Howie Did It - An Experiment in 3D Printing
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 дек 2020
- Faced with the reality of having to make a complete set of extended wheel arches for our turbo charged, 4WD monster mini, a chance meeting with a mad Spaniard gave us pause for thought. What if we could get someone else to do it? That was the main motivation behind this experiment in creating a bespoke body kit from 3D printed plastic.

I'm glad I could help, anything to help you finish the car.
😘
"This is global!" )
Brakets. Make them loads of different brakets. I heard they love them over here.
But where are the SPACERS?
IVAN YOU LGEGEND!!
Now here's a collab I did not see coming!
Thais is why Project Binky has taken so long - waiting for technology to catch-up with Nick's high-functioning lunacy ;)
LOL! Oh you're so right mate!
they are going to have to chuck the entire engine and drivetrain when someone comes up with the flux capacitor, unless they finish it before then of course.
@@idiotstupid5904 Or Nick gets a working design of a Dino juice extractor incorporating a modified Bamix adapted to a Miele washing machine and using old teabags as raw product to make their own fuel.
Next the whole chassis is going to be laser scanned to be remade in 3D printed Titanium
Now they just need to go watch RUclips tutorials on how to make quality carbon fibre...
“60 hours - that’s almost 80 hours!” Never get tired of hearing that gag lol
How about 16 hours per arch...
Absolutely loved this. Had to double check it was new, not something I had missed from 1978 when this build started.
It’s been so long I thought Sir Alex Issigonis start this project…..lol
"but they still need finishing off by hand. And who doesn't occasionally" made me loose my coffee
That gave me a good chuckle, too! 😂
or did it make you tighten your coffee?
No tea ? Bolloks !
@@VelocityLabs well played sir 😁
LOSE your coffee because your grip was LOOSE.... pisses me off everytime...
Ivan and his work are absolutely fantastic! I'm glad to see you two (or three, actually...) working together. I'm definitely interested in seeing how well these hold up long term.
Hello Ronald! Merry Christmas! I thought we'd see you here after you name-checked Nick yesterday!
May be useful for your car in the future!
Back to work Ronnie, you’ve got assembling to do!
glad to hear you’ll be putting a 3d printed widebody on the next Fiero you buy
Hah.. I just finished your video a few minutes ago before hitting this one. Merry Xmas!
Nick & Richard: If you guys ever need to replace the arches, might I recommend using heat-set inserts instead? They are installed by pushing the insert into a slightly undersized hole with the blunt tip of a soldering iron. The heat is transferred through the insert to the plastic locally, softening it and allowing the insert to slide in. They are much stronger than threaded inserts, I've used them on a 3D-printed intake manifold where the plenum halves were held together with them with no issues.
Also to add to this, PLA is a very brittle plastic and may deform on a hot sunny day. Glass or carbon filled vinyl material is available for 3D printing and is better for end-use. But from the video, it sounds like the plan is to create molds and make these in carbon fiber, a la instagram's @3D_magic_mike.
Yep, this is the best way to install thread-serts in thermoplastics.
14:16 Don't think heat-set inserts will work with the fiberglass or composites Rich said they're going to make the actual arches out of. These ones are still intended to be patterns for making a mold, rather than for actual use...and the current inserts are there so they can fit the temporarily and ensure the attachment points are in the correct position.
They can achieve the same result as a heat set insert by doing a wet install and dab the insert with epoxy.
hang on, 3d printed intake manifold? could i request more info on this mate? i had often toyed with the idea but didnt think there would be a strong enough material out there (boost)
I love this series. It's the one series I litterally check up on daily. Impatiently waiting for a new episode.
Let’s pray we all live long enough to see it completed.
The closer the completion gets the more I want it and the more I fear it will all be over.
That's why they have the escargot project and that sportscar shell they're going to finish 😉
I think they gave us plenty of hints there is still a lot of stuff in the making :) it may take another 7 years but other cars are coming!
The space time continuum has already begun to tremble, you think Covid, the Fobos storms and Biden winning (citation needed) the election were accidents?
@@raygale4198 lol, this has been debunked by our independent fact checkers.
sad days indead!
Where would we be without people like Ivan and Howie. Merry Christmas everybody.
Especially Howie is doing a great job!
Guest starring: Ivan Idear & Howie Diddit
Merry Christmas!
