:tup: this thing is coming along nicely cant wait to see the finished car

IDK if it’s just my pic angles but none of the hoses (with the exception of turbo coolant feed and oil drain) touch anything except at the hose ends or their respective clamps.

The two aforementioned exceptions have rubber sleeving over them.

:tdown: to ignoring every time someone asks how close you are to startup…lol

Just tried a quick part on our new 3d printer:

It’s actually hollow.

That’s fucking awesome

I’ll need to get better pics of it, you can even see the bevels I had drawn on the pipes.

rapid prototyping is really cool

what the awesome?

that is cool as shit!

sawweeeeeeet

thats ok, ill just have to punch him square into the taint next time i see him then he can make a 3d picture of my foot in his ass.:smiley:

This is probably the best comment I have ever received in any of my build threads.

Time to build a model replica of the car!

We have a Rapid Prototyper at school for the use of Tech/Engineering students, it’s amazing how detailed and precise the model comes out. Did you print using dual ABS compounds with the dissolving support structure? I used to have so much fun making models on CAD to just to print them.

Unfortunately the downside to the “Rapid” prototyper is that it isn’t “rapid” lol, a 1"x1"x1" model takes on average 45 minutes to print in entirety.

it does have disolving supports, but it’s not ABS.

Usually the ABS-like ones are very low res.
