Full spoiler and half spoiler are done, testing the front full spoiler for the next few weeks but I don't anticipate any issues, just curious how it clears driveways.
Hey gang, just letting you know the front grill garnish is now available to download should you want to give it a go. Http://Jmjrdesign.etsy.com
Instructions here-
Yeah I had to figure out a lot of this stuff 5 years ago when I made my FK8 kit, now its pretty common. You'd do well to join 3D printed car parts on facebook, lots of great info there.
I would also look into a scanner like the Shining3D ones. They're great and they have entry points for...
I've had many printers over the last 11 years and I can unequivocally recommend the Bambu H2S. Especially if you're doing automotive and want high-ish temp filaments like ASA and ABS. The heated enclosed print volume makes those print care free. It's a little more sure but as they say the cheap...
Oh yeah lip and grille garnish are done. It's just been too cold and snowy to get the lip on for testing. The garnish is good to go but I need to create an alternate version for smaller printers and then do all the photos and instruction for the Etsy listing and I've just been too busy at work...
Lol that's not a small printer!! My biggest printer is a Bambu h2s, it's only 340x320x340 so you'd be able to print the less segmented version if you can dial your printer in for PETG. An enclosure really helps, even just a big box around it to keep the temps in.
yeah, speed forme in japan. $660 USD. For me in canada that's near $1000 :S
Mine is a little bit different as it has it bit more shape to it, it tapers top and bottom. I will probably make a few to sell pre-printed for those that do not want to print, and it'll be probably half that price.
yeah when I release files I make a point to target common home printers, and I usually do 2 versions that are cut up so they can be printed on small and large ones.
I typically use PETG which historically has been fine. 5 years of testing with my type R and it held up better than most fiberglass parts. That being said this time I'm going to try ASA which is a very standard plastic you'd find on cars, and temp stable past 100 C. It's basically ABS that is...
Hey Gang, figured I'd share this as I'm a fair way along with the initial bits I'm designing for the Z. For context I used to have an FK8 that I made a complete aero kit for back during covid, and that worked out so well I'm doing it again for the Z.
The end goal is front lip, front half...
oh that's not my car, that's footage of someone removing the bumper to install the speed forme grille garnish. Lol I'm too lazy and it's too cold to drop my bumper right now. I designed my way out of that by making everything screw in from the front of the car :D
oh i see. the part you drill holes into is part of the entire bumper skin from what I can tell. The little grill rectangles is installed in front of that part of the skin. So yes, if you pop holes in it, would be tricky to fix it unless you're willing to plastic weld the holes shut.
So
