    Always in awe at how insanely clean your finished pieces are, seriously, OEM got nothing on you. Once you're done with the car you should totally bring it to shows and car meets, i'd love to see you get more recognition for your amazing work.

    If you using PLA for 3D prints, it will certainly warps over time. For more durable alternatives, try PETG, relatively easy to print and it doesn't warp easily like PLA. A stronger alternatives than PETG, you can try ABS, but its harder to print than PETG. I don't know if you already know this information, but I just want to share with you. Love your builds bro!!

  • @oogabuuga
    @oogabuuga 4 місяці тому

    Regarding the 3D printed parts, if i recall correctly, you used PLA, which is rather bad for things left outside. It deforms easily under heat and is not resistant to UV or chemicals. You might wanna look into PETG Filament. Same price, a bit fineky as it has to be dried (i prefer to print it straight out of a filament dryer for most reliability), but resistant to UV, chemicals and higher temperatures (up to 70C). Also much more pleasant to sand ^^

    • @TofuAutoWorks
      @TofuAutoWorks  4 місяці тому

      Yeah that's the downside with PLA for sure. I have printed a few parts with PETG but I had constant issues getting it to print nicely even with a dryer box set up. For the most part it's not really an issue anymore though because I wont be using any 3D printed parts on the finished car, only for moulds. Leaving that print for like 2 months or so in a barn with skylights and no insulation was a lot to ask.

  • @liamshannon4525
    @liamshannon4525 4 місяці тому

    I see youre putting down the coupling coat, thickened resin in the corners, and then another layer of chopped strand all in one go - is this something youd recommend? Easy composites videos (for example) do the coupling coat first, let it cure, and then do the rest later on - seems like your way would save a lot of time!!

    • @TofuAutoWorks
      @TofuAutoWorks  4 місяці тому

      So I sped it up for this video but I do follow the same steps as easy composites where I spray my gelcoat usually in the evening and leave it to cure overnight, then apply the skin coat of 225 gsm in the morning, let it cure past peak exotherm before keying and de-nibbing with sandpaper and applying the main layup of 2x450gsm matt.
      I've experimented with doing it all in one go and if you do it right then it can save some time and a little bit of resin too, but with larger, flatter parts, there's a small risk of introducing too much heat from the 3 layers and causing it to build tensions / stresses in the part as it cures which leaves you with a warped part.
      Typically all the cheap fiberglass kits you see that fit like garbage are because they churn them out as quick as possible with methods like that and I always like my parts to actually fit haha.

    awaiting for installations and fitting with final results

      I personally dont find the fiberglass to be that irritating. I just blow all the dust off with compressed air when I'm done and then have a cold shower at the end of the day and I'm never itchy.
