I used to do a lot of electronics encapsulating at my previous job. I used a small table top vacuum canister to remove the air prior to the pour. Just be sure to use a container atleast 200% larger than the amount of fluid as it expands under vacuum. Keep up the good work man, love the videos.
make the mold's lip taller and use a electric sander attached to the bottom of a small table and it will shake the bubbles up and out before the cure. Run time depends of the viscosity of the urethane.
Nice! Curious to see how they turn out. I shyed away from using TPU because I dont think the layer adhesion will be good enough for something like a bushing that is under high stress all the time.
@@SimplyVolvo That is worth considering. I am going to try heat treatment. I don't know if a couple of hours will do in the oven. It is worth a try. Thinking about upper engine mount, to begin with. That one usually gets tons of beating.
Totally rad channel!! Apologize for off subject.. I'm building a v40. Full motor build. Looking for a importer to acquire a manual trans from swed. Any suggestions? Also megasquirt or upsolute? Looking for somewhere over 500bhp. Thanks for sharing inspiration to go fast spend tons of cash and work on over Engineered vehicles😎
Use this website en.bildelsbasen.se/ For a V40 (assumings its gen 1) I would go with a standalone ECU. There really aren't any suitable options for tuning the stock ECU (even if companies say they can).
Looks like you were having fun with that first batch of bushing mix lol .. food colorant lmfao . I would have provably done the same .. brilliant. Make sure you put those molds on for sell too .. salud amigo .
@@SimplyVolvo good point. It's a shame Volvo are no longer supplying parts like this any more. I had to make my own throttle cable recently as that is a discontinued part too.
@@dangerousdave5076 I was surprisingly able to every single bushings for the rear end (over 10 different ones) except this one. But there's always a couple parts that are NLA. Hopefully Genuine Classic Parts starts reproducing a lot of these.

I considered getting a vacuum pump & vacuum chamber but for just 2 bushings I couldn't justify it.
@@SimplyVolvo make a vacuum machine!
Thats awesome and satisfying.
U sir, are amazing at what you do! Love it! keep it up!
Absolutely awesome!

I just ordered 500m with TPU, I will be printing bushings from that filament for my S70

Thoughts on Delrin for an application like this? Maybe too much stress on the hard drivetrain components?

Ugh the first batch was a friggin mess 😂😂 Im thinking about do a small batch run of the bushings.
@@SimplyVolvo I am interested when you have some available. I hope you will have it on your site.
Did you use pla for the 3d printed molds?
Anything you cant do? 😂. Super impressive..... keep it up volvo Jesus,
In the next video well see im not the best welder... 😂😂
Wicked!:)
When cured, does the bushing just slide out of the cast?
If you use a release agent like I did, yes.
Have you thought about actually printing the bush using polyurethane 3D filament like Ninjaflex?
I would be worried about the layers separating under the extreme stress these will see. I think a 2 part resin will be much more durable.

Set it on a back massager for 30 min.. bye bye bubbles
