Geez man. I'm struggling so hard to figure out freecad even with all the free videos on TH-cam. This is inspiring though! Really excited to see this build progress.
And for people who don't have a modded Supra intake, it could function as a 2 alternator kit if you produced it. Cool that someone had modeled an LS Alternator. I wonder if Calvin has the capability to machine something like that?
You should probably put some sleeves in the rear alternator mount ears. The factory does it that way because all alternators are not exactly the same width in the mounting area. Have you ever had to back the sleeves out a little when changing an alternator? I know I have used a piece of all thread and two nuts to move the sleeve so I could get the new alternator in.
the 3d printer is tight because of the plastic shrink. You can take your measurements and add about 1-2% to them and it may fix the tolerance issues. Depends on your filament too. Some shrink much less than others.
Just takes a lot of tweaking to get everything perfect. TH-cam channel Teaching Tech has a great website for testing and getting all of your settings perfect. Flow rate, pressure advance, microsteps, etc all play a roll in getting perfect dimensions. When I first started with an Ender 3v2 years ago I spent a ton of time getting settings perfect for accurate parts. Once most things are set it still takes time to adjust for different filaments. Even different brands or types of PLA can need some tweaking to get perfect.
Both pcbway and Jlccnc offer cnc services online for a decent price all things considering if you are doing one off parts. I have used pcbway cnc services a couple of times and its not bad, they offer coating services as well. Send cut send would probably be cheaper though but some assemble would be required of course if making out of sheet metal.
It's crazy how 3D printing can be so valuable to parts fabrication. Great job on that !

Very nice. I agree make it in three pieces and use tab and slots to locate the pieces together.
Which way does the water pump rotate cause it looks like you’re rotating the water pump backwards or counter clockwise?

Nice work! Very cool to see the process and I think you've got the right thing going there.
Impressed with how well you are doing with that 3-D print modeling. I’m struggling.

I'd be curious in the price of one of these.
It'd help offset the cost with send cut send.
Very nice bro

@@kylebutler7948 Sendcutsend does up to half inch aluminum too, so may go the 3 piece route. We'll see.
Nice, player.
would you sell the file for download? Im running electronic powersteering so Id need the idler pulley mount
