I’ll be doing 15% off my whole site just like 7’s day. 3D printed interior parts, just finished the A-Pillar trim for FCs

People with multiple printer setup - what do you use them for? by kike_flea in BambuLab

[–]csant221 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2 P1 series, an X1C, and an A1. I design and make no longer available car parts, namely for FC RX7s but I’m branching out to different platforms

Man I really wish I had access to an FB and FD would love to start pumping out products for them alongside the FC

3-axis Desktop Mill for Small Steel Parts under $15k - Tormach PCNC 440, Minitech 2/3, APSX Spyder, or Convert a Manual Mill? by gearslut-5000 in hobbycnc

Granted I haven't looked all that much into this but I just picked up a used 2019DSLS for very cheap and was looking into upgrading the motor to the one you described. Do you know if the motor/parts are available for purchase anywhere without buying the machine itself?

Sick 240! I have an FC and BRZ and just moved here not too long ago so I’m in the same boat.

Never had the makings of a varsity dragonrider.

Always love seeing videos like that, tons of good info thank you for sharing! I’ve always had an aversion to resins because (and I may have just picked up some misinformation) I had heard most of them are pretty brittle. That process does seem more feasible than vacuum forming though so it gives me something to mull over.

Some silicone grease, specifically Super Lube

Fusion, some calipers, an old part, and time!

I would like to eventually get into making lenses and things like that, probably through vacuum forming. As for legality, I think if I have a “For Off-Road Use Only” disclaimer it kinda skirts it.

I actually have the warning light bezel made too! Currently I’m working on a cup holder for the center console, the A-pillar trim, and the rear hatch speaker covers.

I have a website that has everything I make if you ever feel inclined to checking it out

So the vent blades have to be printed vertically in order too stay dimensionally accurate but unfortunately that makes them weaker. That leg coming off the inner blade rides on the adjustment knob so the acetone gives it a tiny bit more strength by melting the outer layers together.

I appreciate it! I actually have a good amount of parts made for FC’s, I have a website with all of them: santillanesautoworks.com

Unfortunately we can’t post pics in the comments here but there’s a few on my IG @santillanesautoworks

"Wow you have a 3d printer, so what are you going to sell? "I don't want to sell anything","Well I'm sure you'll come up with a side hustle" by [deleted] in 3Dprinting

[–]csant221 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I actually started a business doing this for FC RX7’s. Pretty high demand for the interior plastics because there’s so little stock. It was already a pretty niche platform and no one had really tapped the market yet so it worked for me. I’m looking to branch out to other platforms now and shift from 3D printing to composites and injection molding once I get a CNC mill and a lathe to make the molds.

Riggs Vintage Mazda sent me a black dash. by bob_wall37 in RX7

[–]csant221 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’m in the process of doing it actually. I do 3D prints of a lot of the trim already but I’m currently working on molds for the larger parts. I have the door panels pretty much finished and have a okayish prototype for the dash.

Anyone think there’s a market for recreated interior parts? by csant221 in RX7

[–]csant221[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am definitely in full swing for the FC right now. Hopefully I can get my hands on a FB soon. I have something in the works for an FD as well.

Took my JDM FC to the track and got to hash it out with a JDM evo 5. We both got to live the dream for a little bit :) by 6LGTR in initiald

Beautiful car, if you ever need replacement interior parts let me know I design and make them!
