For those of you that don’t know, if you need a 3d scanner and you have an iphone, you can use it as a 3d scanner, use the front camera for fine details as well.
Do you know if you can 3d scan with a Samsung galaxy s21,22,23 ultra?
@@hdhellion4128I think you can. Apps like Scandy Pro work decent
The cameras with multiple lenses on the same size can usually do it from a hardware perspective. Software-wise that's up to programmers.
This channel so legit. Speaks to those of us who are capable but still learning - and works for those of us with "normal" resources.
Thanks for that, I put a ton of effort into these videos and it's awesome hearing it's landing with the right people
I’ve used f360. You are engineer level doing shit :)
This got intense 😅
Progress update??
"Welcome to another episode of my Dad/Son 280z project car build." Every damn time..
It's crazy the stuff you come up with! I like how descriptive you are with your videos. Every time you post something cool like this, it makes me want to try new things. I just recently bought a welder and I started with 2d design software. Keep the amazing videos coming! Can't wait to see the finished product!
Reading this made my day, it's exactly why I wanted to start making videos. I'm still learning every day, just doing the best that I can. The welder is a total game changer! It will really open up what's possible
I love the car! My brother had an older one back in the day that he tricked out. Your work is amazing. And YES, please create more videos like this. They are a pleasure to watch and inspirational. Can’t wait to see the end result on the console.
Hey that's really kind thanks. Mostly everything on this car is totally new to me, just trying to do the best I can. Im glad you've been enjoying the series 👍
This hits just right. Keep making videos like this please. Can't wait to see what it looks like in it's final form
Hey thanks! Working on it more today 👍
i just binged your whole Datsun build playlist. Awesome work across the board! i'm pumped to see how the center console turns out, i'm sure it'll be incredible, just like the dash, and everything else on the build for that matter.
I really hope it works out! So far printings been a real struggle but I think I'm making progress. Glad TH-cam recommended me and you gave it a shot 🤘
Amazing work - would love to see how this turns out. Thinking of doing a roof console in my car - your videos are an inspiration.
Looking forward to seeing it come together. I really like it. Thank you for explaining it and your thought process.
Making progress on this this week! It's been way too long since I've been able to work on the car
Can't wait to see how's it'll turn out! I've been thinking about doing this for a 924 for years.
Awesome job! I love to look inside the design process and working it out!!!
Hey I'm glad you're into the series! 👍
Hey dude, keep up the good work. You do amazing at explaining and simplifying the basic building blocks to what goes into an engineering problem like this. I love it and cannot wait to see this come together.
Hey that means a lot, really. Thank you. Printing isnt going too terribly smoothly but we'll get there! 😅
Absolutely love this series
Hey Im glad to hear that, thanks! I'm hoping to make more progress on the console project next week.
Wow great design work can't wait to see that printed!!
Thank you! Working on it now!
This build is the best I've seen in a long time. Keep up the good work.
Hey thanks for that, really! Working on the console this week
Very nice, love to see more guys incorporating 3D printing into car builds. I'll keep watching to see how this all comes out.
Hopefully have a new episode on the console this Friday! Its been a major pain and took way longer than I thought it would
Dude! Just found this channel and sad to see there hasn’t been an update in awhile. Really hope you can get things back up, it’s really great content and hope to see more!
Definitely hasn't been the year I'd planned for! I've been dealing with repairing my home from flood/storm damage earlier this year. It's taken a lot more time, money and energy than I thought it would've. I'll be back to recording projects this fall!
How do you not have 1+mil subscribers ? This stuff is awesome
Haha hey thanks! I don't post nearly enough to deserve 1M, but I'm excited to be getting more videos out this fall! Maybe someday! 🤘
Found your channel again for the second time. Watched your original 3D die press and though it was cool. Now seeing you apply the die press and do awesome work fusing 3D printing with send cut send is awesome! Can’t wait to see more
Welcome back! Im excited to find more ways to bring functional printing and laser cutting into the project. Glad you're enjoying the projects 👍
Can’t wait to see the final results.
