Man this is such a dream scenario for me. Custom designs in my Mk3 Golf to make it look oem+ instead of just modernizing everything to an absolutely unholy point. You being a mechanical engineer and having the space and tools to do all that is an absolute life goal of mine. Looks awesome and makes my brain tingle. Love this.
Hey mate, thanks for watching and the kind words! The space and tools have been accumulated over many many years, the first build on the corolla was done outside in the middle of winter in my driveway :)
I'm so glad this came across my algorithm. Good old Corolla content seems pretty slim. I have a ratty little TE21 with like half a million miles on it and it's still just the best car. Also, I want one of those dash panels. It's looking really sweet.
Thanks for checking out my page mate glad you like it. Te21 sounds awesome! I may have the dash panels for sale in the future, have to see how they go :)
The flex plate bowed due to the ABS shrinking a bit. You bed adhesion was so good that it pulled up the magnet as opposed to pulling away for the bed (or, in a perfect world, neither).
Flex plate is probably bowing because you printed ABS on it and the bed adhesion was too high, so when the part cooled it shrank and caused the flex plate to bow. Great video! Instant sub/like for cool projects with great production that focus on the building and testing. Looking forward to more!
Pretty much! The print took up most of the surface area so when removed from the printer the plate naturally wanted to bow. Appreciate the kind words, thanks for checking out my vid!
TH-cam algo is the best when it works as intended. I'd never heard of this channel but YT thought it would be right for me and they absolutely nailed it this time. This video hit every possible checkbox I can think of. How are you only at 9k subscribers?! Sub'd, and can't wait to see more.
I like the 3D printed interior part! Btw I work on Porsches for a living and Porsche specifically says NOT to use anti-seize on spark plugs because it interferes with grounding of the spark plug (keep in mind Porsche likes to use CDI ignition systems and the coil gets 400Vdc).
ABS contracts a lot when it cools, and if your parts have good enough adhesion to the build plate, they will warp it under tension until they are removed.
I really hope you do more videos like this and on the 3D printing. You’re really living my dream in these videos. I hope I can learn a lot. Much love from Canada!
Pro tip for ultrasonic cleaners, put yout parts and cleaning solution in a freezer bag and just fill the cleaner with water,saves a lot of solution and you only have to clean the machine out when you do large parts
Thanks mate, I've done that quite a bit in the past (check out some of my other vids 🙂) but unfortunately it was time to put some of the bigger parts in so had to use the whole tank for these and some other parts
The bowing is due to you printing in ABS, which shrinks when it cools. This is also why you need to use a heated print chamber, and why you (likely) have had issues with layer separation or bed adhesion. You should consider switching to PETG, which can handle high temp environments like ABS, but doesn't have the lifting/warping issue. Great video and can't wait to see more!
Close but not quite. The ABS does shrink when it cools, which is why the flex plate bowed when I removed it - you don't need a heated chamber, but an enclosed one definitely helps. No issues with layer separation or bed adhesion, the reason it's bowing is because it is stuck so well to the bed, and only when removed from the printer - the plate is designed to flex and the print covered almost the entire surface with the raft. PETG has a much lower Gt than ABS, but it definitely has its place and I'll show a few PETG parts I've printed in my upcoming vid. Thanks for watching mate, appreciate you taking the time to comment.
the editing and effort gone into this video is crazy, this thing looks amazing and you are seriously an underappreciated creator, hope you find your fame soon!
I love your videos. You do the exact stuff I've been planning to do with my Mazda 323 for a long time, I love following your progress, it motivates me to work on my car too. Keep it up!
i'd imagine that printing over such a wide area, with the hot plastic cooling over time causes very slight shrinkage as it cools. This would then put tension pulling the plate into a bow like shape
12:00 plastic, like metal srinks and expands in accordence to its temp, when the plastic itself (and/or the print plate) cools it causes it to strink, since the plastic is bonded together it doesnt want to break and thus bends along the path of least resistance until the force of the plastic bending is equal to the opposing force of the print plate wanting to stay flat. you can design prints to not do this but understanding how to do so is above my level of knowhow.
