- After 2 years of the Porschekart sitting in the corner collecting dust, It’s finally, actually happening. In Detail, while I build it. Actually.
Is it still a PorscheKart? Jury is still out. Either way, Racecar with a V12 and the first in a series of a complete, Ground up build. The Mercedes engine packs a lot of punch in a light formula frame, and everything will go according to plan.
And as always, My social media:

Somewhere between Premiere and RUclips I lost some audio between 6:02 and 6:15. Sorry about that everyone! It's a short explanation and rant about how difficult TPU is to print.
Also another at 10:48 when you start to talk about the wheel's screen
I actually thought it was a joke. "Okay, We're going to talk about the spaghetti here..." then nothing about wiring at all. lol.
TPU is pretty material dependent. Ive used solutech tpu to much success on a stock ender 3, just cut all my speeds to about 40% of my pla profile
Tpu and abs and petg are all ambient temp dependant. Having an enclosure, even just a cardboard box, around the print bed is advised. Yes extra heat will kill your hotend and fan, and your power supply if it is anywhere near the print bed/enclosure, but it is the best way to prevent the edges from peeling off the bed (and thus warping) as well as keeping layer adhesion consistent. I learned this the hard way in a temp controlled room. Enclosures are key.
@@ryanhebron4287 same lol
You the man Wesley! We gotta get our formula cars together!
That is a Collab I would watch!
Thanks Casey! I agree, as soon as this is together I’m going to set up a track day, we need to!
You guys can touch exhaust tips.
@@WesleyKagan If I lived closer (I'm in Sweden) I'd ask to join :) I'm building my version of a Lotus 72E
holy smokes! what an invitation!
I’m in high school, one of the things I may go to college for is engineering. That is solely because of you and this build, thank you!
That's great to hear! Thanks for watching, and best of luck!
I went to school for engineering and I have to say I would have much rather just gotten a shop and started tinkering around and started learning with hands on experience instead. All you do in engineering school is book work and equations and very rarely anything hands on so when you finally go to do your project that inspired you to go to engineering school for, you would in actuality be a thousand times more skilled at that project if you had just been building projects like that for 4 years straight instead of reading books about how the modulus of elasticity and laminar flow. Or maybe you could meet half way, there are cool tech schools that do 2 year programs and have some good hands on stuff.
@@El_Chompo FSAE tho
Find a school with an FSAE team, if you like this kind of stuff you will not regret joining, I’m currently a freshman and joined my schools team and we are doing many of the things he did in the video. :)
If you want to fabricate, then go fabricate. If you want to engineer, then go study engineering. If you want to build the next generation of vehicles at a major manufacturer then yea definitely go to school and don't just go tinker in a shop. But sir is right about doing applied projects on the side. Preferably do an internship. It's very possible to work year round as an intern. It's what I've done my whole time in college.
Always love to see practical use for 3D printing. Great video as always, and looking forward to the next two!
can´t wait for the next video
Stop watching youtube videos and get your next one out 🙃
Welcome back, Wesley!
What a wonderful series. I'm so excited to see the Kart take shape. This thing is one to pass on to your kids; it's that great of a project.
Also, love the Synthwave background music.
Thank you! Same here, it's going to be a great project, I can't wait. Already is in a lot of ways!
So happy to see you back at this project, Wesley. I wouldn't be terribly disappointed to see an entire video dedicated to the equal length exhaust so we can hear the V12 scream... just saying
Oh it's going to sound good- I'm debating on whether I'm going all mandrel bent on the stainless or if going to weld it together. Cost will probably be the question there.
@@WesleyKagan don't forget the time component. Every time I fire up the tig, it feels like the sun is about to come back up as I finish the job.
I liked the steering wheel bit too btw, it's cool to see the design in how communication will be handled and what data will be read based on what condition is active on the wheel.
I'd be interested to see a fleet update. You seem to have an interesting mix of vehicles. Similar to Superfast Matt, you should collab.
I probably should. It's been a while since I've done an update, honestly.
@superfastmatt you watching?
I'm excited to see this trilogy or however many episodes it will have. I enjoy the way you share your process of testing and building. The iterations on the steering wheel add lightness!
Exactly! I didn't mention it, but It's almost the same weight as a regular Wheel- ABS and carbon don't add a ton of weight.
@@WesleyKagan It's an absolute joy to see you do things that I have no way of doing. Be well!
ALso you should strongly consider using a Teensy 4.1 and Canbus for all comms between systems on the car. I also have my ECU directly interfaced to the Teensy4.1 datalogger as well through CANbus. cuts cables down hugely and getting different systems talking to each other stops being a new problem each time.