Everything's printed now, just trying to figure out how to make a decent video out of it!
Great job! Can’t wait to see the finished project
Me too! So far printing has been a big headache, but slowly getting things figured out 👍
I Have a 1971 240Z that needs a complete rebuild but is 100% complete and runs. I really like the wide body kit you used and would like to go that route. Thanks for the inspiration
@@rebuildranch1225 Awesome! The widebody kit is definitely an advanced install compared to bolt ons, but I think the effort's worth it. I've still got a lot to do on the widebody to finish mounting it to the car and clean up some of the body lines / fitment issues
this is amazing. I love it
Hey thanks! 👍
Dude, I love that center console design!!!
Hey thanks! Glad you're into it! Trying to make progress on it this week, it's been way too long!
Soooo cool man this is a crazy project and can’t I can’t wait to see how it looks finished up! Quick tip for modeling weird shapes irl, I always find it easier to model if I use datums, scales and loads of pictures. If you bring your pictures into cad with the correct scales and a solid datum, you’ll find modeling those odd shapes to be super quick and you can focus more on how to work around it! Hopefully that helps! That console is absolutely insane, props to you, such cool work!
That's great advice, I always forget about importing photos into CAD
Thats sick bro.
Hope you get around to posting the build of this!
This is such a cool use of consumer 3D printers. Really shows how your creativity is the limits of these machines.
Fingers crossed it actually all works out! 😅
This is great work! I'd love to see more like it! I am definitely subscribing!
Hey thanks for subscribing! Im trying to get another video on the console out this week! 👍
My new favorite TH-cam channel. Dude....don't change a thing, your videos are great! Can't wait to see how this turns out!!
That really means a lot, thank you. I put a ton of hours into them between ideas, planning, editing, and actually doing the work. It really helps hearing that I'm doing something right 👍
looks so good
Hey thank you! 👍
So awesome!
Keeping my fingers crossed it actually works out haha 👍
awesome work!
Hey thank you!
Beautiful!!
Thank you! 👍
This is amazing
Hey thanks! 👍
NICE WORK! NEW SUB!
1976 Datsun 280Z was my first car! Loved that thing.
Sick! It's always been a bucket list car for me. This was my first one but I've always loved the early Z's
Just started watching ure channel....really awesome stuff you doing. I like it! Great combination of 3D printing and automotive fab stuff....
Hey thanks! I'm glad you've been enjoying the series! 👍
Great content, hopefully one day my Fusion 360 skills will be on point as yours. Great work man!
This one was a brute force project! I modeled it wrong or badly several times to get here, but I'm really happy with it. Thinking of doing some more fusion focused videos in the future
impressive work dude,you show us so many different skills,mind blowing.As i think you cannot print that in one piece one of the challenges will be to fit them together without visible gaps where not intended.Keep the good work going.Greetings from germany and merry christmas.
Hey merry Christmas! Thanks for the kind words. You're exactly right, the console is going to get split into 9 separate segments and joined together. It's proving difficult. Hopefully have a video together before the end of the month showing what I'm thinking might work!
I’m new to your channel. A lot of fun and exciting trying new things, for sure. Where you guys located?
And are you interested in doing other projects?
Dude... stumbled across this from 3d printed dies and wtf... incredible project! love love love the Z
Haha hey thanks! I'm glad you're into the project, hope you check out my other build videos when you have the chance
working my way through from the start for sure
Can't wait to see the 3d printed center console
Working on it now! Printings being a real pain 😅
This was pretty amazing, every video im like, man I wish i could do that, the programming and the deisign work is amazing.
It's a lot of blind persistence and luck! Software's are a lot more beginner friendly than they used to be. You'll get there! 👍
@@GrindhousePerformance what software are you using?
@@karaabdelkader1273 I'm using Fusion 360 for CAD modeling and Cura for 3D Print Slicing 👍
My God, man, as someone who designs every day using solidworks, you are an inspiration to me give me more drive to get back to work tomorrow and do better with my designs. Keep up the great work.