Pretty much! There's nuance to different materials and build plates, and this plate bowing like this is the result of the material sticking well to the surface, as opposed to a common issue people face with ABS which is lifting from the print bed - both due to shrinkage. No harm in this plate flexing because it's after the print has finished and cooled :)
The explanations and technical details are really cool, I just love learning how stuff works, how to do things and why something is done the way it is. Don't be afraid to put too much details in :D
If you place the designated cleaner (that's safe for your specific material) into tupperware/jars/plastic resealable bags and run them in the ultrasonic to remove gasses, THEN put the parts into the container for the cleaning cycle< your tank water never gets dirty and you can clean multiple types of material at once. You also don't need to use distilled water anymore.
Thanks mate, I've done that quite a bit in the past (check some of my other vids 🙂) Unfortunately it was time to put some of the bigger parts in there so I had to use the full tank :)
I have an 05 Avalanche that I love. The goofy truck has been getting a proper suspension rebuild, transmission rebuild and a few other evap and intake tune ups. All of the work has been a work of love enjoying the learning process. I’ve mentioned all of this because it all started with- Well, since I’m doing this I should do that!! Love what you’re doing, I’m enjoying watching the process Cheers
Really cool stuff you are doing to the car. I would love to see the way you redesigned your dash. I am slowly working on an 87 VW Cabriolet and this is great information.
Only suggestion I’d make is to setup your switch panel with a red light next to the green so that you can tell where each one is in the dark. Red - off, Green - on
Cheers mate! There's actually a light in the dash that shines onto the panel and illuminates it at night so you can also see the other heater control switches and stickers too :)
Great video, huge respect for the production and editing!! Love the content and appreciate the effort, can see just how much thought and effort goes into your projects 🙌🙌🙌
Not sure how i can across your Channel … but im stoked! This is great content . I work on old BMW’s but love the format and content ! Id love learn more about your 3d rendering process too ! Keep it up
Thanks for tuning in mate! I've got an e30 kicking around that I plan to show more of in the future, too. Most of the footage of the CAD you see in the video is actually just straight from the software, no 'rendering' as such but sometimes I will use raytracing
Bending of the build plate is because the plastic cools and contracts layer by layer, and tension builds up between the layers. It's most noticeable on long thin parts because they'll build up so much more tension horizontally, but in theory it happens on all parts.
You´re so funny, the intro.. =) laughed my ass off, and I think many of us recognise ourselves in one thing leeds to another, to another, to another... great video mate!
@@fatlipcollective I loved the video, 1st time 4 me watching your stuff, and I do think you have a very pleasant and inviting style with your audiance, lot´s of humor, skillfull insights (top of your game), you bring us along in your endevours, and on top of it good script and editing, I´m subscribing :)
Love the interior mockup with the retro style switches. Would look well at home in my Celica, think the dash panel for that is currently in many cracked 70s plastic pieces lol.
3D printing car interior pieces that mount as stock is my dream. Learn how to wrap then some wheels and you could totally change someone's car in a weekend. Get good enough and charge 30k. Having a form fitting seat and custom dash covered in the leather from grand dads old recliner would be dope
"Might as well do it while I am here." Is why I never get any projects done. 😅 but I am a sucker for CLEAN OCD car builds😍 yes. Subscribing now! And yes to all of South Park!