Wow guys, Ivan and Howie are stars, love it when other trades collaborate with each other to find a solution to a problem. It’s the wonderful thing about engineering. Wishing you both and your families a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. And that extends to your RUclips family. All the best in 2021 everyone 👍🥂🕺🪅🎊🍺🎉🙏🍾
"But they still need finishing off by hand....and who doesn't, now and then?" LOL. Epic.
I had to pause and check the comments hahaha!
Obviously laminated cardboard is the future but it's not quite there yet, and until then this 3d printing business does a fine job.
No need for cardboard aided design when cardboard is the design.
Lightweight laminated cardboard is indeed the future!
@@od3447 Ikea's getting into the auto industry?
It was close many years ago with the Trabant's compressed wood fibre and resin body panels, but technology moved a different direction.
Future Binky will be made from their waste tea.

Project Binky and Ivan Miranda----- Christmas is here.
Yeah!
Indeed, Christmas came a day early!
So happy to see progress resume. Merry Christmas to you thanks for soldiering on.
A Christmas miracle! Binkie is back!... God bless us, everyone.
i flipping love youtube crossover episodes
Once again, anything worth doing is worth radically overdoing.
Or, 'Theres no kill like _OVERKILL!!!_
Is there any other way, then?...
I do find the lack of brackets... Disturbing... 🤔😁
and again and again and again 😂
Nothing succeeds like excess!
3d printing is one of my passions, so it’s great to see you guys involving Ivan to come up with a solution to a problem on Binky. Can’t wait to see her “in color”.
Merry Christmas guys. Been here from the start & still enjoy every episode. Thanks for sharing & all the jocularity in the process. Roll on 2021 & more Binky. Billy J.... Queensland, Australia.
Ahh, the christmas gifts we all needed!
"Because , reasons" .
Best explanation for everything.
Outstanding. That's the only word I can think of for this project. And the other youtube references are never lost on me, such a great community. Thank you guys for the content you have provided, it's helped a lot.
WOW!!! A Binky video! What a beaut Christmas present! Thanks, lads... 👍😎
Just what the doctor ordered! Thanks so much for this gentlemen, top notch work and effort as always and I can't wait to see it all painted! Merry Christmas from Canada 🎄👍
Too bad the Atlantic is so inconveniently positioned.... We really need Fanatik and Binky together at the track once you're both done... Throttle Stop Garage, too!
@@Overlord341 not sure how, but we've gotta make that happen someday!
Always fun when to youtube channels you are watching coming together. :)
As soon as I saw "mad Spaniard" there was really only one explanation... :-)
The most joyous thing about watching "builders" on RUclips is how they have formed a community, and help each other. I found Project Binky from a comment on the Sampson Boat Co channel. This is just lovely. Thanks and Merry Christmas. *I just finished stuffing two Christmas Stockings, and will go to bed after this video finishes.)
Bliss! It’s a Binky Christmas. Amazing stuff and thanks for the final colour clue. I hope you guys and all your loved ones have a good time (as best you can the way things are)!
Bloody hell, 2020 is a crazy year. I think this is the 3rd episode of Binky this year.
The flares look great. I need to track down some of those threaded inserts for some other completely random, not flares at all, thing I need to do.
Two of my favorite channels teaming up. What an awesome video!
Awesome. Happy Christmas chaps.. Looking forward to more vids in the new year
It must be Christmas if a BOM vid comes out! Love it!
so - those arches - practice for the big ones needed when pimping up the escargot with the big wide chromeys and air-dropped suspension?
Great vid, missed you guys! Damn fine 3d cad work and printing. Merry Christmas chaps.
The mechanical skill and craftsmanship shown is all next level and everything, but can we take a moment to applaud the narration? You guys and ToT have some of the best narration on RUclips.
your newborn kids back in the day when this project started will be able to take driving lessons in Binky
its only been 7 years
and counting
It really is christmas day (as in central europe, where christmas is celebrated on the 24th)! What a present
You also replace B in music with H, so it's not all good :)
Hey! A BOM vid, what an excellent Christmas present! Thank guys. :)
Happy Christmas guys thanks for all the good videos !
Hey there fellas. Parts look good. I am glad to know through my own experience printing plastics that you aren't intending to use PLA parts on a car, rather you are making molds. That carbon will look great I'm sure. Always a bit cheeky with the hints aren't you,, everyone knows that molds are red.