It's so motivating hearing comments like this, thanks for commenting. I used to do a lot of CAD years ago, but these projects lately have pushed me into an entirely new set of challenges that are really exciting to tackle 👍
Very Cool. This kind of prototyping is exhausting but when you put it in the car for the last time..All the work will be worth it. Keep Going!!!!!
So long as it fits 😅😅 I'm excited for this one, but getting everything to print has been pretty challenging. Excited to see it all come together though
Love this!
Thank you! I'm hoping it works out 👍
Print it! Nice work.
Hey thanks! Everything is printed now, working on getting the video together! I've been working on flood/storm damage repairs to our house and it's taken up all of my time and energy
Damn this was cool! I want to see an update with the results of this.
Thank you! I've been working on filming an update to this project. I've gotten rusty after having to take such a long break from TH-cam!
@@GrindhousePerformance yes TH-cam isn't easy. I've tried it multiple times. Makes every project 4x longer lol
Hey I just came acrosss your video and Man U are a genius/talented man .. u inspire me to keep creating with with 3d printer .. hopefully one day I be close tk your level
Hey thanks! You will get there, 100%. I modeled this console probably 10 different times, badly, before sharing what worked in the video. Being consistent and persistent learning what works and what doesn't work will get you 99% of the way there, and the rest is luck! I'm thinking about doing some tips and tricks videos I'm the future. I've been penciling ideas as I've come across them
I've got that same amp in two of my Z31's with a 3D printed mount that locates the control pod at the front of the jockey box. I like it because i can use the line level input to retain the factory headunit and it is stealth, yet accessible. As far as how it sounds...its kinda flat but that could be very well the Rockford Fosgate R165X3's it running. I also ran a single channel amp off of the kenwood and its running a old school 8in bazooka tube in the hatch. Pretty respectable for such a small amp. Unfortunately They are discontinued now. Great work on the console design, I'm definitely learning a lot from your videos.
Dang, that's a little disappointing to hear! For the packaging of everything it worked out really, really well. I had a pretty low bar for audio quality from such a small package, so hopefully it sounds decent enough through the JL's!
Great job man! This video could have been called ‘why I need a 3D scanner’😂
LOL, yeah seriously. I'd love to get one someday
I tried to do patterns similar for a custom speaker grill. I couldn't figure it out :(. very nice work
Wow great job! Wish I could do something like that in CAD some day
Small steps at a time will get you there! I made a lot of mistakes trying and failing modeling this one before the finished version
@@GrindhousePerformance thank you!
very cool stuff. Makes me want to try my own, but you left me hanging i want to see more details did a good job explaining though
Definitely didn't mean to leave so many people hanging with the project! I've been dealing with rebuilding and repairing our home after flood damage and it's made it difficult to continue making content the last few months
I wouldn’t have touched this project without a 3D scanner… 😂
Einstar is a good one for this kind of project.
I'd love to get one someday! I know the lower end ones have been getting surprisingly good
I have a big project I am doing myself, and its nice to see how you're doing your project too. I am thinking that I shall design and make prototypes in 3D and then use those as plugs for moulds that I am hoping will become carbon fibre ... with the size of my project I think I may be biting off more than I can chew; but watching your enthusiasm is fantastic! More videos like this please!
I definitely feel the same way! Big huge prints like this get really frustrating but hopefully both of our results will be worth it. At the very least we'll learn something for next time 👍
FINALLY MORE CONTENT IVE BEEN HUNGRY
It's going to be a good winter 🤘
First video I see of you in my thumbnail, click for the 3d printed center console and its for a FairladyZ, literally my dream car... New sub!
Haha, that's fantastic. This has been a bucket list car for me for over a decade, I'm really fortunate to have the opportunity. Thank you for subscribing, I hope you enjoy watching the rest of the build series!
I'm going to 3d print the aero structural parts (using carbon panels between them) for the diffuser on my track ls3 s2k. Plus many other things!
