I had to move my SCS Code to IG to help filter out the bots - sorry for any inconvenience!
Really enjoyed this. The mix of creative layout, fuzzy skin 3D printing, laser cutting, and Z-cars. Well done, Sir. Well done. Peace, from the RT diff mount dood.
Hey I know that mount! Glad you liked it. 👍
Yes I’d like to see a video on printing nylon.
This inspires me. Wow that has a classic sleek look.
Hey thank you! 👍
Came out sick! Can’t wait to see it in the car. Love seeing printing issues and how you overcome them.
Thank you! I'm excited to get it into the car, I need to redo the roll cage to get it onto the dash bar first
Would love to see more cf nylon content! 🤙🏼
My new favorite channel! Please keep making new videos! So fucking cool
Working on the center console today! Im excited to get the interior coming together 👍
I can’t believe this?! This is as sick of custom 3D work as I’ve seen! This dude makes you think there are limitless possibilities. Big time props 🙌🏻👍🏻👊🏻👏🏻
If I can do it, anyone can 🤣🤣
This is the nicest gauge setup I have ever seen. Very original and love all the technical work that went into it
Wow thanks for that 👍 glad you liked the videos!
I’ve gotta say, this cluster is super impressive! Functional prints/prototyping is what originally got me into 3D printing, and it’s awesome to see when it comes together in a build like this. Seeing content like this makes me all giddy 😂. I never would have thought of using inset nuts like that with a soldering iron. I hope you continue to integrate printed projects like this throughout the build. Keep slayin it 🤘🏼
There's specific adapters for the soldering iron that make it really, really simple. It drops in place of the tip, and comes in different sizes for the different nuts. Highly recommend. Im planning to leverage the printer as much as I can finishing the car 🤘
@@GrindhousePerformance thanks for the info, just ordered some! Also looking forward to how the console plays out 👍🏻
@@rossvautour1338awesome, good luck with them! Have been trying to make progress on the console but printings been really challenging. Getting close to bonding all the pieces together and seeing if it fits! 👍
Man I just found your channel, this is good stuff!
Hell yea, glad you found me! 👍
Frickin rad! You're a ninja-master with CAD!
You don't want to know how many hours of brute forcing learning and redoing things went into the cluster 😅😅
@grindhousePerformance you are very talented! Your regular updates are missed sir!
Really kind of you thank you. Back this fall! Had to take a break dealing with flooding and storm damage here.
@@GrindhousePerformance so great to hear! We are just about to start an s30 project. Love you’re build! Awesome can’t wait to see your fall episodes
Awesome work!
Hey thanks! 👍
Hell Yeah!!!
Came out exceptionally well! Can’t wait to see what your whole concept looks like all together.
Trying to get going on the roll cage this month, then getting some mounts designed! Im excited to see it in the car, it looks so good just on the bench. 👍
That's very cool! Pretty awesome I love how you kinda recreated the Datsun spacing. I'll have to take a look at the rest of your vids. I have a couple Datsuns I'm working on. I've been 3D printing for years so this kind of project is right up my alley.
I hope you enjoy the series! I'm planning on getting much deeper into 3D printing for the car, it seems like a great way to bridge the gap between myself and the big builders out there
Great work mate, looking forward to seeing the car finished
The cluster project is super motivating to push totally outside my comfort zone! I'm really excited to see it all come together
Glad to see your back after that span that you were inactive
It's going to be a good winter! 🤘 I've been able to get more time on the car and trying to start uploading more regularly again
This is a sweet project! I Like the different materials and processes used to design and build this. It looked like alot of fun and it came out great!
Hey thanks im glad you liked it! 👍
I had a dispute with my home owners insurance company and after agruing with multiple employees there, one of them said he watched my channel and pushed my refund through!! Definitely dont know who watches you channel! Great job!
I believe it!!
Glad you're back!!
It's been too long! Glad to be back in the shop again
Wow, this is so pleasing. I think I need a 3D printer now, it looks like a whole new world of customization.
Your methodology is great too, love the process.
I want to break the stigma that printers are meant for making toys and desk widgets. This thing's totally changed my working dynamic in the shop, and I'm way more excited to take on things I never thought I could possibly do.
@@GrindhousePerformance you are bringing engineering to the table, the fact that you are essentially mapping out and digitally creating what most did by hand shows the capability that anyone had with common sense and the right tools.
Just found your channel and i´m glad i did, just my cup of tea. Automotive, 3D printing and mechanical design is my main hobby. You did an awesome interpretation of a classic JDM interior. I hope to see more of that in your channel and to see you grow. A tip. you mentioned that you were worried about the inserts and that they would distort the plastic. Try making the threads directly in Fusion. In a place like that, it is overkill to put inserts anyway. The plastic is stronger than you think and you can make thinner fasteners when you don't have to consider the inserts.