Would skinning these with carbon fiber be a good solution rather than making molds?
@@UkraineTrain21 That doesn't change the brittleness or the sensitivity to heat, just laminates it like a windshield so that if it cracks or breaks it doesn't fall apart. I suppose if you used actual resin and fiber it would help it keep shape in heat.
Also, it makes a lot of sense to make molds. Once you have a good buck a mold is not terribly hard to make and you can reproduce the flares easily if you ever stuff one up on a cone or barrier. (they'll be autocrossing this thing) Once the mold is made you can still use the buck (and see how well these hold up on a car). If the buck is not strong enough to pull out of the mold then it's not strong enough to be on the car.
I disabrie that all molds are red
@@denziljoe This is true but it is a good color to see imperfections. I'm sure you know this but your parts will only be as good as the mold used to make them as far as surface finish goes
@@atsernov I like your explanation. I think something that people don't think about is the size change though small could be still significant as a tolerance stack up. The bucks that were made are true size, any parts made over them will be slightly over sized, so using the buck to make a mold will result in true sized durable parts.
Surprised and delighted to hear Nik use the term "skookum" out of nowhere.
yeah , they often throw in some AvE - speak
Thats a AvE saying, right?
@@handjobsforthehomeless It's a Chinook word that you (rarely) hear in the North American Pacific Northwest. I didn't know what AvE is until I looked it up, but this is the first time I've heard someone from overseas use it. Skookum.
@@technicalseattle5233 Check out AvE's channel. Great machinist/tinkerer. Lot of great videos but also some odd wording when explaining stuff :)
Seattle here as well. Really jumped out at me when he said it.
Boys, that has just made my Christmas 🎄. Hope you are all keeping safe and well. Looking forward to 2021 and seeing how Binky turns out and big yellow of course. So wishing you and all your family all the very best this holiday season. Derek
Fresh Binky content! Best... Christmas... Present... Everrrrrr
I wondered what had become of "Binky." Makes one appreciate the craft of sheet metal and an English Wheel.
"Lasers. Frickin' laser beams!"
Next step: sharks with frickin' laser beams.
For the arch villain?
Minis with freakin laser beams
@@l8tondillon-gray49 nicely played:)
"I figure everyone deserves a warm meal..."
@@STAG162 :D
I've been following both Bad Obsession and Ivan's channels for a long time - it was a nice surprise to see you coming together on the Binky project ! Top Work Chaps!
This was such a lovely surprise on a pretty lonely Christmas eve, thanks guys 😀
I want this series to end to see the final result but I don't ever want this series to end......
Oh, was that a spoiler in the colour choice at the end or a red herring??
I was just thinking the same thing. Was not expecting that colour to come out...
That's the thing about these infuriating teases... they know what they've done... They've sent us down a rabbit hole of regressive logic trying to discern did they show us the color because that's the actual color and now we'll be completely thrown off because surely there's no way they'd show us the color but they would have to know that we would suspect that they would never show us the color so they can show it with impunity because we'll doubt it but do they know that we know that they would do that and have they counted on the fact that we will be hyper obsessive lunatics...
Grrrrrr.
Timo Mäkinen raced a red Mini... But I'd be surprised if they straight up revealed the colour now. You know, tow hitches of race cars are red as well.
red undercoat me thinks
it looked more pink to me, so im assuming its a joke
Yess, the perfect Christmas present. Another BOM installment!
Cheers lads, have a wonderful Christmas and a much better 2021!
I'm SO happy this gentleman came back again with the project pinky,the reason I fell in love of their work
That looked suspiciously like the red of Timo Mäkinen's Mini.
That'll be for the contrast colour to BRG?
@@twotone3070 Binky is white
Could be a 'Red' herring
@@Random-nf7qb although thats true it doesnt necessarily mean that it'll be the end colour, i mean lets cast our mind back many years when the project was named and actually BEGAN, it was a white mini literally at deaths door ;) just sayin ;) PS i not even gonna try predict what it may end up being but white is no more or less likely than anything else :)
this is great. im using lots of 3d-printed stuff on my cars.
PLA can be a bit sensitive to hot summer heat.
But ABS or PETG works just fine on a car in my experience :)
doesnt PLA get really brittle over time. I think ABS would be best suited
They're in the UK so heat isn't something to worry about :P
@@boerharms2209 petg is just as temperature and light stable as abs, but doesn't have the same printing difficulties. I think printing a part in abs at this scale would be impractical due to bed adhesion, layer adhesion, and warping problems because an enclosure wouldn't work well on a printer this large.