Freaking sick! Bucket list car and swap for me, for sure
Finally found someone ahead of me on this trail. I'm working on a 90 foxbody and will be 3d printing a lot of the interior parts. You might want to look into 3d scanners, I'm learning how to work my Revopoint Pop2. I'll be able to get a scan of the sheet metal into CAD and design the interior around it. Just subbed, I'm off to binge the build now.
Enjoy the binge! I'll have to look into the pop2, I've been kinda let down by those style scanners before but have heard good things
I love this brother liked and subscribed
Hey thanks so much, I hope you enjoy my other projects on my channel!
I so need to learn Fusion 360 .. I am really comfortable with Sketchup but Fusion 360 is a beast .. wow .. great work
It's a very good software for how accessible it is! I would definitely recommend it to anyone watching my videos 👍
Dude! Where is the finished product? You left me hanging!!!
Haha I'm sorry! Everything's printed, I'm working on filming everything and getting the pieces joined together! Hopefully soon, project got sidelined way longer than I thought it would.
Awesome sauce
Hey thanks! 👍
I dunno man.
The factory ashtray is the perfect size to hide away a pack of Marlboro 72's LOL
For real though, I absolutely love this.
Marlboro 72's lmfao. Made my day, thank you!
You’re a hell of a modeller sir
What wasn't shown in the video was the 30 something hours spent modeling it all the wrong ways before I finally got things right, hahaha. Glad you liked it!
Great video, What model 3D printer are you using for your prints?
You're doing an amazing job. I don't know if anyone mentioned it farther down in the comments, but you might investigate using photogrammetry in an instance like this. All you need is your digital camera and the software to stitch the images together, and it builds a 3D model of the object. Then with one known dimension, you should be able to put it into Fusion360 or SolidWorks and manipulate it. Just a suggestion.
I'm really curious about photogrammetry, I haven't tried it but I'd really like to in a future video
Dude, you should have 2Mio subscribers .. awesome info, awesome presentation, fantastic cinematography and super creative content! Subb'd
Wow that's really kind to say! People have been sharing my videos like crazy lately, so maybe some day!
Subscribing based off this video alone. Can’t wait to see the finished product.
Thank you for subscribing! I've got a pile of parts here now and working on filming and editing the build out
Have you considered a 3d scanner for some of the future projects? Would have made designing around the awkwardly shaped trans tunnel, etc., a bit easier.
@@MrSlim1225 I'd love to get one someday. There's so many softwares and options now and the tech seems to be really improving at the entry level. I don't know whether the ones I can actually afford would be good enough yet for these kinds of projects or if it'd just turn into an expensive paperweight. 😅
I would love to see you use a 3D scanner and show us how you can use the 3D file to make the sufface adapters! 🙏
I'd absolutely love to get one! I've been pretty impressed with some recent scanners, and I think they'll only get better from here for budget/pro-sumer units
@@GrindhousePerformance yeah I feel yah man I’m in the same boat the only difference is that you actually know how to use CAD and I don’t and that is sooo frustrating for me since I got sooo much idea and can’t do shit about (expert start learning CAD which I’m gonna start soon) i’ve been working on my car for like more them a year and probably gonna need 1 more year to finish it 😫 hate my ADHD and dyslexia coz I’m always trying to find way to improve things and never finishing that I already started 😑 but I can promise you one thing! That when I’m done with the car it’s gonna be epic 😎
@@ali-sleimanchehade6129I'm very familiar with projects taking way too long LOL. A piece of advice that's helped me. Instead of considering the entire car a "project", consider each individual thing you're trying to do a project in itself. By breaking things down, at least for me, it seems at least a little less daunting. Whenever I look at the car as a whole it's easy for my mind to wander and to get overwhelmed. By focusing on specific projects, it's helped me make progress without getting too swept up in everything I have going on. You will get there with CAD. It's just time and practice. Most of what I learned was from being really persistent and trying over and over again until I figured things out. I've got a couple Fusion videos planned to help share some tricks I've learned over the years. 👍
This is great! No armrest or armrest storage?