Ah yes, the M.A.W. Paradox… turning a 5 minute job into a 5 day ordeal ever since the dawn of man PS. Such mastery in unnecessary nuisance has earned my sub 🫡 PPS. McMaster Carr has free CAD files for nearly all 20decillion thing that they sell… like nuts, *131 toggle switches*, bolts and FANUC industrial robot arms
Haha cheers mate I appreciate you checking out my video. And thanks for the tip! I feel like someone mentioned that to me a long time ago and I totally forgot about it. I'll keep it in mind for some future projects :)
reason for the print bed warping, is that the ABS itself are warping while stuck to the plate. A heated, or at the least, a draft proof chamber for the printer would help. Optimally you should have a heated chamber for printing ABS, so it doesnt cool down as unevenly as on a open printer. (especially with large pieces)
Thanks for interacting mate. You're close, the warping is due to the shrinking of the ABS but it occurred after the print was completed and it cooled down. The printer is enclosed and heated - the parts released from the bed flat and straight as a ruler :)
@fatlipcollective Yes you are correct , that is why when you use a heated chamber, the whole part is heated to 60-100c somewhere, and slowly and uniformely cooled down. No warping. I can even print nightmare plastics like nylon without warping like this😄
FYI, the bowing of the 3d printer flex plate is due to the contraction of the plastic as it cools back to solid. Unless i am wrong, you mentioned you were printing in ABS plastic. Which is rather notorious for it's tenancy to contract on cooling. Also this is what causes large prints to lift off the bed, or split the print, in the corners.
Thanks mate yep that's basically it. It bowed because the print covered most of the surface area of the plate and when removed from the printer, as the plates designed to flex, the shrinkage of the material caused it to bow :)
Haha thanks mate I appreciate. Tbf there's plastic and there's "plastic", the ABS most likely won't be best suited but we'll see how we go and there's a few other alternatives out there to use if we need to upgrade :)
A "youtuber" would have named this video - Corolla project car painful first start and revs!! But you didn't cause you re a genius. I like your depth of mind, keep up!
This is such a great video! Would you do a video on how you design these 3D printed items? Would love to see how you made the design and what software you used etc. Looks great!
To keep the ultrasonic bath clean, put the dirty parts in a ziploc bag with simple green or some detergent in (or water), and then just float them around in the bath, no need to dirty all the water every time for the smaller parts. Love the video!
Thanks mate, that's what I've done in the past (check some of my other vids) but for this one, these parts and some others that I was putting in there just made it easier to run them straight in and change the water out when I'm done :) Appreciate the kind words, thanks for watching!
Great video! I am extreamly jealous of your CAD and video editing skills, it makes for an incredibly engaging and entertaining video for anyone! Keep up the awesome work, I'll certainly be following along with all your builds!
Congrats man!! It's amazing how it looks. And the brackets for the fan are beautiful too but you have to cover the entire radiator if you want it to cool down because they're meant to work covering the whole radiator and cooling it all at once, If it not the hot air could be goin around and heating the radiation instead of cooling it. Btw I don't speak English so that's why I don't know how to share my knowledge to you. Pd 2 try to inspire yourself looking at a modern car radiator's fan bracket and you will see that is fully covered in order to improve the air flow. Nice build btw
Hey mate thanks for your kind words. Appreciate your concern: Yes, the most ideal setup would be a shroud that directs all flow from the radiator surface through the fan, but the way it is now will still comfortably cool what does pass through the fan, and is already much better than the previous setup I had with the clutch fan (which I ran for years with no shroud at all). So yep, you're right. Something like you've described would cool "better", but what I've got here will be more than enough :)
I'd love to get my hands on some of those 3d print files for my own projects one of which is also a ke10. Love your work man keep it up. New subscriber here.
Thanks for following along mate, I appreciate it. I don't usually share my IP but I may have some completed models for sale in the future, depending on how this design goes :)
Hey, you said you are not sure about the amount of details we want. Well, i came to see how you designed, the challenges you encountered and simply the dash pannel install. I still watched the whole video, but i din't click on it for it. i feel like the title is a bit misleading, but its fine. Great vid, loves the shots and the montage. Nice and cozy to watch on the side, but not a vid to watch full on. Keep it up!
