I Made a $2500 Carbon Fiber Canard at Home with 3D Printer [DIY] 

ECO-LAP Studio hey guy. Great work on the videos. Any links to purchasing materials ?

Hey. Thanks for inspiring me! I have a Porsche and created my own canards for 3D printing. They came out great! Next is carbon fiber overlay. I would love to share the file also.

Just print it vertically and the surface will be much more even

@@m34275 I had to 3D scan my car so I can get a perfect flush fitment.

Hey man , you have a good skill! May you make a carbon fibre helmet?

true XD

Hello, Buddy! Genuine parts are very expensive. I made it as similar and cheap as possible. However, I believe that genuine products are valuable as genuine products. (I chose the cheaper one) Thank you for watching.

His time designing them cost money too?

ECO-LAP Studio i dont think the majority of the audience fully understand weave techniques and understand how its more then just “glass fiber like” Materials might be cheap cause “duuh” its only carbon atoms in a spesific structure, but its the whole process and time to stack layers perfectly and strategic. All creds to you for making it seem easy. When in reality getting everything right is craftsmanship at its finest🔥

@@AdamNZ it only cost money if you declined another job that would be payed in order to do this one. Otherwise, most people free time is not payed for. If he did it in that free time, it's completely free.

My not stupid?

@@sotired9970 because instead of paying 2500 dollars he is making them himself and making money from RU-vid

@@Subscribers-mm1xg yeah 2500 is absurd. I own a Jag and some carbon parts for it from the dealer are hilariously overpriced. Carbon fiber mirror cover, 800 bucks per side. carbon rear diffuser, 3500 lmaooooo

@@OnceShy_TwiceBittenpremium brands overcharge for carbon fiber because they know majority of people buying them can afford to pay the extra.

It’s a m4, but I get what you’re saying!

bet u havent seen mercedes shit, even worse 🤮

Hello, Buddy! Did you enjoy my video? I'm will make a fun and informative video. Stay tuned to my channel. Thank you for watching.

Hello, Buddy! Thanks for the compliment! I want to make more carbon fiber parts. Of course I want to make a spoiler. But, there are many limitations because I make carbon fiber at home. I will make more carbon fiber parts, so look forward to it! Thank you for watching.

Hello, Buddy! Send the file link here. However, this file will require a lot of shaping after printing to a 3D printer. I am a beginner in modeling. I hope you understand. This means that if you have 2 files, you can copy the opposite shape and flip it. drive.google.com/drive/folders/1L20JxP0l5ROEqH4O3L2OGbGI5YTW9sGy?usp=sharing

Hello, Buddy! Did you enjoy video? Please look forward to the next video. I will make fun and informative videos. Thank you for watching.

Richtig. Bekommste nie eingetragen. Wenn die dich erwischen, wird es am Schluss teurer, als wenn die Teile gleich gekauft hättest.

Who actually cares what Tüv says...

Weil die die auch aufschneiden 😅

@@noobrXGamingOmg Müssen sie nicht, zum einen hast du keine ABE und zum anderen reicht wiegen komplett aus, um zu erfahren dass das kein reines CFK Teil ist. Normalerweise wäre das 3D gedruckte Teil ein gefräster PMI Schaum. So erhält mein deutlich geringeres Gewicht als mit dem 3D Print wrap.

Will tuv really oblige to remove handmade 2000$ Canard air splitters?))

+Seb furs Hello, Buddy! It's not genuine but I made it as similar as possible. I am very satisfied. Thank you for watching.

Jesus Christ 2500 just for those 4 piece is insane

Hello, Buddy! The canard I made is about 5mm thick. The genuine BMW Canard was about 5 mm thick. So I made it 5mm. I think the thickness of 3-4mm is also good. I do not have a 3D scanner. I designed the basic shape, printed the drawing on paper and checked the points to be modified compared to the actual car bumper. The modified canard was very consistent with the shape of the bumper. I hope you helpful.

T. András It is 3D printed Carbon Fiber Filament. He only used the carbon fiber sheet to cover it and make it look nicer but it is full carbon fiber!

@@brucewayne8966 carbon fibre filament is 50% plastic

Hello, Buddy! Thanks for the compliment. I applied anti UV topcoat epoxy resin. In the video, it's the last purple epoxy resin. If it doesn't have UV protection as you say, yellowing comes. I used anti UV topcoat epoxy resin to prevent it. ^^ Thank you for watching.

Hello, Buddy! I appreciate you. Thank you so much. It's been taking a long time to reply because there have been many comments recently. However, I try to do my best. Stay tuned to my channel. Thank you for watching.

Hello, Buddy!! Thank you so much. This carbon fiber work took a long time because it wasn't as simple as I thought. I hope you can enjoy this video.