Thank you! I should have added more of an armrest and storage. By the time I started filming I had a couple weeks trying and failing at CAD to get this together the way I wanted and didn't put a lot of thought into extra features. Maybe in rev2.0!
Quit saying it's out of your conf comfort zone, or you're not quite there yet. In my book, you are a GOD! Good job. Make a modern cockpit also. Like the Pansonic Cockpit Stereo from 1979.
Incredibly kind of you thanks! Im still learning, most of what you see on video is the results of trying and failing several times 🤣
Good stuff. Nice looking design that looks like it will go well with your gauge setup. I'm still trying to learn Fusion 360, so it's cool to see the process others use.
This project seems like it would have been perfect for some sort of 3D scanner to digitally collect all of the dimensions of the trans tunnel, etc. I actually just picked up a 3DMakerPro Lynx large-format scanner as a Prime Day deal. Haven't gotten to actually play with it yet, but looking forward to being able to scan vehicle interiors and exteriors, etc. to aid in helping me design stuff for my own project cars.You should seriously consider adding some sort of 3D scanner to your arsenal.
I'm hoping the vision for the interior starts coming together as we get all the individual pieces made up. I'd LOVE to get a scanner, but I'm so torn on what kind've budget to put together for one, and setting honest expectations for what I get out of it. I'd hate to spend a couple thousand dollars on one that winds up being a paperweight when I try actually using it, but the ones I would really like are well out of my budget. I'm excited how much this industry is growing though, and am hoping for big improvements in software as the competition continues for budget friendly scanners.
@@GrindhousePerformance True. The current offerings definitely run the gamut from really cheap ($300-$400ish) to well into 5 figures. I picked up a relatively cheap one (that can do larger format scans) to play around with (was $399 on Prime day deal) to get my feet wet. Hopefully it works decently enough. Will let you know how it works when I finally have time to play with it...
@@atchipmunk definitely let me know what your experiences are like!
very cool I took 3d animation at Vancouver film school using Maya design software ,like to design dash parts for c4 corvettes, as they have too much of that cheap plastic panels and trim parts.anyhow vey good video
That's awesome, I've looked locally for some classes to learn Maya, blender, etc.
Just found your channel, love the videos! I have a few suggestions for ya :
1) It might be worth your time to invest in a cheap 3D scanning tool to scan the amorphous body of the car. Then you can define work planes and mounting holes based off of the raw point cloud.
2) For a curvy, amorphous part, such as the center console, I'd highly recommend using surface-based modelling on the surface tab of Fusion.
3) If you're willing to pay, there is an industrial design extension (monthly sub available) that will give you an advanced patterning tool that has a TON of useful features. I'd guess that it's also way more optimized than patterning a sketch feature and having thousands of points+lines, which as you found will often crash Fusion lol.
Wow thanks for taking the time with your comments here, there's a lot of great advice. I'm not sold yet on a budget scanner. Ive been saving to get the whole car professionally scanned instead of having me fight or struggle with a budget unit. I've demoed some in the 10,000$ range where the software was still kinda crap, and I can't imagine the 1-2,000$ units are truthfully there yet.
I've watched tutorials on the surface modeling in fusion and totally forgot that wouldve been an option for modeling the console. I should spend more time learning the software because I'd guess body panels would also be much easier to model this way.
Do you have any other extensions you recommend? This is an avenue within fusion360 that I'm totally unaware of but would be interested in exploring or recording videos for.
Thanks again for putting the time into your explanations here, I'm glad you found my videos!
so badass
Hey thanks! Fingers crossed it all works out!
Props for just going at it the way you did. but you should check out the 3D scanners, the Revopoint mini and POP2 scanners are good sub $1000 scanners. I'm hoping to get one soon for this kind of work too. nice work
Thank you! I'd talked myself out of the kickstarter, but I'm definitely curious how it would've performed for this. Ive demoed some higher end units and think I'll wind up getting the whole car scanned professionally
@@GrindhousePerformance Don't know if you've seen it, but Shining3D has released their Einstar 3D scanner that seems to be pretty good (and relatively cheap for its performance) for automotive scans from the reviews I've seen on it so far. Also, would like to say I love the videos! I just saw them for the first time today and have gotten motivation to start working on my Miata again finally from all your amazing work!