That's a great point on threading directly into the print. I think with how small they were, printing them round and tapping them might've worked better than printing M3/M5 threads, but I haven't really tried it to know. You're right they're not loaded at all, so probably would've worked just fine! Glad you enjoyed the video and hope you like the rest of the series!
@@GrindhousePerformance When i started with 3D printing i used inserts on everything regardless of size or plastic quality. You can do M2 threads in Fusion if you have decent layerheight and nozzle. I didn´t belive it either until i tried. These days if i want it stronger i often use nutpockets from the other side so i sandwished the plastic. And thats also cheaper:) The time i use inserts is when i want to assemble and disassemble many times or i want it strong but don´t want to see a nutpocket. You have interesting idéas and good eye for design so i gonna follow you bec. i want to see more :) Good luck with your project.
@@tomsondesign That's great to know and really surprising, thanks!
Nice work !
Thank you!
Fantastic and stunning results. Congratulations 👍👍😎👍👍
Im really, really happy how it turned out. Just need to get the cage built so I can get it mounted! 👍
Congrats on SEMA. enjoy this build series. this dash makes a strong argument that i need to start learnj g to 3d print.
its really nice!!!
Thank you! I'm so freaking stoked how everything turned out. 3D Printers have come a long way, they're a lot easier to get into than they've ever been!
came out so good! nice work
Hopefully it works out in the car and I can figure out more to do with the interior!
Keep up the good work man. Looking good.
Thank you!
Clean!
Hey thank you! I'm incredibly happy with how this turned out.
Congrats man
Hey Thanks Matt!
Damn I subbed last night and you have 200 more subs than yesterday. Hopefully that growth stays, your build is great!
Thanks for subscribing! This month's been incredible for growth 👍
amazing work
Hey thanks!
So awesome.
Impressive design and execution.
So glad I stumbled upon your channel, I hope you can get some help making more content, I think this channel has A LOT of potential.
I'll have a lot more time to put into making videos this winter! It's a TON of work doing everything myself but I've got a lot of ideas I'm excited to share. Glad you gave my videos a chance! 👍
I just this UA-cam channel and I’m already subscribed. This content is awesome, keep it up and don’t get discouraged
Hey thanks so much, easier said than done for me sometimes, but I'm going to keep doing the best I can and see how it goes! Hope you enjoy the series
Amazing
Hey thank you!
How in the heck do you only have 8K followers? This is amazing!
That's a great question 😅 working on growing!
It would be nice that you could share your configurations on cura
I will get my settings added to my website, but truthfully printers are all different with different environmental conditions. There's a low likelihood they'll help very much
thanx
I stumbled across your channel, and I am glad I did. We have REALLY similar content and interests (wild!). Keep it up!
Awesome! Thank you!👍
Would love to see a video on nylon x!
Top shelf work. Any updates on the build? Just found the channel and see it’s been a while since the last upload.
Hey thanks for that, I'm really proud of the gauge cluster. The build's been put on the back burner while I've been dealing with some storm/flood damage at my home. I haven't been into the shop hardly at all this year dealing with it. I've been filming pieces for different projects and will be getting back into projects as soon as I can. I've got a lot planned for the channel that I'm excited to share and test.
Pretty badass
Hey Thank you!
@@GrindhousePerformance when's the next update for the car??
@@chinafukr69kack31 I had to take quite a bit of time off dealing with flood & storm damage. We had to completely demo a large part of our house. I'm just starting to film things again, but it's taking me a LONG time knocking the rust off 😅
@@GrindhousePerformance I see, sorry to hear that. Can't wait for an update video
That's a badass gague cluster... I need to up my skill in fusion to start making my own parts
My best recommendations just to spend a little time modeling random objects around your room or shop. Try modeling the same part a few different ways using the different tools until you start finding your feet with it. I could do a video on fusion tips if there'd be interest
@@GrindhousePerformance I'd watch it! Love the datsun content... It's on my short list to build
I would like to see the pain you went through trying to get your setting for the PA carbon
When I lost all my slicer settings after getting everything so well dialed, I about gave up on it. This was definitely one of the most challenging print projects I've done
Just go with risen printer, it comes out clean and solid. I love your work 🤘❤️
I need to look into them more, I've been curious what's out there but havent looked into resin printers much
kindly do an indepth video about nylon printing thanks Boss
I've got a very partially written script for one, I might tie it into a 3d printing tips and tricks video
Wow very interseting and good experience :) May i ask, i have just started watching, did you run a test for the filament outside in afternoon where the sun is at max temp?
