...well, not what you imagined.

i'm just passing the time in 3d studio





i'm building the head now... it's a bitch!

i've also completed the CAS (not seen here)

left to do:
a whole lot of things! oh well...

3d printed valve cover, hmmm I wonder if it would hold up.

the price would blow your mind. as an experiment i made an intake manifold for a toyota starlet, which is a lot smaller than an SR/RB, and the cost to print it in plastic, was around 700 $

of course you can make a mold out of it, so as a production value, its not much, but still...

edit: i remembered the stainless steel cost, was around 2200$

Jeez, that is a lot. Still though it kinda of gives hope of what could be made later on.

I can see a potential business in custom interiour pieces. For instance, a factory radioz bezel with a built in gauge pod piece that houses gauges of certain sizes and has holes in the back for them to plug into.

Or HVAC pieces under the dash

yeah i ve thought of that, i used to make a lot of fiberglass parts, from gauge pods to bodykits, and i've thought of printing some in 3d , finishing them with some sanding, primer, and making a mold out of them. i even build a ghetto 3d scanner, and when i'm not bored, im gonna scan the dashboard i have in my balcony to do some work

i have a problem though:
i'm bored, generally.

i blame the internetz

i need one but not willing to pay what people are asking for em'! and a brand new one would be awesome even if it were made of fiberglass.

I can almost bet the amount of money it would cost him to make you could buy 3.

Do a laser scan of the individual parts and build them in a 3D model- done. Did you model these from a photo conversion or from scratch? Looks good

everything modeled from scratch

i could scan the parts, but i need the engine IN the car. :P

i've made a mold of the coil pack cover cause i wanted to make a carbon fiber one, but i'm not sure if i wanna cover the coils anymore so i pretty much abandoned that project... but now that i have a vented hood i might get back at it.

5820verdet: jay leno has a 3d printer in his garage and his mechanic reproduces any part he can't find anymore for fixing up his rare cars... and thats years ago. if you re a tinkerer, you can use even the cheapest 3d printer, and with some post-work you can make a mold-ready part. after that, you can make a fiberglass mold, a sand mold for pouring aluminium, or whatever. but that's for people who have a LOT of time in their hands.

3d printers are popping up all over and getting cheaper as time goes on. My local library has one and you can print whatever you want, just pay $.08 an ounce for the material.

what kind of material are you suing to create this from the 3-d printer. Since you said you want to make a valve cover.

also you can change some inputs to reduce the sanding to no sanding. well depends on the CAD program you are using.

no measurements, just my eyes.

i'm making this for my own amusement, if i'm gonna 3d print something, its gonna be a tiny one, as an ornament for my desk.

also its not made in a cad program, that would be ...easier (also i dont know cad )

it's made in 3ds max.