@@captaintank5481 hey that's awesome to hear, I'm glad I've motivated you! I'll check out the scanner when I have a chance. 👍
You need a 3d scanner. It's cool that you are doing what I've always wanted to do, and that is custom fab. I hope one day I get to have enough time to chase my dreams and design cool stuff and 3d print/make custom parts.
I'd love one! I'm not yet convinced the budget ones would work out the way I wanted. Ive got a tendency of immediately wanting to test the limits of equipment and I think I'd be let down with a scanner I can actually afford. Have been saving up though!
hell yeah, i just starting to learn the 3d designing space, it is pretty cool to see it before it is built. I normally just have a bad sketch and start making stuff. I've got a guy coming to do some 3d scanning to help me design my chassis. huge learning curve. ha ha
If it doesn't start out with a bad sketch, does it even count as design? 😅 3D scanning is INTENSE, that's exciting!
@@GrindhousePerformance ha ha yea, i'm trying to force myself into the 3d world. That consul blows my mind. I do love working with fusion though, it seems somewhat easy to get my head around, and there are a lot of tutorials on youtube for it. Love watching your vids, your doing an awesome job.
@@animal_engineering thank you! Fusion works really well once you've gotten used to some of the quirks. I've broken a lot of models trying to come up with this one 😅
How will you print such a large piece??, I can't wait to see it
The plan is to print the assembly in multiple pieces and join everything together. Everything's printed now, Ive been working on a follow up episode (slowly!)!
I hope to see this channel come back
Im going to be recording this week; had to put this to the side dealing with flood/storm damage at our house and the console was a really challenging print!
@@GrindhousePerformance well I wish you the very best of luck
Nice work so far!
I tried the 3d printer route for my custom console but the quality was too rough and had delamination issues so I stuck with an English wheel and rolled what I wanted for curves and then did hand formed additions.
Will you be relying on just smoothing the surface with wet sanding or adding compound onto it and then smoothing?
That's really impressive being able to do with an English wheel, I've only been able to turn new metal into scrap with mine 🤣. Since the pieces need to get glued anyways I figured I'd just sand, skim body filler, with some high build primer. Debating trying to skin it in carbon but that's pretty far out of my comfort zone
That’s wicked! You can tell it’s for a Datsun because there’s no cup holders!
People keep asking me why the parking brakes on the passenger side, as though my shoulder isn't also on the passenger side in this thing 🤣🤣
Man... giving me a great thing to do to play with my 3d scanner and printers. 😂 Itd be fun to make a better, more custom console, have extra space for my smokes and the drink the wife usually has, etc
Haha I love that 👌 gotta get me a scanner some day
Hey! Do you have these files available to share? I checked your website and did not get the impression they are your product? Thanks!
Great work. I'd suggest adding a slight angle to where the speakers mount so they are at least facing towards you a little bit for better sound imaging.
😎👍👍
I'm surprised nobody else said this, you're 100% right. The pedal box is really cramped and will only get worse with the roll cage coming in. The console hangs over the corners of the tunnel so clearance wpuldve been tough without a total redesign. The audiophile in me is bothered, but with how loud the cars going to be the speakers are almost just for show 🤣🤣
I'm so excited for the update to the video! Are you going to leave the 3d plastic exposed or put something over it like alcantara?