@@boerharms2209 Not as badly as often made out, I have had PLA plant pots sat outside for 6 years and they are fine. Moisture absorbtion can cause issues over a long time but the paint will keep the moisture and UV out.
Wow and wow! to the dedication and problem solving.
Thank you for this update and Merry Christmas
So, someone are wathcing AvE here! Nice touch! Ore skookum as you said it.
Lol, I heard that too.
"The world went mad" historical understatement haha merry christmas chaps!
Ivan Miranda working on Binky has made my day. Great work as always guys!
I love these two channels... Best Christmas ever!!!
Merry Christmas to everyone in these dark times.
I like how AvE-speak is slowly diffusing throughout the rest of youtube
Hopefully his tone deaf politics don't. Oh. Too late.
@@brownhues please elaborate?
AvE didn't invent any of his catchphrases or buzzwords.
After putting up with months of bullsnot and lockdowns we see that Binky survives COVID and lives! Yay! Those flares were a ton of work! Beautiful craftsmanship right down to the finish colou.
Love the international flair of the project now, right down to the Canadian technical term “Skookum”.
Thanks for posting boys.
Have a Happy, Healthy, and Prosperous New Year!
Great job as always, Howie. Love to you and yours
I guess red color is so Binky is easier to find when Nik throws it into a hedge!
wouldnt that be something.
"next time we are gonna rebuild the mini"
and we get to watch it again.
I very much doubt the arches will be red. Possibly white (to contrast the probable British racing green of the body). I'm sure the red is a 'raging red herring' so to speak.
@@MrJohn5791 Or it could be red mould release, since Rich says @ 14:16 that these are still going to be used to make moulds, and the actual arches are still going to be made of fiberglass or composite.
@@Frietpan not a cheeseburgers chance in america will I sink another 6 years into a 1 car build. Or will I?
@@aussiebloke609 I think that they were planning on using the 3D printed parts as the actual arches (why else would they fit the M5 Heli coils?), if that didn't work they would then use them as patterns to create moulds and make them out of fibreglass (or Carbon fibre?) instead.
Howie's pretty good at getting it done, maybe you should get him in more often?
If there's one key that opens almost any door it has to be "Because he's a Binky fan".
Outstanding to see collaboration on an international scale.
Boggles the mind Nick NOT ONLY prints parts, he also prints new PRINTERS.
I've come to idolise this project. There's e a solution to any problem in the current tech/IT network.
Binky is better than any Christmas present, thank you guys 👍👍
Ahh yes, your suppliers may be unreliable during these times but Howie can always be counted on to deliver
Skookum, hmmm have Richard been overdoing the AvE watching again ?
No pixies or schmoo in this video.
Most defenetly to much AvE, considering the 'hand finish' joke.😂
Well Binky is definitely going to be a skookum choocher, so it seems likely.
Amused at "skookum" going all the way from the North American Pacific Northwest to the U.K. Skookum is a Chinook (a native trade language) word.
Edit: you can see definition at en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skookum
@@fredericapanon207 It's even worse, I'm not English, I'm Norwegian.....
That comment about needing finishing off by hand nearly slipped by me. Classic Binky humor that keeps me coming back for more. Keep up the good work.
god bless ivan
and merry christmas to you
and im not going to wish you a happy new year but i will say all the best for the new year thank you so much for the content
I have some experience with 3d printed PLA parts and i can tell you that they don't do a good job on holding their shape with sun exposure.
Came here to say the same thing
Agreed. Being in England might help temperature wise, but those arches wouldn't survive a summer in the southwest US. Plus UV will make it brittle as it ages. I'd get those molds made soon or reprint with a tougher material, ABS or similar.
Its not virgin PLA that'll be exposed to sunlight so I wouldn't be worried about UV.
Temperature however is absolutely a concern. On a hot day in the UK I wouldn't be surprised to see some warping, especialy around the interface with the car body.
On the upside, PLA is REALLY strong so at least it has that going for it.
Using these as mold bucks for something carbon would be spot on!
I think leaving that as a future upgrade would be the best idea though, its not like a shortcut that you'd regret being a bolt on part.