ECO-LAP Studio i did. Keep it up. I’m sure it’ll be a big one

Hello, Buddy! The filament may be slightly deformed by heat. But so far, my canard hasn't found the strain in my eyes. I think it may be prevented from being deformed by skinned carbon fiber and epoxy resin. But I am not sure. If I had a SLA type 3D printer, I would have made a negative mold. However, I am using an FDM (Filament) type 3D printer. The output of the FDM type 3D printer requires a lot of processing because the surface is not smooth. I think it is not suitable for making negative molds. Thank you for watching.

It depends on the base (foundation) material used. PLA will soften exposed to the sun in a warm region (AZ, TX USA kind of weather). PETG Will hold higher temps but can be flexible all depends on printing details (infills, layer numbers, ect). ABS is the best choice, but the worst material to work with. Its temperamental and toxic in in-house environments. Making a negative mold as you suggest is a very good way, you simply need to print the mold understanding the pressure exerted during vacuuming. The carbon layers can then be sandwiched in with layers of fiberglass as well to add rigidity, or ultimately even a very thin layer of folder aluminum in between. Or even more exotic. You can 3D print a HTPLA-Carbon using gyroid infill (zero bottom or top layer). And use that as an insert in between layers of carbon film. Similar material to this. www.proto-pasta.com/collections/carbon-fiber-composite-htpla/HTPLA

@@fredpinczuk7352 but you could use annealed PLA or you could use ASA, the CF will deliver the strenght.. but that pla will shrink in one dimension so you need to take in consideration while printing by roughly 7-10 percent

@@archeebookingagent1909 Yes, but you have to anticipate the shrink on three plains (X,Y,Z) and on three potential different surface area. The chances of getting it "shrunk" perfectly will be purely by trial and error. But that's the beauty of 3D printing. You can keep making parts till you get it right.

@@fredpinczuk7352 not really , trey will shrink on x a y but prolong on Z usually uniform Scale it up on the X- and Y-axes, and scale it down on the Z-axis.

Hello, Buddy! I draw and model with Fusion 360. Fusion 360 is free to use.

Consigue una de esas camaras que escanea y ya puedes hacer el diseño en una PC

Hello, Buddy! Thank you for subscribing. One layer of carbon fiber is very thin and not strong. It is like a thick film. However, multiple layers of carbon fiber are very strong and hard. I will make a video if I have a chance. Thank you for watching.

Same question i have

감사합니다! 아직 혼자 이것저것 시도해보고 공부하고 있습니다. 아직 많이 부족하지만 지켜봐주세요! 시청해주셔서 감사합니다.

I have a Creality CR-10S PRO. I am using AutoDesk Fusion 360 for the software. Fusion 360 is free to use. I hope you helpful.

@@ECOLAPStudio thanks for you help

Hello, Buddy! It probably needs some study. However, this was my second modeling. If you study a little, you can make simple things.

Hello, Buddy! I printed it in PLA. I'm a little worried about deformation too, but it seems to be okay so far. I watched your video. Your project is so great! Are you going to skin carbon fiber on it? I want to see your finished spoiler quickly.

That's a pretty good idea, I'll look into it.

Hello, Buddy! Thank you for the compliments. Please look forward to the next video! Thank you for watching.

Hello, Buddy! Thank you for subscribing. I'm living in Korea. I will try harder and study about carbon fiber. And I want to share the knowledge I know with people. Thank you for watching.

@@ECOLAPStudio me parece muy interesante. He visto que usas una bomba de vacío manual, no la conocía. Puedes decirme cuanto cuesta y donde comprar?

Hello, Buddy! It's just a vacuum bag for food. I'm using a lot of things that I can easily buy. You probably can easily buy it.

Hello, Buddy! Thanks!! I have a Creality CR-10S PRO. And the software is using Autodesk Fusion 360. Fusion 360 is great because it's free to use. Thanks for watching.

@@ECOLAPStudio many thanks for your reply, keep up the good work buddy 👍✨

Hello, Buddy! I thought the price of a genuine canard was too expensive. I think technology and effort can't be converted into money, but it was too expensive for me. So I made it cheap. I'm going to do a lot of work with 3D printers. Stay tuned for my channel. Thank you for watching.

Hello, Buddy! I printed the Canard painting on paper, and compared it to the actual bumper and modified it. I hope you helpful. Thank you for watching.

@@ECOLAPStudio subbed my friend, this is good stuff!

Of course, if you give me your email address, I'll send you a stl file. Installing on the F30 can be done by grinding the canard with sandpaper.

ECO-LAP Studio thank you so much! alpine.n55@gmail.com

I sent it. ^^

Hello, Buddy! The reason for using epoxy gelcoat is to strongly attach the carbon fiber. In addition, the epoxy gel coat has a very high viscosity and does not flow down. I hope you helpful.

ECO-LAP Studio Studio Thanks a bunch for your quick&detailed answer! Do you mean that the Gelcoat sticks stronger to the pla permanently? Or do you mean that the Gelcoat becomes more sticky than epoxy to apply the CF?
