Awesome job Barnesy. How good is technology these days!! You have discovered a really great future and can now take pride in building whatever you want!! Great stuff
Thanks mate, yes it is quite amazing how fast tech is moving, looking forward to being in that space as it evolves. 👍
Impressive
Gday, I can truly appreciate how much effort you’ve put into reproducing the tail lights, it’s a massive achievement to have the first one come off the printer as good as it is, top effort mate and good to see the young bloke want to have a go to, cheers
Thanks Matty, coming from a bloke that is good at his craft as you that’s a massive compliment! Yeah the young fella was keen to get involved! Cheers
Just a tip for PLA. Keep the lid and door open, it's a pain to unclog the extruder when the PLA gets too soft and wraps around the gears.
But great work reverse engineering that light. People just assume that its a simple scan and you're done job. But when you explain what actually goes into it they don't want to get the work done anymore.
Thanks, yes I have learnt all about clogged hotends and extruders, but more with ABS, PLA is a breeze in comparison! Yes it is a very intricate and drawn out process to get the right fitment, patience is key.
Absolute genius with the tailight housing they look fantastic
Thanks mate
Hi Aaron, those tail lights look superb. I was thinking of doing the exact same thing, but I think I will just wait until they are in your shop. I will be chasing the LED version for my electric WB.
Keep up the great work, and great videos. Don't let a few dud comments put you off, you are never going to please everyone.
Chris
Thanks Chris, I think LED will be the go, bit of work involved yet but I will solve it. Yes and it’s hard to not take a comment like that personally but at the end of the day you really cant please everyone.
Geezes you are killing it barns well done and the perfect choice on the rims good work buddy
Thanks Greg, yes very happy with the wheels, they suit the body lines
Bloody ripper👌
Very nice indeed!
Well done
looks like you might have to buy a couple more printers. haha. keep up the good work.
Cheers, yes I think a couple more will help!
Perfect choice on your wheels mate.
Thanks, yes They do suit the body of the H series
Well done with the 3d printing mate. Wheels look awsome. 🍻
Thank you! Cheers!
Great job Aaron. I can absolutely appreciate the work gone into your tailight buckets. Ile definitely purchase two with globes once you have them ready for sale. Great choice for your wheels. I hope they dont scrape on your front guards. Talk soon mate.
Thanks Tim, I still have to figure out how the globe inserts were produced, maybe heat pressed in. The bloke said that 7.5 inch should clear the guards, any wider and they would, so hopefully they are alright.
great job mate. currently fixing up a HQ my self. 3d printing is going to make it a lot easier for small parts like this.
Definitely a great tool to make restoring that bit easier. Good luck with the build.
Love those wheels they will fill those arches nicely , the tail light buckets are mint , you are getting good at the printing, could you possibly print those vents? they are hard to get pristine, Great to see you moving forward and looking forward to your next vid , your not far off driving her mate .
I agree, I think that style of wheel really suit the h series, I know it’s a common choice but you really can’t go past them. I just used the vent as an example of the process really, I wasn’t aware they were hard to get either. There’s so many little parts here and there that need reproducing again, the list is long. I will maybe revisit after I get the Ute started and assembled as it has taken me away from the main build quite a bit.
Hey mate, these look like they turned out pretty well. I'd be interested in a set as mine are pretty cactus.
Thanks, yeah no worries, I will make sure when they are finished to post them up again. Cheers
Hey Barnesy, have you had any progress with these? I'd be keen on a pair if you've got it all worked out!
@@hamishjordan4339 Down a printer at the moment which has slowed things up but I hope to have the production model compete in the next 2 weeks. At this stage it will be blanks only followed by wired up versions original and led
I am definitely interested in the tail light bodies Barnesy, it looks like you are making good progress there. Mine are very tired like all of them now probably, and have been waiting for someone like you to get somewhere with them. I have two sets of new genuine lenses that I got a long time ago when they were still available. One set is on my Ute and one set are still in the box. You are definitely a wizard with the 3D printing. The wheels look good. We were in Victoria last week touring about. Jeff
Hey Jeff,
Yes sure I’m happy to keep plugging away at them, I think only a few small mods and they will be ready to wire up a test one. Where did you venture from to get to Victoria?
@@BarnesysBuilds We went down from the Southern Highlands of NSW to near Port Fairy where we finished a Great Ocean Road trip last year. Then on to SA to tour the Peninsulars then back through western Vic and home. Camping in the canopy on my Land Cruiser. Good trip.
Good stuff mate looks great, you would have no trouble selling those
Looks amazing great work i have a wb panel van i could only imagine how useful it would be to have a 3d printer
Barnesy's Builds, why not print it in PetG, yes ABS would be a good option though you would have to worry about it warping. Even in an enclosure ABS can still warp sometimes I find. Because of that I have moved away from ABS to PetG. Though with PetG you need to dry the filament as it tends to absorb moisture.
I’m open to other materials for final production, ASA maybe also in the running but the costs of ABS are better as each unit uses a bit of material
@@BarnesysBuilds Yeah, Instation where I get my filament ASA is an extra $9 more than PetG. The only problem I have found with PetG is the supports are harder to get off when you have alot of it.
@@corty1980 It sounds like PetG is more like a nylon, I’m keen to try other newer materials than ABS, warping could be an issue on such a large part with so many supports
Hi, what was the print time roughly for the tail light bucket. I did an air filter snorkel it took 33hrs and that was pretty basic compared to this.
I got it down to 11 hours and hope to improve on that with some tricky settings on the printer.
Do u do gauge holders for a hj monaro .?
HJ is the same as HZ I’m pretty sure. Same facia support for all HJ HX HZ to WB. HQ is different.
How long did it take you to block back the orange peel? mine is very similar and frankly a little daunting to start the process haha
Took a while, it’s quite a precarious process of knowing when to pull up sanding and go to polisher
I commented this a couple months ago, but still am curious - do you think you could make air vent block of plates and sell them on your website?
The same air vent I scanned?
@@BarnesysBuilds the air vent on the h series dash
@@jimmyy9273 yes that was the one I scanned as an example, it would need to be taken apart done properly however for a production version
@@BarnesysBuilds fair enough
Been watching from the start for the Ute. Not to see a cashed up bloke show us how he makes money. Won't spend $150 on a part but has 3 3D printers. You may want to revisit your fan base. Later
Sorry you feel that way mate, that’s not my intention at all I’m documenting resurrecting rare parts and the process involved as a lot of people have asked to see it. So it’s because of the subscribers I am doing this video and progressing the spare parts for these vehicles.
@@BarnesysBuilds If you can 3D print front bumper bar rubbers for a WB Statesman, I'll watch the video and buy a set off ya mate!
@@Balony77 I think I saw some bloke had them made out of cast rubber actually, or it may have been the rear thick rubbers on the bumperettes.
@@BarnesysBuilds I've seen the rear bumper rubbers for sale, but not front main bumper or bumperette rubbers. If you know of someone that remakes the front ones, flick us a link.
@@Balony77 some bloke definitely made the thick bumperette ones, I remember he was getting preorders on the Facebook group HZ -WB Tonners and Utes or Wb kingswood group, I can’t remember but I can find out