Since it's getting printed in a bunch of smaller pieces at minimum it's going to get sanded and painted. I've been interested in possibly wrapping it but I'm not sure yet. Getting the pieces printed properly has been a whole can of worms 😅
Been meaning to 3d print my own center console but couldn’t figure out a good way to start. I like your approach with small and quick templates to datum and do from there. What version of f360 are you using? It seems my student/hobbyist free version can barely load a sketch at this point . Having the same issues with patterns as you. The throttling is hardcore
Im using the step above the student version, I needed it for exporting the laser cutting files if I remember correctly. My issues wound up being hardware related, the PC I started this project on was ~8 years old and couldn't handle it
Nice. I am not a Black belt in 3D design but I love this. I hope some day it will become easier wit Ai. And I can just upload the scan of somthing and then instruct through terminal ! Then a world of creativity will blossom for everyone 😊
Believe me when I say I had probably modeled the console 4-5 times incorrectly before I finally was able to get it to work; I'm definitely still learning as well. I'm very excited for AI being more attainable for CAD modeling, it does exist today as 'generative design' and it's pretty wild what it's able to do. Just excited to see it become more entry level friendly!
@@GrindhousePerformance you did amazingly! You are a skilled craftsman. And creative. I will follow your process and look forward for next video :)
Bro great content I hope you keep making videos like this. Now one suggestion, consider the amount the dirt and debris the is going to accumulate on the horizontal pattern.
That's a good point, it's going to kinda be a nightmare to clean isn't it 😅
You are so fking great! Awsome video, thanks a lot!
We'll see if it actually works first 🤣🤣 thanks!
Badass!!
Hey thanks! 🤟
thanks for amazing video! What is a wall thickness? Which plastic will you use? I didn't catch it.
Hey thank you! The pocketed sections of the console are 3.2mm thick (makes it 4 easy lines with a 0.8mm nozzle). The thicker ribbed areas are 6mm. I'm using ASA as the filament for the console.
@@GrindhousePerformance noted, thanks. In my old car I intended to printout a new console by ABS plastic. But it stay a dream only, and I sold my car as is.
Someone might have mentioned this already, but regarding the speakers. Are they supposed to be woofers or midtone?
You should consider adding a divider in the middle (if space?) to prevent the movement of the membrane to act upon each other.
I originally planned to isolate the speakers in their own compartments with vented chambers and everything, but packaging got to be really tight/complicated. Maybe in a future revision if these sound terrible. I'm keeping my expectations low with sound quality, but will definitely be better than what came out of the car! You're 100% right though
@GrindhousePE you could wire them out of phase with each other, so when the left side expand, the right contract.
(If you plan to use them as lo range/woofers).
Great vids man. Did you consider photogrammetry or even acquiring a lidar equipped apple device to map your models around?
Used it for car wrapping in the past and was very effective.
Keep up the great work.
PS, Haven't finished vid yet, so apologies if you come up with this later...
I've watched some videos on photogrammetry and am really interested in giving it a shot sometime. More softwares and things to learn 😅 but it looks really effective. I'd love to get a scanner someday too but I don't think the entry level ones are really worth much
When it comes to cars, my personal weakness is 1960's and early 1970's American iron. Incorporating 3D printing into your project, is definitely something I am interested in, especially with some parts of those cars being unobtanium. I also don't know squat about CAD, so this could help maintain my interest in learning how to use it.
Im glad you've been enjoying the projects! Im planning on some CAD tips and tricks videos in the future to help people interested in getting started!
Where did you go? Also custom pattern of the z instead of the squares would be siiiick
I like that idea, I might play with some alternatives. I'm dealing with repairing my home after some flooding/storm damage. Trying to get back into the swing of things but it's been taking a lot longer than I wanted
@GrindhousePerformance would love to see it! Sorry to hear, gotta focus on the important things first. Best of luck and take care
Very nice job! Could you share what wall thickness you went with on the console shell both inside and out of the pockets?
6mm for the main body, 3.2mm (4 walls x 0.8mm nozzle) for the pocketed sections 👍 thanks!
@@GrindhousePerformance thank you
I dig your work but am wondering about heat after you cut away the tunnel. Could that melt the print?
It's certainly possible. There's still going to be metal separating the tunnel and the console technically has an air gap everywhere it isn't mounted to the tunnel. I figure I'll give it a try this way and if it warps I'll look at using the model to make a composite version