I was just gonna comment this. The CAN-bus is very robust, quite fast and it is easy to add stuff later on. Also as you say, with a Teensy or something similar it is very easy to implement!
what blows my mind is in like... 2015-16? i used Teensy 2.0's to build a few mechanical keyboards... really has never been a better time for DIY
I can't understand why this channel doesn't have more viewers/subscribers. Wesley is a very smart, innovative creator.
I originally got suckered in by your mechanical logic gates. While I’m disappointed in the lack of further episodes of that this far, I’m more than impressed by the effort that you give to us on your channel and each new video you release is exciting anew! I’m a graduate mechanical engineer. Great to get inspired here!
You're supremely underrated, keep on keeping on.
Great to see you back! Awesome work as always!
Thank you! Glad to be back!
Good to have you back! Hope you give us an update on all the projects
Thanks for sharing, happy that you are back.
Great to have you back on RUclips. Looking forward to follow the ongoing work
Thanks for the update Wesley. I really enjoy keeping up with the progress on your projects.
Thanks for watching!
i'm so stoked you're back! thanks for sharing!
I wish I were even a fraction as driven and as talented as you to be able to do something like this, but it makes me very happy that people like you can concoct things like this. Great work.
Awesome to see @theMountainGoats being appreciated!
Always awesome to see these vids. Can't wait to see this thing in it's full form!!
Great to see you back and on this build.
I was just thinking about your projects a couple days ago. So glad to see you posted!
Awesome project, welcome back !
Keep it up, you rock! looking forward to see the journey of finishing this amazing idea!
Glad to see you back
It’s awesome. Keep the updates coming. I don’t care if the video production isn’t “up to snuff” I just wanna see content. Love it.
This is one of my favorite projects on RUclips.
Glad to hear it!
Good to see you are back!
Wesley, you are hands down the most fascinating automotive youtube channel. Well done, can't wait to see this come together!!
Wow, thanks! That means a lot!
So happy to see a new video!
Been waiting for this for so long! Amazing
Great to see this build come back! Can't wait to see what you accomplish.
Thanks for watching! It's going to be fun!
Always a real treat when I see a new video of yours pop up! Great work as always, looking forward to seeing the progress continue.
Good to see you posting again 😀
Wow there is some amazing detail in this! I love all the 3D printing effort to detail too
Hey man, just wanted to say you're one of my favourite home build engineering creators. Your videos are so, so great. Up there with the best, and I can't wait till your channel blows up.
WOW! The amount of envy and admiration I have is unreal!
Thanks for sharing your video, great engine.
Post them videos!!! I’d watch them and I bet a lot of other people would too
Marvelous project... congratulations, you are great!! parabens from Brazil
omg, i was waiting sooo long for this!!
As always, love the info!
Stellar work once again man !
Always look forward to your content man!
Very inspirational work, nice man
Awesome work!
You’re open-sourcing it! That’s awesome! So awesome!
Always, It's boring if only I can use it.
Anyone with a V45 Interceptor in their garage is cool. I had the 2nd one in the state of NC in 1983. Now I have someone else to follow and learn from, great channel.
I think about you from time to time... never quite remember your handle either... but you never fail to show up! Awesome stuff! Would love to see more of the car.
What a fantastic project , can't wait to see it finished.
Dude. Great job. Your work is awesome. Keep it up👍👍
i love your videos man. always such a joy to watch. i cant follow everything you do because im nigh but a humble mechanic... but i just love learning anyways! i can see the effort and care you put into your videos.
Amazing work, keep it up
I appreciate your editing, stoked to see how everything goes
I appreciate it!
great build man!
I can’t wait for this car build. I wanted to create my own open wheel/f1 style car for the longest time, but make it the other way: instead of going back to 60s, I wanted to use as much banned tech as possible and make it modern. As I learned a few videos back, we’re the same age, so looking at your progress, I should get on it 😅
Good to see you back in the garage with some new content, Wes! Suggestion on the steering wheel rotary control knobs: (I know this, because I am also building my own steering wheel for my street car, and I am trying to print circuit boards to retrofit steering wheel controls from a ~2018 Hyundai into a 1998 Trans Am) the way that the factory avoids the spaghetti, is this--Instead of running each resistor to a separate wire out (a good idea at the start), each resistor runs into the next adjacent resistor, similar to how a rotary phone works. Select item 1, and the signal goes through one resistor, and then out. Select item 2, it goes through that resistor, followed by the resistor from item 1 for a total if 2 resistors, and a different resistance value. As expected, item 9 runs through all 9 resistors before exiting the steering wheel. In this way, only 1 wire need go in, and one back out again. Hope that helps.