Your content is great dude watched a few now and this is your best yet. Enough detail, easy to see and understand while still addressing some of the niche. love the toggle switch covers and surround. Definitely interested if you make that a production item. Have you considered an oil cooler with the turbo system? Would be another good excuse to make some neat brackets 😎
Thanks mate I appreciate the support! I have thought about an oil cooler but atm the plan for this KE25 is to start with some basics and then upgrade as necessary. Hopefully will help to tell a story of when / why you might consider upgrading things. The blue KE25 on the other hand has a lot of custom things in the works, plenty of brackets DW 😁
Sure i can try and include a little more about that in my next video. Generally speaking it's less about the printer and more about your design and material selection but I'll include that too :)
Thanks mate I have, yep. I usually like the finish of printing on glass, but it depends what I'm making. Might look at adding a new printer soon and will likely go with PEI
"Might as well" is the bane of every mechanic.
Man I legit add like 3 hours to my days work, every day, doing that 😂😭
Might as well is how my “get my mx5 on the road project” into a full blown restoration, 20b swapped widebody project 😂😂
@@robc1014 😂
"Might as Well", that's my whole life...
Mechanics generally don't care. But it's definitely the bane or DIY people! 😅
So few people doing custom interior car work. Well done!
Thanks mate appreciate the support!
Yes for more 3D printing and CAD tips. Yes for more wiring tips
You'll like the next vid then ;)
man this mind set is exactly how my 180 went from repairing some minor damage to full on resto, love it.
Haha cheers mate. My 180sx is also facing the same crossroads in the background as well right now
I really like the editing in this video. Shows you the details but doesn't dwell on them. Great project too.
Hey thanks mate I really appreciate that. I spent a long time on it haha
Those switches are beautifully modelled. Fantastic vid - congratulations mate.
Thanks mate I appreciate it :)
Psst… the free CAD files are available from McMaster Carr

The flex plate bowed due to the ABS shrinking a bit. You bed adhesion was so good that it pulled up the magnet as opposed to pulling away for the bed (or, in a perfect world, neither).
Pretty much! The bed didn't lift/bow inside the machine, only once I removed it to show in the video :)
Flex plate is probably bowing because you printed ABS on it and the bed adhesion was too high, so when the part cooled it shrank and caused the flex plate to bow.

Maximum effort is the most rewarding!
I agree. If it's worth doing, it's worth doing properly.
ABS contracts a lot when it cools, and if your parts have good enough adhesion to the build plate, they will warp it under tension until they are removed.
Pretty much!

Homie, that 3d printing is 🔥. That fan bracket, i would never have thought of that, like you said, the fan is made of plastic😂 noice.
Haha thanks mate I appreciate.
Tbf there's plastic and there's "plastic", the ABS most likely won't be best suited but we'll see how we go and there's a few other alternatives out there to use if we need to upgrade :)
20:23 Goosebumps
It's been a long time coming! 😂
A "youtuber" would have named this video - Corolla project car painful first start and revs!!
But you didn't cause you re a genius. I like your depth of mind, keep up!
Haha thanks mate I appreciate the support! 🙌
This is such a great video! Would you do a video on how you design these 3D printed items? Would love to see how you made the design and what software you used etc. Looks great!
Thanks mate I appreciate it!
Yep, keep an eye out for my next video.
Lots more info on the process :)
The struggle is real, this guy fkin gets it.
Oh my god.
Haha thanks for watching mate
To keep the ultrasonic bath clean, put the dirty parts in a ziploc bag with simple green or some detergent in (or water), and then just float them around in the bath, no need to dirty all the water every time for the smaller parts. Love the video!
Thanks mate, that's what I've done in the past (check some of my other vids) but for this one, these parts and some others that I was putting in there just made it easier to run them straight in and change the water out when I'm done :)
Appreciate the kind words, thanks for watching!
Great video! I am extreamly jealous of your CAD and video editing skills, it makes for an incredibly engaging and entertaining video for anyone! Keep up the awesome work, I'll certainly be following along with all your builds!