@@SKYWURX I feel like the paint will help, but it's not going to be enough long term for something sitting outside all the time. I've had PLA parts sitting near a window but not in direct sunlight become noticably brittle after time. My money is on these not making it a year.
@@SKYWURX Yep, beat me too it! At least when they do need new arches, if they keep the PLA ones, new ones can be printed to be used as a mold pretty easily.
Swines what colour, Happy christmas can't wait for the reveal.
White. Binky, Death's Horse is white. 🧐
@@Deviant365 took me 7 years to link this together
More more please the suspense is killing me , oh when is it going to be finished. Top top work guys. 😉😉😉
What an amazing collaboration!
It's the Internet brilliant?
Aren't people amazing?
Thanks for sharing.
Between the rocks and heat, they will be destroyed first drive. They look amazing though. I would make molds before you throw them on the car.
If they get too hot while sat outside the car then the project has bigger troubles, such as being on fire. You have to take PLA upto about 90c before it bcomes self plying, although with a 3mm thikcness (wall thickness is uausally 1.2 or 1.6mm, perhaps 2.4) then they should be quite tough.
I think they'll be more than tough enough to put on the car, but i'd start by making moulds first nonetheless, just in case...
Dustin, are you also a fan? Wow, I guess Binky really brings great makers together!
@@godalmighty83 The glass transition temperature of PLA is about 60c. That's enough for it to warp. It's not that hard for objects in direct sunlight to get there. I'm more worried about the print splitting along the print lines under stress.
At the very end they said they were going to make molds
I do hope they finish the interior with an 8-Ball gearknob.
Or maybe a piece of amber with a prehistoric mosquito in the middle of it..! 🤣
They can get one from The Skid Factory
Those turned out looking Great. Ivan did you all a good deed
Very kool to see people reaching out to help keep things moving along with all the lockdowns going on. Stay safe people and Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone.✌✌
i wondered what ivan was going to use that bloody big thing for.
This. THIS!
@@ivanmirandawastaken love your work.
@@psyolent. Thanks!!

What a legend, subscribed to Ivan and will be checking out his videos too, that tank looked awesome
Ahhhh a little sneak peek of what colour you’re going for! Nice
12:50 😂
Nice colour! Oh and “first” as they say.
Red Binky confirmed?
Red!
No I think it will be white with green bits. Maybe a green roof and arches. Or green with white bits.
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year BOM!
I wish you all safety, good health, happiness, & prosperity in the coming new year.
Best christmas gift ever is; Binky content at last!!!!!
I'm more than a little surprised he printed those out of PLA given the intended use. Seems like a poor choice to me. Was there a particular reasoning behind that choice?
They only need them to make bucks for moulds then they will be able to knock out as many fibreglass ones as they like
That is definitely red paint!
I smell a red herring
Or a glorious shade of British Leyland Brown...
looks a little purple-ish
@@aaronluck9336 You need to clean your screen buddy.
A Blinky episode. Best christmas present ever. Cheers Guy's and merry christmas.
AMAZING !!!!!!!!! GREAT JOB !!!!! THANK YOU GUYS !
The guy doing the painting looks like he's done it a couple of times before.
I find that quite relaxing to watch. I lose track of time. But he runs that sander with no face mask, in addition to the sander's collection/exhaust tube not being connected to anything.
Teasing bastards! I thought we might get a cheeky look at the colour. I swear I saw pink coming out of the gun at the end!
The colour only came out of the gun once it had been finished off by hand.
@@MalcolmPowder Brilliant!
Could be red, they showed a pic on Fb of the boot done in primer, but you could seea tiny bit of red under masking tape on the boot lip
With the paint being sprayed like that, red could look pink.
That said, there's a Mini running around my town in the summers that is a metallic/candy pink with a Metallic gunmetal gray roof, and it looks absolutely fantastic. So pink wouldn't be the worst choice for a Mini... not sure how it would look against the gray parts they powdercoated earlier though.
Ahh... sooo nice to see progress on Binki......Merry Christmas everyone
This has given me ideas for building bike panels. Thank you for sharing
Should have called this one "how we got someone else to did it"
Any other single blokes like me watching this alone on Christmas Day? Feeling glad I don’t have to join in any festivities.
Yes, who would want to enjoy themselves?
@@edman79 not me. Christmas is based around the birth of a fictional character. May as well celebrate the birth of the tooth fairy.
@@LickyDischarge Yes, no atheist has ever celebrated Christmas.
