Thank you for the shout out man 😁 I made a plywood splitter and lasted well over a year in UK weather and it got hit off alot of stuff. Definitely recommended to anyone if you want a cheap option that doesn't cost alot!

As far as the slots a decent Milling machine is the next thing to add to your garage with all the custom work you do. Definitely worth the investment.

@davidwilson9178 5 лет назад

BUILT I would think best bet would be to find a shop either going out of business or upgrading their mill. A decent Klutch mini Milling machine would run about $825 shipped on amazon. Which doesn’t the price of bits to do the specific jobs you want to do. It would definitely be an investment if you want to start making your own parts.

to do a good quality diy slot, drill a hole at both ends first, when you feel the blade drop into the hole, quickly pull the grinder out. leaves round ends

when you are making slots for mounting stuff. just drill holes tight together and remove the material in between the holes with a cutoff wheel or a file, just make sure that the holes are alined and it will look super clean

@bondoman2k 4 года назад

Great idea for those that can't afford ABS. Also, you could completely coat the wood with fiberglass resin and matting. Actually, this is how early fiberglass bodies were made (dune buggy bodies from the '70's). Running boards for vans were made this way too (fiberglass over a wood structure). By coating it with something it would last even longer and look even neater. ;)

Nice job, maybe you should cover all the plywood with a thin layer of bondo, to protect it more from water and leave a nicer finish.

@ANULIFETV 4 года назад

@SeductiveVenom 5 лет назад

Curious what thickness material did you make the Canards out of ?

@zacharypappalardo3789 5 лет назад

Also maybe a circular file to smooth out the slots. Like drill a hole. Cut with saw, file out the excess. I feel like that's the best way to make slots in your metal without some kind of special thing

@kyleveach3238 5 лет назад

I have a suggestion for slotting your mounts. If you have access to a plasma cutter, that ought to give you a cleaner cut. If you can't get the rectangle in 4cuts (desired cut is too thin), you can just make vertical cuts moving over an eighth of an inch at a time.

@Boofedit 5 лет назад

Only tip coming from a fitter turner engineer would be be more careful and straighter with the angle grinder take your time and get the cuts evenly spaced by like 20 ml and then drill the ends to disconnect the inner piece. ( the part holding on the splitter )

@@BUILTOFFICIAL nice. I started with a chinese prusa i3 clone and moved up to a folgertech ft-5( pita to assemble) I've wanted to figure out a way to do 3d scanning for a while so I could scan body panels on my car and use that to digitally build a wide body kit off of. Then print in sections and fiberglass off of. The best part would be that you could easily mirror the parts on the pc and have both sides but only have to model one side. I know no one makes a wide body kit for my car so if I could do so and create a mold I could make pieces from it may be a money maker.

Bud I see wat ur doing.. refining them personal every day mans mechanical DiY skills. the idea and wat ur doing is great man however i do think there are some areas where it cud do with a tad more refining and cleaner lines! But hey this is only ur 2nd build in YT so im sure as time progresses and more time spent you will become more solid with your level of workmanship. Mate im a fan and believer in what ur doing. Keep it up. Dont worry abt the rude hate comments those ppl are just trying to project and reflect a version of themselves! I wudnt bother and just keep doing wat ur doing.