Congrats on the write-up in Road and Track my man!!
Thanks! I'd be lying if that wasn't serious motivation to get this project more on the road haha
This is insane and I love every second of this video. I can do the mechanical work but I’d definitely need to learn the electrical side of this but it’s absolutely stunning. Best of luck I love this idea!
If you would like to use the i2c bus in higher noise environments, or environments with longer runs, I would look into a bus accelerator. Analog devices sells the LTC4311 which I have seen used to fortify i2c busses on cat 5 cable. Signals competently and reliably can be transmitted for distances over 30m. I know you've found a workaround at this point, but in case you feel like it, you could look into this. Also: I would point out that the arduino uno/micro uses an ancient 8 bit microcontroller with extremely low speed and memory resources. I highly recommend looking at the arduino zero or nano, which use a much more modern 32 bit arm microprocessor and have tons more space in them.
Alternatively move to CAN. There are some simple/cheap CAN transceivers like MCP2515, with corresponding Arduino library. Similarly to I2C, you can put a (large) number of devices/uCs on the network, which consists of only 2 wires, but is much more robust.
Bus accelerators do work, but they're an EMI nightmare - if you're running that I2C parallel to any other busses or analogue signals crosstalk can become a huge problem.
I second using a modern 32 bit micro. I spend a lot of time working with the pi pico and I'm a huge fan.
@@huzeff CAN would be the logical choice here, since it's pretty much designed for this purpose...
Also later in the video he refers to an MS3Pro by which I presume he means MegaSquirt, which supports CAN for clusters...
Oooohh! some CanBus folks!!! Hey ah, can someone tell me why we even use CAN? I dunno just doesn’t make sense with mini and micro PCs, GPUs, etc. One would think all that processing speed would be beneficial to engine performance. And then watching movies, ya see kids racing with friggin laptops in the passenger seat. Yea I’d rather ask the question than look it up and tumble down the research rabbit hole - kinda old school, but not old school enough that I wouldn’t mind a few 100 core processors (or whatever we’re up to now) on-board. Na don’t want a Tesla! Rather breathe car exhaust than mine the Earth for all she’s worth. (can’t wait for them to leave for Mars. I hope they can hold their breath!). Anyway, I ask because I own a Tech II. Boy! it’s painful to use, especially since GM only let’s you use a IBM Thinkpad from the ‘90’s and RS-232 serial connects (pre- USB). I got it new from China (can’t get a letter to my neighbor within a week, yet get pkgs from China next-day. I just don’t get it). Yea, don’t ding me for mining silicon - I got nothin’…😊
@@pistonwristpin1 CAN was designed from the outset with automotive (and similarly electrically nasty environments) in mind, it's got very high noise immunity without needing a bunch of shielding and such. It's also resilient enough that it'll keep working even if you break one of the two CAN lines (though at diminished performance). It's also *relatively* simple to implement in hardware.
Also being an addressed, bus-based system it means you can stick all the stuff in the vehicle onto the same (or more often a couple of separate) CAN network(s) and have them talk to one another without having to build and wire dedicated point-to-point communications interfaces between each system and all the stuff that system needs to talk to.
Means you can just lego stuff together, for example you can stick something like a Haltech Nexus ECU, several Haltech PD16's, a pair of Wideband controllers, an electronic dash and whatever other gubbins into a system and just use the same two wires to connect the lot together rather than having to individually every circuit through the car separately.
This is awesome man
I really like your videos! Just the right level of nerdiness👍
Keep up the good work!
Great work looking forward to the missing videos and the next installments
This is so impressive. Rather jealous of your skills to build this thing!
Awesome! Keep it up!
Great to see a new video. Fantastic project as always.
Many thanks!
enjoyed the video and the tricks you used, cheers
Noooice. Good to see this project progressing!
I actually started a project like this myself, so this is perfect timing
Wesley good Sir absolutely great to see you again. Already know this will be one of my favorite builds. So very exciting👏
Very excite you got Bobby on board for this
Right on Wesley! Happy for you mate keep it up 💪🏽🏁
Thank you!
been waiting for ages!
Great video! Can't wait for the next one!
Thank you!
I am purely impressed. Very nice project and it is well done. Full professional. Thanks for sharing and inspiring. All best to you.
That is an awesome steering wheel!
