Using 3D Printers To Build A Car Out Of Carbon Fiber | Part 1 | The Legacy (11)

What software are you using to create the body parts

Use a sawsall blade to cut lines

What was the glue used in join the prints?

can i asking one thing, what THICKNESS on solidify you use for it ?? why i cant make it on 0.03m . waiting response from you guys. thanks.

PLA ? looks like. How did you aquire the cad data?

How did you make the printing files? I wanna make some carbon parts too, I got an an 3D printer but didnt make any files my self.

F...aaaa...k all EV cars.

Hello, I really liked your video, I'm creating parts for cars with 3D printing in Brazil too, could you clear my doubts about which glue you use and what material you print with?

Probably old news but the epoxy tubes are that long typically for anchoring “anchor bolts”, or something else embedded deep in another solid. The epoxy needs to penetrate all the way to the bottom of the bore I.e. the length of the tube. Also the epoxy mixes in the tube, and stays usable until it exits the tube so you are not losing much … I was bored needed to comment lol…

I just got this in my suggestions and I am so happy that it did. You guys are doing some innovative work.

I see you had some cracks. If relevant... May I suggest adding fiberglass on the back for strength? Just a suggestion. By the way, great job.

nice work

People really eyeing this wanting to make a lambo. 🤑

Excellent craftsmanship. Awesome build!

Will be cool if they can make whole car bodies out of CFRP. Perhaps if they can create omni-directional strength fibres somehow and then injection-mold entire unibodies... Would be amazing.

Hope you didnt print those in standard PLA, they wont last long. Will probably start falling apart within a year. Should have been printed in ASA or ABS.

Its an electric car? I wasted my time watching and you waste time/money on an ELECTIC CAR?

That is some great out of the box thinking for making molds.

Good job, this project looks sweet

Nice !, ive havin waaaay to many setbacks on my golf series custom parts, but its amazing to see people going full force on custom builds

Was just thinking about doing this to a 914, I have 3D scanned the car and made STL files of the body sections to 3D print the panels using them as a core and wrap them in Carbon Fiber. The issue I see is that the 914 body is one piece and welded to the frame, making it a little more challenging.

How much the thickness of carbon fiber body ? Thank you for sharing bro 😍

That's not a "3d printed carbon fiber part"

Using a large printer and ASA you could print panels that are usable.

chill ass song in the second half

that looks amazing but little afraid that amount of jobs after puzzled and grind piceses.

I'm surprised you didn't have to put reinforcements in your fiberglass plug. I tried to pay attention to see how you didn't get any flexing when laying up the carbon fiber but didn't catch it. Is the carbon fiber pliable enough that you don't have to worry too much about the plug flexing during layup and curing?

Those wheels on the z are incredible

Is it more cost effective and economical to print the parts each time, or would CNC milled moulds for the parts be better from a reproduction/time perspective?

Nice. Can do lego type joints for the end be done for the seams?

Ya got a little something on your hand there.... Lol

Just wondering what is the infill density you are making these parts at?

Very nice, goes to show what some 3D printers can do. I've always kindof dismissed printing for carving foam but I think at this point the 'ease' of just letting the printer chug might trump the work of loading foam onto a large router that is only going to get one side real good.

For mirroring contours and details my go-to is always just take some paper and trace the shape on one side, cut the line out to make a template and tape it down on the other side. I suppose if the left and right sides don't lay quite the same it might push the template off a bit but wouldn't be too bad unless they were notably different topologies.

No expert, but wonder f It has a long nozzle because it has an automixing process built in. If you look in detail you can the 2 components travels through a maze in the nozzle, this mixes the 2 different compound.

Hey, great build, I was just wondering what type of epoxy tube and gun that is and where you can buy them?

this is cool

Everyone who have worked with fiber glass and t-shirt, say no more

I might have missed it, but you scanned an existing fender to produce a file for printing, to start with???

"You wouldn't download a car"

Hold my beer.

epoxy without respirator...

Just found your channel, cant believe I have not see it yet. Cant wait to see more on the fairlady build. This is my dream build, a EV 240z.

wow good job mate

Car looks great!

Are you guys interested in trading tech/knowledge? I have a few tools I think your team could use to help this process, and probably some questions I would like to ask.

What type filament did you use for printing ?

What plastic are you using..... You was going to say it and you failed me

Locating features on the flanges help make life much easier

My only complaint is that you didn't print alignment pins into the print. Anyway, awesome!

Bro I was thinking of making my own body kit the same way. I’m happy to see it happening but ur making a full car, great job by the way!! This is awesome