Thanks for the value man
I didn't personally, but the filament came recommended from folks who use it regularly under hood, exterior etc. I'm honestly a little nervous with it being up near the windshield but I guess we'll see!
Love your project dude ! love it. What fillerment did you use ? Looks real nice.
Matterhackers NylonX material for this one
I love the collor of it, so nice. I will buy this for my motorcycle projects. Keep up the good work.👍
Wow! Amazing content! Keep at it! You’re inspiring me to work on my 260! What printer are you using?
Im using an ultimaker s3 but any FDM printer with a hardened nozzle should work ! 👍
Glad I stumbled onto your channel, very cool stuff. Any chance you could share your Nylon X settings? I've been having the same problem with chunking. Thanks, and keep it up...
Your mileage may vary on this, but 98.5 flow, 265* nozzle temp, 90c bed temp, 255c initial layer temp, min layer time 35s, coasting .216mm^3, z hop disabled, 35mm/s travel speed. It's a little goofy but it worked for me on my printer
@@GrindhousePerformance Thanks a bunch, I'll try it out next time I'm printing Nylon X. I'm sure you already know, but the Nylon X needs to be dry, I bought a dryer to keep it in.
@@HemiDartGT That's exactly right - also needs dried straight out of the packaging, don't assume since it's new and sealed up that it's dry enough to print with.
Great prints! I've been using Ionic for my car projects as well with ASA as the main filament. You may want to consider using Ionic as the support interface layers, and the carbon fiber for the actual supports, with as expensive Ionic is it could come out much cheaper. I have had good success using two interface layers of Ionic at 0 spacing and 0 z distance above and below the interface layers. Cheers!
That's a really great idea, ionic certainly isn't cheap. Is that something easily configurable in cura? I haven't seen an option like that im aware of
@@GrindhousePerformance No, I'm pretty sure Cura doesn't support it, but I'm almost certain PrusaSlicer does, each having their benefits. I use BambuSlicer for my Bambu X1C, which is built off PrusaSlicer, and it has that feature
By the way, sent you an email with some info on my projects which mirror yours in a lot of ways, it's great to see others out there doing this sort of thing!
Congratulations on this awesome design and realization, came out Awesome! Would really be interested in your 3D Printer setup and how you achieve these nice results! *Btw have you ever tried incorporating 'rivet nuts' in your 3D design for printing? I find these are very nice to use, in their original state, when needing to fasten anything to 3D prints...
Hey thanks so much. This project is a huge huge accomplishment for me and I'm really happy how it all came out. I printed this on an Ultimaker S3, but I think the results really came from the Matterhackers NylonX filament. The way it flows when you get it dialed in makes the surface finish look absolutely stunning for an FDM printer. I haven't really used rivet nuts in 3D printing (rather, rivet nutting the 3D printed parts) because I figured the pressure from the rivet would crack the plastic, or that it would loosen over time. I've used rivet nuts on metal panels, then used those to bolt 3D prints down, but haven't personally tried riveting directly onto the plastics.
@@GrindhousePerformance Thnx for the info! Is the surface characteristic a special slicer setting? *I don't mean using the rivet nuts as you would in a metal plate, but just in their original form, so without using the pliers at all...
sick videos.
where can I find the CAD design video?
ua-cam.com/video/rqUU2YV7G2Y/v-deo.html 👍
Nicely done. Who makes that control panel?
Hey thanks! The keyboard is from ECU master 👍
Im generally using in CF infused PETG but did you apply a texture to your 3d Print to avoid the layer lines? No matter what i have layer lines but i know i dont have a texture function in my Slicer or Rendering software
This is how most things I've seen using matterhackers nylonx look, I haven't used other CF based filaments to compare. I did not use "fuzzy" mode or any special tricks aside from general tuning to get this surface finish 👍
Great stuff! :) Which material did you print with?
Thank you! This was printed with matterhackers nylonx and ionic filaments 👍
NylonX seems to be a pretty good filament 🙂
@@FlyingFaroe it definitely took some tuning and playing around, but the finish quality is astounding to me. You can hardly see layer lines when you've got it dialed in! I haven't printed much in it since the cluster but I definitely want to use it more
The first print was because the filament was wet!
I thought the same when I first started. It had been dried for 12 hours, after having already been dried for 9 hours without any change.
what is the music in beggining and the end of the vid ?
My man 3D prints more useful things than any 3D printing channel I've seen, props to you!