Thanks mate I really appreciate it. It's just lots and lots of practice and mistakes :)
Congrats man!! It's amazing how it looks. And the brackets for the fan are beautiful too but you have to cover the entire radiator if you want it to cool down because they're meant to work covering the whole radiator and cooling it all at once, If it not the hot air could be goin around and heating the radiation instead of cooling it.
Btw I don't speak English so that's why I don't know how to share my knowledge to you.
Pd 2 try to inspire yourself looking at a modern car radiator's fan bracket and you will see that is fully covered in order to improve the air flow.
Nice build btw
Hey mate thanks for your kind words.
Appreciate your concern: Yes, the most ideal setup would be a shroud that directs all flow from the radiator surface through the fan, but the way it is now will still comfortably cool what does pass through the fan, and is already much better than the previous setup I had with the clutch fan (which I ran for years with no shroud at all).
So yep, you're right. Something like you've described would cool "better", but what I've got here will be more than enough :)
@fatlipcollective ok I got it. Enjoy it and ride it like it's stolen
I'd love to get my hands on some of those 3d print files for my own projects one of which is also a ke10. Love your work man keep it up. New subscriber here.
Thanks for following along mate, I appreciate it.
I don't usually share my IP but I may have some completed models for sale in the future, depending on how this design goes :)
With all that room you saved by removing the clutch fan, you've got plenty of room for turbo plumbing. 😎
Get a blow-through carburetor and go to town!
Cheers mate! You should check out some of my other vids and keep an eye out for the new ones.
Turbo things are coming :) 😎
So good. I'll sub for this.
Thanks so much mate! 🙌
Hey, you said you are not sure about the amount of details we want. Well, i came to see how you designed, the challenges you encountered and simply the dash pannel install. I still watched the whole video, but i din't click on it for it. i feel like the title is a bit misleading, but its fine. Great vid, loves the shots and the montage. Nice and cozy to watch on the side, but not a vid to watch full on.
Keep it up!
Thanks for the comment mate, appreciate the honesty.
Keep an eye out for my next video, lots more of what you're after :)
bowing in the print is from thermal contraction. If you print ABS you will (almost) eliminate that warping with a heated print chamber
Basically, yep. The part only bowed the plate when removed from the printer and came off the plate straight as a ruler :)
Your content is great dude watched a few now and this is your best yet. Enough detail, easy to see and understand while still addressing some of the niche. love the toggle switch covers and surround. Definitely interested if you make that a production item. Have you considered an oil cooler with the turbo system? Would be another good excuse to make some neat brackets 😎
Thanks mate I appreciate the support!
I have thought about an oil cooler but atm the plan for this KE25 is to start with some basics and then upgrade as necessary. Hopefully will help to tell a story of when / why you might consider upgrading things.
The blue KE25 on the other hand has a lot of custom things in the works, plenty of brackets DW 😁
excellent vid
Thanks mate I appreciate it!
How the heck did I never think to pull the studs out of the timing cover before. Not having to pull the pan to get the cover off is so handy.
It's a game changer for sure. Absolute bane of my life those little studs
i wish i was talentet like you to create dashboard stuff
Nobody is born with knowledge.
Get out there and make some mistakes and keep persisting :)
great vids mate, subbed
Thanks mate I really appreciate it
You should make a video on what kind of 3-D printer you use for your car builds
Sure i can try and include a little more about that in my next video. Generally speaking it's less about the printer and more about your design and material selection but I'll include that too :)
Make sure the clutch switch is adjustable, you want it to turn off the 2 step before the engine bogs down
Cheers mate, I'm sure it'll need a little tweaking but there's a bit of adjustment between that and the MSD :)
Have you tried textured PEI plates. I use them on ABS and ASA and they have worked wonders. Holds during print and releases when cool.
Thanks mate I have, yep.
I usually like the finish of printing on glass, but it depends what I'm making.
Might look at adding a new printer soon and will likely go with PEI
Hey! Awesome video! Could you share the complete wiring for the electric fan?
Hey thanks mate. Lots more info in my next video, including that :)
@ Okay, thanks! Looking forward to your next video!
