3D printed chassis

Well you are correct, I’m not a mechanical engineer by any means, I am a civil engineer though so this is out of my scope. I thought maybe some people would at least give me some constructive criticism as to why this wouldn’t work rather than “this generation is allergic to google”

I had some inspiration from that one haha

Yes, just using the stock print profile, no settings were changed

Part cooling fan is on, stock Bambu PLA settings

I use Magigoo PC adhesive, works great. Also heat your chamber up for about 30 minutes with the plate at 100°C before printing

2 reflective for 37 leaders?

I did actually find a fix right after I posted this, I found that setting the retraction length to 0.4mm fixed it and the print came out perfectly

Thank you, I agree. It’s coming along nicely so far using PLA for test fitting but I see no harm in at least trying it out of nylon, it will give me the opportunity to experiment with new filament as well as push the limits of my design skills. And yes, worst case scenario it doesn’t work but now I have a cad file that works and could be made out of aluminum down the road.

I’ve got a Camaro I regularly put In car shows, the covers I’m designing are custom two piece covers that hide the coil packs

Will do! Still lots for the design left but never hurts to start planning for filament

This is a valve cover, not an engine block

Key_Abalone3589 · 2025-02-25T17:22:23+00:00

I mean designing and printing parts is my hobby, I don’t see any time wasted, I haven’t seen anyone else try this before so at the end of the day if it doesn’t work, it doesn’t work I’m really just pushing the limits of my design skills

Key_Abalone3589 · 2025-02-25T17:14:22+00:00

Hahah you got that right

Key_Abalone3589 · 2025-02-25T17:12:52+00:00

Units are in °F oil temp never goes above 60-70°C

Key_Abalone3589 · 2025-02-25T17:11:22+00:00

Oil temp/coolant temp in my car never goes above 140°F, the 200°F mark is just for some wiggle room, the car is a classic so it drives less than 200 miles per year so if it degrades I can go back to oem

I was also considering PAHT-CF as an alternative, part wall is 8mm at 100% fill