Absolutely super cool, keep it coming! The steering wheel part is really interesting since I’m working on the same type of system for my RSX project car. Printing TPU as we speak and yes it is a mess, but I think I’ve almost got it figured out.
Love it and your content, cant wait to see how you get on with it :)
Thanks so much!
Don't know a thing about mechanics and engineering, but I love these
Just nice listening to a competent man doing things
i'm an embedded software engineer, and the display is pretty dope. i've been designing a similar display for an F1 style go kart i have (made in the 70's). if you are still having memory problems, there are some tricks you can do. you can store some (or all) of the static image data like the lines in the program space using the keyword PROGMEM. if you haven't used it before, read the arduino page on it. you also want to live in the stack as much as possible, and use as few variable declarations as possible. in some cases, you can use the video memory to do calculations. if you have a chunk of video memory you know is all 0's or all 1's, you can write some math stuff in there, and then just put the 0's or 1's back when you are done (John Carmack perfected this method with Commander Keen years ago). Basically, try to avoid any alloc calls if you can, and reuse variable as much as possible. anything static, stick it in progmem.
you can also usually compress your graphics a TON. i noticed you have a lot of lines , and instead of storing a bunch of 1's in memory, you can store where the line goes and how long it is. typically storing compressed data in progmem is the way i save the most space when it comes to fancy screens.
you also might write your version of Wire.h that does the bit banging for I2C. you can often squeeze out some more space by doing this because the libraries have to be general purpose and often include stuff you don't need for this particular project. this goes double for screen libraries, which often have a TON of complicated and bulky code for screens that can rotate like a phone. The adafruit screen library has a huge amount of code that is useless if you don't plan on rotating your screen at all.
Glad to see you back!! Would love to see the lathe video you made and never shared.
Love these videos. The steering wheel looks great.
Hell yes I'm excited to see more!
Pumped to see this revived! Steering wheel looks good though it's so close to the rest of the dash would be easy to accidentally hit switches and stuff while turning, I know all that's gonna change anyways but yeah, something to plan, a wheel looks good in it's initial position but you have to think of ergonomics mid-turn too and not hitting anything else with your hands.
Yeah, I didn't have room on the build now for gauges or dash switches or anything, so that's why it all moved to the wheel. Makes things easier for sure!
"Things always go to plan"...SuperfastMatt would like to have a word...
Great video!
Well done that man!
Nice to see this project going again. Don't think I've ever seen an open wheeler with a dragster style roll cage. Aesthetically it looks a bit odd, but I suppose safety was a higher priority than looks here.
Keep up the good work!
Great video, i do really like how focused you are on your projects. I start new projects all the time but its cause i run out of money and have that brilliant idea that costs me like your pedals lol.
Keep it up
What really helped me print TPU was getting a filament dryer, TPU wicks up moisture really quickly from the air and creates artifacts and other print issues. I just got a cheap food dehydrator off Amazon and cut the racks until I could fit a roll of filament in there. I normally put the filament in for a couple hours before I print
There's some great ideas in this reboot, the trick is to finish it rather than constantly iterating individual parts. Thanks for sharing Wesley, I'm looking forward to seeing the build progress!
Very nice. Wow that is a lot of wires to wire through a steering wheel connector though.
I did try something similar once (ended up parking it for now) but used a 6-pin mini-din in the inside of the steering shaft. Lined up so that when the steering wheel was in the correct place it would just slot in. Only used 4 pins though, gnd, +12v, CAN L and CAN H. Used a custom circuit board to use CAN with an arduino. I'd link pictures but youtube won't let me.
The really crazy part about all this is in the end you likely could have just built a second car and kept the Boxster racer. Evolved instead so survival of the fittest I suppose! ;) Awesome video as always lots of insights.
9:16 "Everything is a version 1 until it's not"
Lol yeah, this is the quote of the day
Love your videos bud. Keep it up. Thanks for sharing and making everything open source.
Glad you like them!
You're back!
For good results with tpu, the best thing I’ve heard to do is get the straightest and shortest length direct drive extruder as possible. Things like ender 3’s are especially bad at tpu because of their Bowden tube setup where the filament has room to squish. Hope this reaches you and is of help 👍🏻
Absolutely awesome steering wheel build. Glad someone showed that a modern looking F1 style wheel can be made at home. I think another good route that’s less time intensive, but also less cool, would be to mount an AiM dash to a steering wheel
6:00 "We're gonna talk about this spaghetti here" and absolute silence follows lol
Surprised none of the other comments mention the 15s silence from 6:02 - 6:17, had to scroll a bunch to find this 😅
Your back!!! Pop pop!
