the bullet, maybe it becomes kinda like forced induction? Anyone reading this please let me know your thoughts

@EndMotive 2 месяца назад

I don't think i have seen it done with the length of the tube, but they make "swirl" plates that go either into the neck of the throttle body or behind the air filter to spin the air like you are saying...they usually add turbulence and hurt airflow, but a tube with smooth "rifling" transitions might be better than those.

@joshuameldru4004 2 месяца назад

@@EndMotive Thanks for the response and interesting to the points you’ve made. Rifling, that was the term I was meaning. If I can find the time I’m still going to try to print it and see what happens.

@kaijub143 Год назад

Post some updates after months of use

@EndMotive Год назад

I did a 6 month update video...i think a short. It held up great for about 8 months and then it developed a vacuum leak so I pulled it off.

@yellowjoe.2000 8 месяцев назад

awesome work and video. Would a custom 3d printed sls intake tube cost in the $500 range or less?

@EndMotive 8 месяцев назад

Thanks! I outsource all the SLS printing I do to a partner company...I have never quoted it but I would guess fairly expensive because of the size....however it would probably be under $500 still....maybe I will get one quoted just for fun!

@yellowjoe.2000 8 месяцев назад

@@EndMotive thank you. that would be amazing to see the price levels.

@EndMotive 8 месяцев назад

@@yellowjoe.2000 So the estimated price is around $250 for this intake tube out of SLS Pa12...not cheap, but better than I expected.

@yellowjoe.2000 8 месяцев назад

@@EndMotive wow. not cheap but not too too expensive. thank you

@Falcon_Overland Год назад

I’ve thought about this for an intercooler routing. Recon 3D printing can handle 25psi at 70 degrees? If it was going to what material will you say do it best?

@EndMotive Год назад

I mean...I am still running this ABS tube on my truck and it is holding up just fine. Something with either a glass or carbon fill would make me feel better about longevity, but my top picks would probably pc or nylon with cf strand.

@CamiloSantana Год назад

nothing to learn or gain here but you got the click. touché

@EndMotive Год назад

Lol, I appreciate it either way.

@kaijub143 Год назад

Any long term review and update

@EndMotive Год назад

Yes, I failed to make a video on it though. The intake has held up great but It was all of a sudden throwing a check engine light, I assume it had developed a small leak somewhere. So I pulled it off and reinstalled the factory one. I am working on a replacement of some sort!

@TheSunChaserUS Год назад

How much time did it take to print each part of the tube?

@EndMotive Год назад

12 hours each if I remember correctly

@Tankslayer109 Год назад

I'm using your video as inspiration for a custom stillen supercharger snout for mounting a larger throttle body to my nissan titan. Any suggestions as how to test the part under 15lbs of vacuum? Max boost I will run is 10.5lbs

@EndMotive Год назад

Hmm, I know Rapid3d is printing an entire intake manifold out of a CF Nylon I believe. He has tested them on boosted applications and they are holding up pretty well, so it should be able to handle what you need. Best guess for testing would be to make a test piece that is basically a large enclosed volume that you can hook a vacuum/pull down pump to and then get a few temp readings of what is already happening in the engine bay, then try to replicate those temps or even hotter in a controlled environment like an oven. That is probably what I would try. I am still running this ABS intake tube on my truck and it has held up totally fine.....but it is still cold where I live, I am not sure how well it will do when it hits summer.

@Tankslayer109 Год назад

@End Motive thank you very much for the insight. I'm going to give it a try with PLA, then again with nylon carbon fiber, I will need to upgrade my hot end and nozzle first.

@eduardoorozco6397 Год назад

What type of filament material did you print with, and how has it been holding up with the engine heat/ heat cycles?

@EndMotive Год назад

ABS, so far it is holding up just fine. The weather has been cool where I live still and I don't expect it to last into summer...but it has held up just fine with regular use.

@eduardoorozco6397 Год назад

@@EndMotive Can you go into detail as to why you don’t think it’s going to last into summer? I only ask because I’m planning on doing this but with ABS infused with carbon fiber filament.

@EndMotive Год назад

@@eduardoorozco6397 Honestly, it might hold up. The temp and heat cycles make me think that the walls will soften up if it heat soaks enough. The carbon fiber should make the part rigid enough that it likely won't deform nearly as much. I glued the two halves together with abs and it has worked great but think it might still be a weak point. Nylon with a GF or CF would work great but might be harder to glue together.