I want to break the stigma that printers are meant for making toys and desk widgets. This thing's totally changed my working dynamic in the shop, and I'm way more excited to take on things I never thought I could possibly do
Maybe You should buy a Bambu X1C printer
I've been hearing a lot about those machines, a friend picked one up and so far has liked it a lot. Definitely curious about them
Which gauges did you use for this?
It was a 240z kit from speedhut. You can make customizations to the faces, needles, etc 👍
What resin is used for it?
This was printed using NylonX filament with an FDM printer, I don't have a resin printer
What brand are the gauges
They're from speedhut 👍
Did I miss who made these gauges?
The gauges themselves are from speedhut 👍
2:02 🤨😳
Ooof, that was a bad way to cut the video, don't grab moving parts 😅
SLA printer would solve all of your fdm printer issues
Would love to get one someday, but the ones with decent build volumes are $$$
My 3d printer seems pretty inconsistent. One big problem I've noticed is that the taller an object is, the worse the top layers seem to bond. It's really disappointing for as long as 3d printing takes. I have an enclosure....and a filament dryer (that I still need to use.) I would love to see a video about how to overcome certain issues and how to identify them.
That's interesting, so you're saying your adhesion between layers get worse as the print gets taller? That sounds like maybe your individual layers aren't printing as "thick" as the printer thinks they are, so the higher it goes, the further the nozzle actually is vs. where it thinks it is? Is it dependent at all on the geometry you're trying to print? Vases vs thick wall?
@@GrindhousePerformance I've had issues both ways. It's been a long time since I've used the printer because of it. I did some cubes to verify (and adjust) setting so my dimesions were correct. I thought it might have been that the higher layers were too far from the heated bed, so they'd cool off too fast and not bond properly. Kind of sit on top of the previous layer, instead of squish together, does that make sense?
@@jayinmi3706 that might suggest your nozzle temp is too low, if the bed is contributing to there being enough heat in the part for layer adhesion. The bed heat's only really meant for keeping the first layer adhered, but the heat it generates can definitely impact other layers. Maybe bump up your nozzle temp some? Depending on your printer it might struggle maintaining target temperature. If the filament calls for like 250 and you're only -actually- giving it 220 you'd definitely have issues
@@jayinmi3706 don't expect a cheap printer to do what a proper printer can, assuming you have a cheap one that is
@@sexyfacenation It wasn't super pricey, but I follow a lot of guys who use the same one who don't have the issues I have. I think a lot of it comes down to the location I have it in (basement) and that I only use it occasionally.
What were your print configurations? There's literally no layer lines.
I think it's more of a characteristic of Matterhackers NylonX than anything else, but I printed at 265*, 98.5% flow, 0% cooling, 255* initial print temp, 90* bed temp, minimum layer time of 35 seconds, with a small outer wipe and coasting adjustments. I did not use fuzzy skin settings or anything like that to get the surface result. The parts look incredible in person, I would've never imagined that kind've surface quality out of an FDM printer.
Wait, where is the finished 3d printed product?
The cluster was built for my personal car. It's not really something I would sell with how complicated the whole mess of it is. I think the keyboard & gauge designs have changed as well so I'm not sure it could be remade even if I wanted to
It’s not that I wanted to buy it. It was just that I wanted to see the finished product, given the title of this video. It felt very anticlimactic at the end without seeing the fruits of your labour.
Please except this as constructive feedback.
🇦🇺🤜🏼🤛🏼🍀😎☮️
@@stevesloan6775ahhh gotcha! 9:20-9:50 have some nice shots of the finished assembly but I haven't wired the car or designed mounts yet to get it into the car. I should've gotten some roll of me in the car with it to give people an idea of what it's going to look like
Am I first?
Yup! 🤘
This car is porn. Thanks for your vid.
Hey thanks for that! Glad you're into it 🤘 I'm really excited to get the cluster mounted in the car
@@GrindhousePerformance
I love this car. Once it was my dream to get it and to tune it like a sleeper, because it looks amazing. You are doing a great job. Except I'd somehow try to make the rear wider by metal work, I know it would be really hard. I'm looking forward to see you car finished and in action.
Is there more than one person working on any of this?
There's a few exhaust projects I've brought a friend in for, but otherwise Ive been doing all the filming, editing, design, fab, etc. It's a big reason everything takes me as long as it does 😅
@@GrindhousePerformance Good to know. So only use "we" when you really mean multiple people. It's totally fine/safe/legal to use "I" when it really applies. Office environments and big corporations have taught people to never use "I" and give the credit to "the team". Nope, if that isn't what happened then I'm not saying it.
